Except move is propogate a copy. CA IDEAL has MOVE A TO B and SET B = A
So write a PROC that puts INPUT with SYSUT1 and OUTPUT with SYSUT2.
I even took this a step further and had OUTPUT get deleted first before
AMATERSE.

Is there a problem with that? I've done it regularly; about half
the time. And over 90% with //SYSUT1 DD DATA. Easier to read
if other DD statements are closer to EXEC.

Don't forget to compress the PDS frequently, or make it a PDSE.
Once we had hour long queues for a compile, so I wrote a CLIST to
execute the compile and link steps, took about 3 minutes.

Hi Fred,
The interpretation of JCL occurs before the execution starts. Hence,
your result.
If you were to SUBMIT your JCL to the internal reader in STEP02 (rather
than trying to execute the BKUP Cataloged Procedure), the new job would
read the updated BKUP PROC.

No. The interpreter already read the jcl at translation time.

Hello,
I would like to build a JCL batch job called BACKUPS, that does the following:
1) STEP01
Create a JCL proc in MYLIB.PROCLIB(BKUP)
2) STEP02
Execute the proc MYLIB.PROCLIB(BKUP)
My testing finds that STEP02 runs the proc in MYLIB.PROCLIB(BKUP) that was
built prior to submitting job
