The STEPLIB can be anywhere within the step boundries. It is only by convention that we place it directly after the EXEC. In fact this can cause a problem. The external writer, at least back a couple of decades ago, would scan the TIOT and select the first DD found as its output DD. I destroyed a run library by putting the STEPLIB immediately after the EXEC. This cause the external writer to open it for output as a PS file and totally destroy the directory. -- John McKown Systems Engineer IV IT Administrative Services Group HealthMarkets(r) 9151 Boulevard 26 * N.
