Referback condition is used in JCL to refer or use a parameter from a previous step. Say we want to use the dataset from the prev step then we give the syntax-
 dsn=*.stepname.ddname
and if we want to refer to a prev procedure then syntax is-
dsn=*.stepname.procstepname.ddname
we can also referback a pgm name as well and any parameter of a dd statement.
