RE: what is the difference between PROC and PGM?

Proc is the name which begins the procedure. It is mandatory when you go for a procedure you have to give proc.

Pgm is the name of the program you want to execute. Default Pgm's for ex. are sort idcams iebcopy

Pgm is a program coded in COBOL(main language) DB2

PGM could be inbuilt also such as IDCAMS IEFBR14 and many more
