Hi all

Is there any way to override the PARM parameter in the Step of the PROC from Job.

Thanks
Kavi

kavi,

Define the parm as symbolic in the proc and override it in the jcl

ex:

Here is PM is the symbolic parm you want to override

Thanks Kolusu it works.
If suppose i already passed parm in the Proc step without symbolic parameter, is there any way to override it from JCL.

I think the op just wants a straight PARM override. Code it with PARM.<procstepname>='<override value'. Here's an example:

One oversight in a bazillion posts, and you're going to apologize? Totally unnecessary. Even Michael Jordan missed a shot now and then...

Thank You
