Our app people use nested procs extensively. They have adopted a style of having a proc symbolic for every procstep of the form
//STEP0123 EXEC PGM=whatever,COND=&COND0123 Besides the number and naming of symbolics, the down side of this was revealed when some software of mine was implemented to condition the execution of some steps. The default had been COND0123='(0,NE)'. My software gave three condition codes: 0=run the step(s), 1=don't run the steps, 2=setup fubar so run the steps. Every default symbolic had to be changed. I leave it as an exercise to the reader to determine the new default symbolic so downstream steps run if one of the test steps gives cc=2. Of course someone had the bright idea to mix the COND technique with the IF/THEN/ELSE technique. SO we have //STEP0122 EXEC PROC=myproc,COND=&COND0122 // IF (STEP0122.procstep.RC NE 1) THEN //STEP0123 EXEC PGM=whatever,COND=&COND0123 // ENDIF Aaaaaarrrrgggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhh! At least I am not the primary support or owner of this dog's breakfast.
