Is there an Industry standard or preference between using the "set" command (in-stream) or using procedures (procs) for making symbolic

There is no industry standard that I know of. But in the 20 years of working on mainframes, I have only seen a few JCL that actually use set commands. Typically these are sent with software installs; the vast majority are procs.

Thanks Big Guy! As the old Norwegian Proverb states: "Make deft use of what you learn to the degree you can gather."
