Answer / sukumar

Joblib is a default load library for all the jobsteps

JOBLIB DD statement specifies the private library that the
system needs to search to obtain the program named in each
of the EXEC statements PGM parameters. Only if the program
is not found in the private, the system searches in the
system libraries.

Jcllib is the loadlib that contains cataloged procedures

JCLLIB statement species the private library that the system
needs to search to obtain
(a) the procedures (PROCS) named in the EXEC statement
(b) the Groups of JCL statements (called INCLUDE groups)
named on any INCLUDE statements

Answer / manojkumar sivakumar

JCLLIB is used with either OS/390 or MVS/ESA Version 4 or
higher JES2 or JES3 systems, to identify a private library
or a system library from which INCLUDE groups and JCL
procedures are to be retrieved. The order in which the
library names appear on the JCLLIB statement is the order
in which they are searched for any JCL procedures (PROCs)
and INCLUDE groups referenced by this job.

The JOBLIB DD statement is used to identify a program
library to search first when attempting to locate programs
executed during the job's life. The JOBLIB must be placed
after the JOB statement and before the first EXEC statement
in the job. More than one program library can be
concatenated after the first one on a JOBLIB.
