JCLLIB is the operation keyword on a jcl statement used to identify a Catalogued procedure library or INCLUDE library.

JCLLIB is user defined library whereas PROCLIB is a system library. Check this link

JCLLIB is the user defined library for the cataloged PROCs.
whereas, PROCLIB is the system defined library for the cataloged PROCs. |

The JCLLIB statement allows you to code and use procedures and INCLUDE groups in a private library without the need to use system procedure libraries. You can code only one JCLLIB statement per job.
Further, JCLLIB is analogous to a JOBLIB JCL statement. Instead of pointing to a load library that remains active for the length of the JOB, a JCLLIB statement points to an alternative JCL library to be used for the length of the JOB. All cataloged procedures referenced in a JOB are searched for in the JOB's JCLLIB. If a JCLLIB isn't provided, the default JCL library is searched. And

Is there an alternative to JCL lib statement. Anything similar to steplib statement, which we dont need to specify at the top of the JCL but, can be specified just after calling the PROC. |

Unfortunately not.

A JCLLIB statement:
Must appear after the JOB statement and before the first EXEC statement in the job.
Must appear before any INCLUDE statement.
Must not appear within an INCLUDE group.

Even if yes, what purpose will that serve to you? If you tell us what do you want to accomplish there can be some alternative solution(s). |

Hi Anuj,
Its just that i wanted to make it most convinient for the user to use this Proc. Having something which works similar to STEPLIB will make sure that i can have a single set of statements to call and make use of the PROC. Now, user will have to include this JCLLIB statement at top of the main JCL. Moreover, the main JCL may be having many other Procs and unnecessarily system will search this library before going to the system catlg. |

Why not contact your site support group and have the procedure added to the application procedure library? Many sites have a PROCLIB that is defined within the system for automatic resolution, which is used for application procedures.

Yeah, right. The system uses the system catalog to find the files your JCL references, before ever searching a library for a procedure. System catalog is a specific term with a specific meaning -- either use it correctly, learn what it means, or don't use the term to prevent misunderstandings by your non-standard use of a very specific term. |

If what you are providing is that important (or helpful) it should be moved to the system libraries.
If not, that is why you have JCLLIB, PROCLIB statements to enable users to access resources that are not site accepted. |

I don't get what exactly you mean -- may be catalog procedures can be your choice  |
