Procedure type

Determines whether the Batch Edit is to run an in-stream procedure or a cataloged procedure:

2. Cataloged: The Batch Edit executes the procedure specified in the REXX procedure data set name and member fields.

Select this option, if you selected "Cataloged" for Procedure type and you want to edit the procedure before the JCL is generated.
