If an EXEC statement calls a cataloged or in-stream procedure, the TIME parameter is added to or overrides the TIME parameter on:

• The EXEC statement named in the procstepname qualifier. The information applies only to the named procedure step. The EXEC statement can have as many TIME.procstepname parameters as the procedure has steps; each TIME parameter must specify a unique procstepname.

If procstepname is not coded, the TIME parameter applies to the entire procedure and nullifies any TIME parameters on EXEC statements in the procedure. For example, suppose you specify TIME=5 on an EXEC statement that calls a procedure. The first step in the procedure is allowed 5 minutes, the second step is allowed 5 minutes minus the time used by the first step, the third step is allowed 5 minutes minus the time used by the first and second steps, and so forth, regardless of any TIME parameter values on EXEC statements in the procedure.
