Sorry for the delay. Just joined this list. Tone Software provides a
dynamic STEPLIB product called Dynastep that will allow a different
STEPLIB concatenation for EACH ISPF screen and it is a real TASKLIB so
it will work for LOAD, ATTACH, LINK and XCTL as well as ISPF. The Tone
website is tonesoft.com.

hello folks,
this "problem" has been discussed in the past but it always comes up again. We are just
migrating to z/OS 1.12 and our old version of STEPLIB-command (something from CBT-Tape) does not
work any longer. So we have to migrate to a newer version found on the actual CBT-Tape. I hope it
will work. So why do we use dynamic STEPLIB? It does not make any sense to allocate a load-library
in LINKLST or STEPLIB of logon-procedures when only a handful of people are using it. And if you do
changes in the library-names you have to change a lot of things. So using dynamic STEPLIB is a very
good thing to use. But .... I know and use this more than 20 years. And I do not understand why IBM
does not offer an "official" way of doing this which is maintained with the approprate
z/OS release. There is a use for it and more use than some other things which are developed in the
past used by nearly noone :-(
