Parameter field
- ORDER=(library[,library...])
- Specifies the names of the libraries to be searched. The maximum
number of libraries that may be specified is 15. You can specify private
libraries, system procedure libraries, and installation-defined procedure
libraries. The system searches the libraries in the order in which
you specify them, before it searches any unspecified default system
procedure libraries. The ORDER parameter can be specified
only once.
Do not specify a library that is a temporary data set (&&dsname), partitioned data set if a member name is included, or relative generation number for a GDG.
Note: GDGs are not supported.If only one library is listed in the search order, the parentheses are optional. For example://MYLIB JCLLIB ORDER=MY.PROC1Library names can be enclosed in apostrophes, for example://MYLIB JCLLIB ORDER=('MY.PROC1','MY.PROC2')You can continue the list of libraries to the following statement by breaking the statement after a comma in the list, and continuing the list on the next statement, beginning in any column from 4 to 16. For example://MYLIB JCLLIB ORDER=(MY.PROC1,MY.PROC2, // MY.PROC3)You can continue a parameter enclosed in quotation marks by breaking the parameter in column 71 and continuing the parameter in column 16 of the next statement.column 71 | //MYLIB JCLLIB ORDER=('MY.PROC1','MY.PROC2','MY.PROC3','MY.PROC4','MY // .PROC5') | column 16 - PROCLIB=ddname
For JES2:
Requests a JES2 procedure library by its DDname, as defined in the JES2 procedure used to initialize JES2 in the JES2 environment.
JES2 procedure libraries are defined by:- DD statements in the JES2 procedure used to initialize JES2
- PROCLIB definitions in the JES2 initialization file (HASPPARM)
- PROCLIB definitions added by the $ADD PROCLIB command
Typically, JES2 procedure library DDnames in the JES2 procedure are in the format PROCnn, where nn is either 00 or 1 or 2 decimal numbers 1-99. However, you can use any valid DDname as long as the name matches the DDname in the JES2 procedure or is specified in PROCLIB definitions. The system retrieves called cataloged procedures from the requested JES2 procedure library.
If you omit the PROCLIB parameter, or the DDname cannot be found in the procedure that started JES2, or the DDNAME cannot be found in any PROCLIB definitions, JES2 uses the procedure library specified on the PROC=nn parameter for one of the following JES2 initialization statements:
- JOBCLASS(v)
- for each job class.
- JOBCLASS(STC)
- for all started tasks.
- JOBCLASS(TSU)
- for all time-sharing tasks.
If the PROC=nn parameter is not defined on the appropriate initialization statement, or if it is not valid, JES2 uses the default library, PROC00. See z/OS JES2 Initialization and Tuning Guidefor information about creating the JES2 cataloged procedure and z/OS JES2 Initialization and Tuning Reference for information about defining JES2 initialization statements.
For JES3:Specifies the ddname for
the procedure library that the system is to search for cataloged procedures
called by EXEC statements in the job. The procedure libraries are
defined by DD statements in the JES3 procedure used to start JES3
and/or DYNALLOC statements in the JES3 initialization deck (JES3INxx).JES3 procedure libraries are defined by:- IATPLBxx
- PROCxx
Where xx is two alphanumeric/national
characters.If the procedure library requested
is not found, JES3 flushes the job before execution.If
you omit the PROCLIB parameter and no //*MAIN statement with a PROC=
parameter is present, the default depends on the source of the job.
If the job is submitted as a batch job, the default is IATPLBST. If
the job is submitted from an internal reader, the default can be another
procedure library as specified on the STANDARDS initialization statement
(the INTPROC, STCPROC, or TSOPROC parameters).See z/OS JES3 Initialization and Tuning Guide for
information about creating the JES3 cataloged procedure and z/OS JES3 Initialization and Tuning Reference for
information about JES3 initialization statements.
