I am changing a PROC so that DEFAULT SYMBOLIC PRDHLQ=XXXXX.YYY.= All,=0A=0AI am changing a PROC so that DEFAULT SYMBOLIC PRDHLQ=3DXXXXX.YYY.= ZZ is no longer necessary.=A0 Unfortunately, many JCL members referencde=A0= the PROC and supply override values for=A0PRDHLQ=3D.=A0 I want to change th= e PROC without having to change the JCL right now.=0A=0AI already tried to = plug the symbolic into a PARM=0A=0A//STEP=A0 EXEC PGM=3DIEFBR14,PARM=3D&HLQ= PARM=0A=0APRO/JCL says that the override PARAMETER needs to be QUOTED.=A0 T= his would require changing the JCL.=A0 =0A=0AAny other ideas on how to burn= off the ORPHANED SYMBOLIC?=0A=0AThanks,=0A=0AMike Kovach <SNIPPAGE> Put in an IEFBR14 step as the first thing in the proc. I would use COND=ONLY for this step. Then you can substitute all the parms into the PARM= string. This allows this step to eat the unwanted/needed parms while not executing. And should an ABEND occur prior, this step should still do nothing.
