1) you can use INCLUDE MEMBER as below
//JCLLIB ORDER=<Give the PDS name of the member you want to
include>
//INCLUDE MEMBER=<Give the member name here>
2> SPOOL is the place where you can see the status after
executing the job
3>To direct the output of a jobstep to spool we need to
give
//SYSPRINT DD SYSYOUT=*
//SYSOUT DD SYSOUT=*

i have 3 lines of jcl without jobcard.these 3 lines are
repetitively used by many members.
for reusability point of view these 3 lines are copied
according to the user.for write these 3 lines in member of
a pds.for copying
we write
//jobcard
// include membername
//sysin dd *

Answer / praveen bejjanki
1) Not sure what a JCL segment in a job
2) Spool is the place where we will see the status of the
submitted job. generally SDSF or IOF will be the spool.
SPOOL - Simultaneous Pheriperal Operation Online.
3) To direct the output of a jobstep to spool:
The DD stmt of the jobstep should be like below
//DDname DD sysout=*
But most of the people think like if we give like
//SYSPRINT DD SYSYOUT=*
//SYSOUT DD SYSOUT=*
output will be routed to spool which is wrong.
But sysprint DD stmt is used to route all the
messages,stmts generated by the utility(cobol program) to
be printed in spool
& sysout is used for displaying the Display stmts in cobol
program.
I hope this might give a clear picture of what you are
