All you JCL gurus, two questions regarding overriding a load library in a
PROC such as STEPLIB:

1. If a PROC has something like

//STEPLIB  DD   DSN=whatever...
//         DD   DSN=blah...

And you want to override it to a single load library, is there a preferred
way to do so? Coding

//PSTEP.STEPLIB DD DSN=foo...

Gives you an allocation of blah concatenated behind foo.

I can solve it with

//PSTEP.STEPLIB DD DSN=foo...
//            DD DSN=foo...

But that seems like kind of a kludge.

2. If a PROC has a DD statement and you want to make it go away and "not
exist" how do you do that? No, overriding it to DUMMY doesn't work -- leads
to S2013s or somesuch if it is STEPLIB. Again, I can solve it by overriding
it to an irrelevant load library, but that seems kind of kludge also. Is
there a preferred method?
