Paul Gilmartin asks


If a single job calls the same procedure two or more times, how does
one make the "stepnames in [the] procedures called" unique?


One makes them unique by not having duplicate names among them, but something else is presumably intended here.

If one calls the same procedure in n different jobsteps the same <procstepname> values will of course be used on both cases, but the concatenation

<unique stepname>.<procstepname>

will be unique. This is in fact an old CS 101 question. Consider the two PL/I structure declarations

declare 1 current_month based,
 2 name . . . ,
 2 DOB . . . ,
 . . . ;

declare 1 year_to_date based,
 2 name . . . ,
 2 DOB . . . ,
 . . . ;

The "duplicate" identifiers 'name', 'DOB' are permitted because their fully qualified names, here

current_month.name
current_month.DOB
year_to_date.name
year_to_date.DOB

are all unique.
