referbacks in Mainframe express(jcl)

[djujuhl]

i know that this is a cobol forum, but my question is about jcl. i've looked high and low hopefully someone can help

how do you code a referback to an exec statement in Mainframe express.

this is an example of the jcl step that i want to reuse

//step1 exec pgm=mngrprt
//master dd dsn=master,disp=old
//invrpt dd sysout=a

Puth JCL for that step in a PROC, then simply execute the PROC as many times as you want in the jobstream. For example, if you wanted to compile 10 program consecutively, you would simply execute the compile PROC 10 times, with a parameter that contains the program name.
