For what purpose steplib and joblib are used ?..

Answer / Agrita Bisht

In JCL, STEPLIB (STEP Library) is a collection of predefined steps that can be used to perform common tasks like data transfer, sorting, and printing. Joblib (job library) is a collection of jobs that can be easily reused in multiple job streams or scheduled through the same JES (Job Entry Subsystem). Both STEPLIB and Joblib help reduce the amount of code required for creating and managing jobs.
