Considerations for using the JCLLIB statement

You can specify only one JCLLIB statement in a job.

The system and private libraries that you specify on the JCLLIB statement can contain both procedures and INCLUDE groups.

The private libraries that you specify on the JCLLIB statement must comply with the following rules:

The private library must be cataloged.
The private library must be accessible to the job. The library must be permanently resident and online.
The JCLLIB data set cannot be a password-protected data set.
The job must have read access to any system or private libraries specified on JCLLIB.
The private library must have the same data set attributes as a system library, which are:
- Logical record length of 80 bytes (LRECL=80)
- Fixed length records (RECFM=F or RECFM=FB). If the JCLLIB data set is a PDSE, the record format can only be RECFM=FB.
- When multiple libraries are specified on the JCLLIB statement, these libraries will be concatenated.
