I can't decide whether the author of the original RFE overlooked a requirement,
perhaps assuming it was implicit, or IBM shirked the implementation. There
ougnt to be an extended syntax, such as:
//refdd DD sysxxx=*.jobstep.procstep.subprocstep.subsub ... .ddname
BTW, what's the syntax by which a procstep can refer to a data set passed from
an earlier procstep? Such as
//MAKE PROC
//C EXEC PGM=COMPILER,...
//SYSPUNCH DD DISP=(,PASS),
...
//L EXEC PGM=IEWL
//SYSLIN DD DISP=(OLD,PASS),DSN=*.????.C.SYSPUNCH
It seems the author of the PROC needs to know, but can't know, the
user's job step name to code as the ????.
What am I missing?
