hi ramana,

proclib shows an system defined library for procs
and jcllib shows an user defined procedure library for procs...it also gives the order in which private libraries are to be searched...

regards,
sathish

JCLLIB is a JCL parameter that defines the search order of external private libraries to the job. See more information here:

PROCLIB is not a JCL parameter.

JCLLIB is the free, IBM provided JCL keyword that comes as part of Job Control Language (JCL).
PROCLIB is an extra cost product from Computer Associates that I believe is named CA-EZPROC or something like this.

hi frnd,
plz visit the previous post b4 u post ur new query.. any way JCLLIB is used only on MVS/ESA Version 4 JES2 systems or higher.
>>it is used to identify a private lib from which include groups and JCL procedures are to be retrieved.
>>> only one JCLLIB statement is permitted.

>>> it is used for procedures only.

As per Superk the PROCLIB is not a JCL Parameter.

JCLLIB : Identifies the libraries that the system will search for 1.INCLUDES groups 2. Procedures named in EXEC statement

PROCLIB : a catalogued PROC is referenced from a proclib partitioned dataset. It is system defined library
