JCLLIB: The PDS, where all the JCL (procedures) are present.
JOBLIB: The PDS, which contains the load modules of the programs.
In a JCL, if we are including any procedures, the system should know where it needs to be searched. That's why we are mentioning JCLLIB.. here is the syntax..
//DDNAME JCLLIB ORDER=(Emer.proclib,prod.proclib)
Where, DDNAME can be anything within 8 chars, JCLLIB & ORDER are the keywords and there is no DISP is needed.
When a program is try to run the system will execute the macro to load the executable code(load module of the program) from the load library to main memory. So we should mention where it should find the same. here is the syntax.....
//JOBLIB DD DSN=emer.loadlib,DISP=SHR
// DD DSN=prod.loadlib,DISP=SHR
// DD DSN=test.loadlib,DISP=SHR
Where, other than the library name, all others are keyworkds.
Please include if I missed anything..

Why did you choose to work with ibm mainframe cobol programming?
Our issue is there seems to be a disconnect, or no link, between our SELECT statement and our SD. We had SELECT SORT-FILE and SELECT SORT-FILE ASSIGN TO SORTWRK. ASSIGN TO SORTWRK1 SORTWRK2 SORTWRK3 SORTWRK4. with SD SORT_FILE RECORD CONTAINS 7833 CHARACTERS. In either case, at run time, the system ignored our SORTWRK# DD statements and allocated 16 sort works with the SORTWK## naming convention. Any ideas why the system does not recognize the connection? We do not even need the SORTWRK DD statements. Thanks
