Problem:

When adding PRC and JCL files to our Mainframe Express project we are getting errors saying  "procedure not found". Why is this happening?

Resolution:

Procedure files, those with a .PRC file extension, are called from JCL files. As these types of files are added to a Mainframe Express project, we do a JCL scan on them trying to resolve all the PROC and INCLUDE statements.

It is always best to first add the .PRC files and then the .JCL files to the project. If you are defining your own PROCLIB PDS's with JCLLIB statements, then add the .PRC files to their appropriate PDS so they will be found by the JCL scan. If you are letting Mainframe Express default to use its own PROCLIB, then it will create a default MFE.PROCLIB.Lnn (a number from 1 to 99) and when the .JCL files are added to the project, we will find the PRC files in that PDS.
