Hello,

I have the following problem.

In a Proc PROCA there are 10 steps.This proc is called by 5 different Jcls
by passing a parameter to the proc PROCA.Based on this parameter only one step among the first five steps should be executed and all the steps starting from step 6 should be executed for a given JCL.
How to check the content of a parameter inside a PROC?
EX:
Inside JCLA:
//KKKK EXEC PROCA,prov=EP000
=================
Inside the proc:

//PROCA prov=some default value
//*Now, if prov=EP000,then step1 should be executed ENDIF
//*IF prov=CAP00,then step 2 should be executed ENDIF

//*IF prov=BAP00,then step 5 should be executed ENDIF
//*remaining steps in the proc starting from STEP6.



Thanks for your time.

The first step of the PROC needs to be a program that is passed the value of the parameter PROV, interrogates its value, and sets the RETURN-CODE for that step as a result (probably using a value of 1 to 5).

The other steps can than check for the RETURN-CODE value from STEP1

Thanks,but Iam constarained to not write a new program and move into production.

All the thing I can do is edit this proc PROCA or at max edit all the five JCLS.

Thrivikram,

Introduce another symbolic parameter named stp in your proc. So every time you pass the symbolic value to PROV, pass the value to STP the step no you want to process. for ex: if you are passing a value of EP000, and you want to run step1 only then pass a value of '1' to the symbolic STP. we use that symbolic in the IF clause and run the desired step. Run this JCL and see how it works.
