Enabling JOBLIB DD and STEPLIB DD Processing

These statements specify directories that will be searched for the programs named in EXEC statements.

To enable JOBLIB/STEPLIB processing do the following:

  1. Create a dynamic PDS that represents each of the PC or UNIX subdirectories where your .gnt and .int files will reside. We recommend that you segregate .gnt and .int files into different subdirectories.
  2. Execute your JCL using JOBLIB and/or STEPLIB statements that reference the subdirectories you created in STEP1. The search order will be STEPLIB, JOBLIB, then the path specified in the JES Program Path field on the JCL > General tab in Enterprise Server.

If the partitioned data set referenced in a particular STEPLIB or JOBLIB statement exists as a catalog entry, the DD is allocated. Where there are multiple partitioned data sets referenced in a STEPLIB or JOBLIB concatenation, only those data sets that exist are mapped as part of the JOBLIB or STEPLIB concatenation.

Any job that has a STEPLIB and/or JOBLIB statement continues to run unmodified.
