1 Joblib is a default load library for all the jobsteps
JOBLIB DD statement specifies the private library that the
system needs to search to obtain the program named in each
of the EXEC statements PGM parameters. Only if the program
is not found in the private, the system searches in the
system libraries.
Jcllib is the loadlib that contains cataloged procedures
JCLLIB statement species the private library that the system
needs to search to obtain
(a) the procedures (PROCS) named in the EXEC statement
(b) the Groups of JCL statements (called INCLUDE groups)
named on any INCLUDE statements

Answer / gowthamgyaa
Mainframe can understand only in terms of hexadecimal. Application programming what we coding like COBOL, have to be converted into Hexadecimal. Hence during the stages of compiling, our Programming codes would be link-edited and moved to load library as hexadecimal codes.
Since Load library is a private library[used only by single user], we are using joblib to invoke it.
JCL lib would be used to invoke system libraries like ZOS.PROCLIB.

JOBLIB is used to include the System libaraies.
JCLLIB for the order in which the PROCS are Steps in Job to
be searched.
Example.
//JOBNAME JOB
(1,02931,1A),'SDV2903',CLASS=1,
//MSGCLASS=N,NOTIFY=&SYSUID
// JCLLIB ORDER=DW££.SDV.CUS.TST.PROCLIB
//JOBLIB INCLUDE
MEMBE=SDVLIBS
//STEP1 EXEC
SDV2903P

I have a Symbolic Parameter which can have a value say 01 or 02 etc. Now consider i have another Symbolic parameters which is used to get 3 digit code of months (JAN, FEB, etc) but for that i need to check the first symbolic parameter's value and provide its corresponding month's name in the second symbolic parameter. Say IF sym1 = 01 then sym2='Jan' ENDIF etc... In JCL, IF condition is used for RC, ABEND purposes of a step etc. When i use Symbolic parameter in IF clause it is showing Error message. Is there a way to get the above result possible in JCL. If you could provide me with an example, i would understand it better.
