Press F1 - or whatever key your help is assigned to and read the information. Remember that a library is a PDS; a type of LIBRARY is a specific type of PDS but it is still a PDS

Have you tried the fine manual?
For example, the answer to the LIBRARY question is DSNTYPE, which is well documented.

Did you try coding DSNTYPE=LIBRARY in the JCL and check it?

Right, I've done a quick look in the JCL manual (link at top of page), browsed the table of contents, clicked on LIKE. Suggest you do the same. You may think that as an 'old hand' I know these things - sorry but I have never heard of LIKE as a JCL parameter before. You learn by looking.
