Syntax

A PROC statement consists of the characters // in columns 1
and 2 and four fields: name, operation (PROC), parameter, and comments. Note: A PROC statement is optional in a cataloged
procedure.
Multiple parameters: When more than one parameter is coded, separate parameters by commas. For example, //P1 PROC PARM1=OLD,PARM2=222001. Special characters: When a parameter value contains special characters, enclose the value in apostrophes. The enclosing apostrophes are not considered part of the value. For example, //P2 PROC PARM3='3400-6'. Code each apostrophe that is part of a value as two consecutive apostrophes. For example, //P3 PROC PARM4=‘O’‘DAY’. However, if the symbolic parameter is enclosed within a matched pair of parentheses, you do not need to enclose the parentheses in apostrophes. Continuation onto another statement: End each statement
with a comma after a complete parameter. For example:
