Procedure Steps

A business system consists of procedures. During load module packaging, you select the procedure steps to be packaged in each load module from a list of all the procedure steps defined for the business system.

Character-based (block mode) applications, GUI applications, and client/server applications have no restrictions on the number of procedure steps that you can package in each load module.

Batch applications require that you package only one procedure step for a single load module. Procedure steps for batch applications are actually job steps in JCL.

Every procedure has a first procedure step. In one-step procedures, the first procedure step is the only procedure step. It is shown on the Dialog Flow Diagram (DLG) as a procedure line. In multiple-step procedures, the first procedure step is the procedure step that appears immediately beneath the procedure line on the Dialog Flow Diagram.
