The statement:
//FILE DD DUMMY,DSN=WHAT.EVER,DISP=OLD
is an perfectly acceptable statement, it will be scanned for syntax and
result in a nullfile
I have in the past had procs such as
//MYPROC PROC DUMMA='',DUMMB='DUMMY,'
//FILEA DD &DUMMA.DSN=FILE.A,DISP=(NEW,PASS),........
//FILEB DD &DUMMB.DSN=FILE.B,DISP=(NEW,PASS),........
By changing the values of DUMMA and DUMMB files can be dummied out
