Answer / shakila vinayagam

It is a DD (Data definition) statement, and it specifies
where
the program (which is specified in EXEC statement)
exists.
It is applicable to all job steps in that job. It
cannot be used
in cataloged procedures.

Syntax -> //JOBLIB DD DSN=dataset

EXAMPLE JCL ->

//MYJOB JOB (E343),'KRISHNA'
//JOBLIB DD
DSN=SE.TEST.LOADLIB,DISP=SHR <--- Attention
//STEP1 EXEC PGM=COBPROG


Immediately following the JOB statement is
the JOBLIB DD
statement. This is used to specify the
location of the
program that is to be executed.

Answer / tina

programs to be executed.
You can have any no. of LOADLIBS.

Answer / pankaj thakur

Joblib specifies the location of program for all the steps
used within the JCL.In a single Job there can be 255 steps
coded at a single time.

If in a particular step we use the steplib statement then
that steplib statement overrides the joblib statement.

Answer / kaladhar

IT SPECIFIES THE LOADLIB IN WHICH THE PROGRAM LOADMODULES
OF ALL THE STEPS ARE SEARCHED.
JOBLIB MUST IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWS JOB STATEMENT.

Answer / selvarani ajeeth

Shakila ,I just need to add some points,
We can gie any number of loads in the joblib.
The precedence will be taken from the top to bottom.If the
program load is not found in the first PDS ,it will be
taken from the next.STEPLIB overrides JOBLIB statement.

Describe the EXEC statement, its meaning, syntax and keywords?
