Description

The JCL_LIBRARY option specifies the JCL library ddname allocations.

JCL libraries are referred to by Universal Controller z/OS task definitions by ddname and member name for batch job submission.

You can JCL_LIBRARY multiple times for the same ddname. All the data sets specified on the JCL_LIBRARY options are concatenated on the ddname in the order read.

Value

The value is a ddname followed by a comma-seperated list of one or more data set names to allocate to the ddname. The data sets are concatenated on the ddname in the order listed.

There is no default value.

Examples

jcl_library    prod,sys1.jcl.cntl,sys2.jcl.cntl

This example illustrate two data sets being allocated to ddname PROD.

sys1.jcl.cntl will be first in the concatenation since it is first in the data set list.


jcl_library  prod,sys1.jcl.cntl
jcl_library  prod,sys2.jcl.cntl
jcl_library  "test, test1.jcl.cntl, +
                          test2.jcl.cntl, +
                          test3.jcl.cntl"

This example illustrates two ddnames being allocated, PROD and TEST.

  • The PROD ddname will have data sets sys1.jcl.cntl and sys2.jcl.cntl allocated in that order.
  • The TEST ddname will have test1.jcl.cntl, test2.jcl.cntl, test3.jcl.cntl allocated in that order.
