step lib is used only for search priority.
for example, you have PGM1 in steplib and another same named PGM1 in the system lib, if you specify the step lib PGM1 in step lib gets run, if you do not specify the step lib the PGM1 in the system lib gets run.

Hello,

What you say is true, but how does it apply/relate to the discussion about joblib versus steplib?

Sorry Guys

For misundrestanding the concept and for misleading you people, I am really very sorry for this !!!!!! :O)

True It only check in STEPLIB Library then goes to SYS1.LINKLIB not in JOBLIB Library in case JCL has STEPLIB & JOBLIB..

Sorryyy.....
