Hi,

I have coded JCL like below which calls the PROC NEWWREXX



NEWWREXX PROC coded like below (Which is executing another PROC REXXEXE1)



REXXEXE1 coded like below



Now, I wanted change this PARM='NEWREXX' to PARM='UPDREXX'. I should overwrite this PARM value from JCL and should not edit above two PROC. Is that possible?
I have tried with:

PARM.REX01#06='UPDREXX' --> its is fine for first level PROC but in my case i have two level PROC.

Please help me out on this.

PS: I have posted the sample code here instead of Production code. The reason for calling the second level PROC is, Its a common PROC will process the DATA wise information. The first level PROC will extract the data from DB2 and call the second level PROC for processing.

Multi layer PRCS should only be used by people who know what they are doing when they construct PROCS for inclusion by other PROCS.

They can be real pigs to override and/or restart.

It's much better to use INCLUDE MEMBER=XXXXXX, when IBM allowed nested proc's they never really thought about the consequences...
