Why we will create load module in PDS only, Why nt in PS?

Answer Posted / paray2x

Load modules are actually libraries which contains
programs. We cannot specify a PS in STEPLIB or JOBLIB.

In fact, I tried to compile and link edit a program by
giving a PS load module and got the error

"The SYSLMOD dataset is not a PDS".

Similarly, catalogued procedures in JCLs can only exist in
PDS.

Relate to this to C, C++ where the #include files are in
folders.
