********************************* TOP OF DATA **********************************
ICH70001I RALEY LAST ACCESS AT 11:13:24 ON TUESDAY, MARCH 13, 2007
IEF236I ALLOC. FOR RALEYPOL BINDOZ
IEF237I E1BD ALLOCATED TO STEPLIB
IEF237I JES2 ALLOCATED TO SYSTSPRT
IEF237I JES2 ALLOCATED TO SYSPRINT
IEF237I JES2 ALLOCATED TO SYSUDUMP
IEF237I JES2 ALLOCATED TO SYSTSIN

SYS1.UDB.SDSNLOAD is not in the catlog which I can see DATASET. How system setup to resolve the allocate to steplib to E1BD ?
In another catlog ? Or some setup will resolve this steplib of IKJEFT01? Or some existing catlog for all steplib?

unless someone has made a boo-boo you should not need a steplib - the load library will be in the default concatenation

There is nothing wrong with having STEPLIB in a TSO batch job. How did you determine that the data set was not cataloged? 3.4? Edit or Browse? Did you use quotes on the name if edit?

Sorry~what 'boo-boo' means ? upgrade system ?

semigeezer,

It's just not in the catlog I am using.

And today I found another strange thing:
I submit the job using different class,then one of the job class is OK, other comes back a 'jcl error'

'boo-boo' slang/colloquialism for error or mistake

1) The STEPLIB is probably needed for a DB2 call that will be made in the batch TSO run. SPUFI perhaps?

2) The SYS1. datasets are usually in the master catalog. You may be prevented from listing the catalog directly by a security package.

3) There are system exits for controlling what JOBCLASS users may submit into. These may be active in your shop.

I use steplib with ikjeft01 all the time to test programs that are at newer or older levels than the system level, to test programs I am writing which would not be in linklist/lpa, to override individual load modules or get to different development versions. I think it is a little unreasonable to make a blanket statement that a practice is a bad idea based only on guesses about what a person's job is or what their environment looks like. I don't know the answer to the original question, but lets not just dismiss it out of hand because of what we *think* the original poster wants to do.
