Now that we've been on z/OS for a few weeks I feel to need to ask a question that has annoyed me since I started working on z/OS two years ago. Instream datasets are good. Why are they not supported inside of procs? Is there a technical reason, or is it just "because"? We use procs for almost all of our production jobs, with many steps that could take advantage of instream datasets if not for this restriction.
