JCL MOCK TEST IV

Q 1 - PROC1 is a in-stream procedure in a JCL and with this name PROC1 one catalog
procedure exists, then which procedure will be invoked - catalog or in-stream?

//TXXXXX JOB ,, NOTIFY = &SYSUID


// JCLLIB ORDER = (XXXXX.PROCLIB)
//STEP1 EXEC PROC1
//PROC1 PROC
//STEP1 EXEC PGM = IEFBR14
//DD1 DD DSN = TXXXXX.TEST, SPACE = (TRK,(1,1)),
