Which loadlib will be used.

Hi,

If in the JCL, we have concatenated 3-4 loadlibs in JOBLIB parameter.
When the JCL gets submitted , then how can we check from which loadlib the program was picked up?

Example

DSLIST for above dataset and use M membername

You will find where your member is.

if you run xpeditor in batch
you will see it also......

Hi Dick,

I checked the JCLMESSAGES but not able to figure out which loadlib was used by the program.

jcl message[s] will not tell because at the time the load takes place JCL is out of the show

xpeditor has its own message output listing(s)

To reiterate enrico's ORIGINAL reply to your post, there is no way to determine from the JCL messages which load llibrary was used to retrieve a particular program -- if any of them were.

Ok... Thanks Robert.

Hello,

I should know better, but why does it matter which library the module was loaded from? It will always be the library named earlier in the concatenation list. If the module was in all 3 in your example, it will be loaded from the first dataset. . .

Keep in mind the the module also may have been loaded from a library not in the JOBLIB concatenation. . .

I don't know if it is a help for what you want, but with Cobol I'd always do this, "at the top" of the program (in a sub-program, ensure it only executes once :-) ).
