I have a joblib st and steplib st in my job. If the path specified in the steplib doesn't exist is the job takes the path from the joblib?

Job1 Job .........
joblib dd dsn = path1.bask1
dd dsn = path2.bask2
steplib dd dsn = steppath1.bask1
step1 exec pgm = prog1
step2 exec pgm = prog2

In the above example if the path specified in the prog1 doesn't exist in the steplib path is it taken from the joblibpath (path1.bask1)? Rolling Eyes

I know that steplib overrides joblib. My doubt is that if the specified path doesn't exist in the steplib is it go for a joblib.

I gave both joblib and steplib for the step. Razz

Coolman,

Accodring to baskar he has specified both JOBLIB and STEPLIB. If the load module is not found in the STEPLIB I am afraid the job is going to abend with S806.

In other words when a STEPLIB is provided the JOBLIB is ignored.

Baskar,

Did you check if your step ran successfully when the loadmodule is absent in the STEPLIB and present in the JOBLIB.

Baskar

Ask you friend to look into the URL provided by kolusu. That should fix his doubts.

Brian,
You are right. I guess, It was an oversight.

Baskkarsubbian,
Did you go through the manual that Kolusu had provided, BTW, why don't you run a test job to clarify it with your friend. You can then prove that you are right.

Cheers,
Coolman.

Thanks for the clarifications

Before to prove to my friend I would like to confirm that's why I put a query in the forum.

Once again Thanks
