Hi,

Can we have a JCLLIB statement pointing to a LOAD library?

Thanks,
Nischal

19.1.7 Considerations for Using the JCLLIB Statement.

yes, i have gone through the manual and some of the queries relating to JCLLIB on this forum. And i'm quite familiar with the way JCLLIB works.

But i have a requirement to test the ABENDAID, where in i have to point JCLLIB to a LOAD library. But when i recompile the code in CHANGEMAN i'm getting the error ” Unauthorized use of the JCLLIB”.
Is there anything you can help me with to resolve this error..

thanks for your answers.

I have this error resolved by pointing the STEPLIB statement to the LOAD library.

But the requirement is the I have to point it to a JCLLIB to check if it works. I'm quite sure that it doesnt. I wanted the confirmation so that i could proceed.

Thanks,
Nischal

there is a bit of misunderstanding around here between
JCLLIB statement which is JCL statement like JOB,DD,EXEC,...

and the possible use of jcllib as a ddname,
IIRC the only <reserved> ddname are JOBCAT,STEPCAT,JOBLIB,STEPLIB

nobody/nothing prevents using JCLLIB as a ddname

This really sounds to me like it's more of an issue for Compuware to address.

I agree with you Anuj. That is how i used to use JCLLIB till now. But the requirement is from the Client to point it to a LOAD lib. So i couldnt do much with that.

So i did a recompilation of a source code in the Changeman and edited the Changeman JCL to look like below. JCLLIB statement is pointing to the Load library.

===> //NR151FZ JOB (ABCD,XXXX,9999,9999),________
===> // NOTIFY=NR151F,SCHENV=CMN@CMNDT3E________________________________
===> //ESYLIB JCLLIB ORDER=(TES1.TEST.LOAD)____________________
===> //*________________________________________________________________

Press ENTER to process; Enter END command to exit.

Unauthorized use of the JCLLIB, EXEC, or INCLUDE JCL statements.

This is the error message which pops up when i hit enter>>"Unauthorized use of the JCLLIB, EXEC, or INCLUDE JCL statements".

I also think that this should be addressed to the Changeman administrator. But i'm not quite sure.

Thanks

Your client is setting requirement without knowing what he/she is talking about

reread my previous post about the difference between a JCL statement and a ddname

as You already discovered
You cannot use a load library as a component of the JCLLIB construct,
but
You can use a JCLLIB ddname to point to a load library

it would be wiser for all the people involved to reread the docs,
product related and JCL related ( guide and reference )

Use a STEPLIB or JOBLIB to point at a special load library for testing.

Maybe they want you to build a new JCL stream with a STEPLIB and put that into the JCLLIB?
