Answer / saroja kolli

Yes. We can have only steplib without a joblib.

But in such case, if the Job contains several steps then in
everystep of the job STEPLIB should be mentioned.

STEPLIB refers to the step in which it is mentioned and the
JOBLIB refers to all the steps in the job.

When STEPLIB and the JOBLIB both are mentioned then STEPLIb
overrides JOBLIB.

Answer / manikandan.d

yes job have oly steplib but its effective oly for
perticular step...steplib placed immediate after the exec
step statement

Answer / kalaimani

exactly previous answers are correct. and also if no
steplib is providied for one particular jobstep, then it
wil take from joblib. it is not mandatory to give steplib.

Answer / pankaj.g

Hi Manikandan.d,

Your answer is correct but we can put Steplib anywhere in
the step. It is not necessary to put the steplib immediate
after Exec step.

Correct me if I am wrong?

Answer / deepak thamarasseri

Yes,we can code Steplib and Joblib in the same code.If we
are coding both,STEPLIB overrides the JOBLIB statement.
