I am fairly sure that PROC parameters and SET variables are resolved by the Converter phase. In JES2, this phase is done either immediately after the job is read in or, if TYPRUN=JCLHOLD, when the job is released. I don't know JES3. Oh, if you do a /*XMIT to route the entire job (as in it is before the JOB card), then I think it is done on the receiving JES system.
