Killing Off Symbolic JCL Parameter
I am changing a PROC so that DEFAULT SYMBOLIC PRDHLQ=X.YYY. All, I am changing a PROC so that DEFAULT SYMBOLIC PRDHLQ=X.YYY.ZZ is no longer necessary. Unfortunately, many JCL members referencde the PROC and supply override values for PRDHLQ=. I want to change the PROC without having to change the JCL right now. I already tried to plug the symbolic into a PARM //STEP EXEC PGM=IEFBR14,PARM=HLQPARM PRO/JCL says that the override PARAMETER needs to be QUOTED. This would require changing the JCL. Any other ideas on how to burn off the ORPHANED SYMBOLIC?

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.
