Procs are stored procedures that are interpreted by the PROC processor. Procs are defined as PQ items in the Master Dictionary and often as items in a user’s Proc library. System Procs are stored in a global file, PROCLIB. The Master Dictionary contains a pointer to the PROCLIB file and each Proc points to an item in that file.
The CT Proc in the Master Dictionary is shown below:
|
CT 001 PQ 002 (PROCLIB CT) |
