joblib refers to control libe member

Linda Maria Conner · Posted: Thu May 01, 2008 10:06 pm

Sorry, somehow part of what I wanted to ask posted before I was thru
know this was done at a shop I worked at before and I want to do it where I am now. Instead of
//JOBLIB DD DSN=SOMELIBE,DISP=SHR
// DD DSN=SOMELIB2,DISP=SHR
// DD DSN=SOMELIB3,DISP=SHR

They had the JOBLIB statement referring to a single member, on a "control library" (a library where, e.g., sort control statements, IDCAMS control statements and such also resided) and, in that control libe member you would have
//JOBLIB DD DSN=SOMELIBE,DISP=SHR
// DD DSN=SOMELIB2,DISP=SHR
// DD DSN=SOMELIB3,DISP=SHR

I do not recall if this needed a JCLLIB, or what - I know there were no SET statements, it was just one statement whatever it was
Can someone tell me how to code this?

Hello Linda,

JOBLIB refers to one or more load libraries, not control info for sorts, utilities, etc. Member names are not used on JOBLIB.

Could you be thinking of something like the following:

Playing off of Doug's post, we use the following:

Seems to be like it was done without an INCLUDE (where I worked before) but maybe not - in any case, I think Jack's solution will work. Thanks very much

Hi Linda,

Welcome. Doug's solution will work too; they're variations. Let us know how it worked out.
