There ougnt to be an extended syntax, such as: //refdd DD sysxxx=*.jobstep.procstep.subprocstep.subsub ... .ddname
BTW, what's the syntax by which a procstep can refer to a data set passed from an earlier procstep? Such as //MAKE PROC //C EXEC PGM=COMPILER,... //SYSPUNCH DD DISP=(,PASS), ... //L EXEC PGM=IEWL //SYSLIN DD DISP=(OLD,PASS),DSN=*.????.C.SYSPUNCH It seems the author of the PROC needs to know, but can't know, the user's job step name to code as the ????.
