What is a PROC? What is the difference between an instream and a catalogued PROC?
PROC stands for procedure. It is 'canned' JCL invoked by a PROC statement. An instream PROC is presented within the JCL; a catalogued PROC is referenced from a proclib partitioned dataset.

as said already, proc is pre-definened program which isused for more than one times. it is like functions in C,C++,.. instream proc means that it is coded in jcl itself,so we can use these codes as many times we want, but within that JCL. whereas cataloged proc is defined outside, we can call to any times by any JCL

As per my knowledge PROC is a pre-written statement and can be used in more than one one program.Because as it is previously tested so when it is used in any program in gives minimun of error.

PROC means its procedures in mainframes We are normally using two types of procedures Instream procedures only used for calling perticular procedure in a different steps in a particular job itself But in the catalog procedure we will be able to call the perticular procedure in any location at any time unlike instream procedures Also here normally in JCL we can use JOB statement first then EXEC last but in catalog procedure it is reverse order.

PROC : It is nothing but a procedure that we used in the JCL . Instream procedure means it will be implicit with in the JCL statements like PERFORM statements in COBOL (means) - > calling the same procedure for different inputs . Catalog procedure means defined explcitily defined as memeber of PDS and it is simalar to the CALL statements in COBOL we have to excute these procedures as in the same way in the JCL but for Catalog proc shld not end with PEND statements .
