The old OS/360 behavior for START was that the system generated a JOB card. 
Somewhere in the mists of time we acquired the ability to provide complete JCL 
including aShg1ah, but the old code is still there when starting a PROC. More 
specifically, what START for a PROC generates is something like

    Generated JOB card
    Generated EXEC PROC=name from START with keyword parameters from start
    Generated IEFRDER DD with parameters from START

Subject: location of JCL for started task

we have a PDS for job cards for started tasks, which reference our system 
proclib.
I have a started task that is executing, yet I can not find the actual JCL 
(Jobcard, etc). I can find the proc.
How can I find where the JCL is being read from?
thanks
Bill
