Maybe. I had a similar problem a few years ago, but in my case, I had a PROC
that was used in some jobs. I don't remember if I tried using the EXPORT

The JCL Ref. contains a section:
Using symbols in started task JCL
Example: using JCL symbols

How do I do that in a PROC where the SETs are implicit in the PROC statement,
which is the very first statement?
//procname PROC PAR
ame PROC PARM1=value,PARM2=value

OK, I am making some progress. I got past the JCL error by coding a bunch of
dummy // SET FOO=&PARM1 statements.
I am not getting errors from the program. I can see that no symbol
substitution has been done.
Is there any restriction on DD *,SYMBOLS in a started PROC?

How do you have your parms set in the PARMDD input?
I was told each parm needs to be on a separate line. Not sure how accurate
that
is.
Have you tried individual lines?
Which way is your input coded?
//MYDDNAME DD
Try doing each one on one line
