You made me look! Sorry but I gave some incorrect information from very old memory without looking it up. In fact, the POWER SLI JECL statement is expanded at execution time and not reader time. So, you can create a library member in one step and read it in another step of the same job with SLI. Since your original requirement was to mix instream data with non-instream data you could also look into using the * $$ DATA statement which allows switching back and forth between library data and instream data when an SLI is being expanded. Check the VSE/POWER Administration and Operation manual for a real authority.
