Could anyone pls explain about the user defined procedures? Where we can use and what is the difference between this and the remaining procs (Instream and Catalogue).
Instream procs are a proc defined in the jcl with PROC/PEND statements. These are used when you want to repeat a single step many times with minor variations.
Catalog/include procs are more global in scope and are usually meant to be called by anyone. An example of these are assemble/linkedits. By changing the source & loadlibs and providing a member, nearly any program can be assembled without needing to know all the system library names.
