Cataloged procedures

A procedure that you catalog in a library is called a cataloged procedure.

A cataloged procedure may consist of these JCL statements: CNTL, comment, DD, ENDCNTL, EXEC, IF/THEN/ELSE/ENDIF, INCLUDE, OUTPUT JCL, and SET. Optionally, a cataloged procedure can begin with a PROC statement and end with a PEND statement. If coded, PROC must be the first statement in the procedure.
