Differentiate between the joblib and the steplib statements?



Differentiate between the joblib and the steplib statements?..

Answer / Ujjwal Mishra

`JOBLIB` is a JCL card that specifies a library list for the entire job. It's used to define libraries needed by all steps in the job. On the other hand, `STEPLIB` is a JCL statement within a step and it defines libraries only for the specific step. If both `JOBLIB` and `STEPLIB` are specified for a step, the step's library list will be the union of both.
