I can't resist this thread anymore!!! I have a mixed feeling about JCLLIBs. But it is just me. ;-) >Operationally, they are fine, but problem is JCL can now be scattered to the >corners of the datacenter and possibly to generally unknown locations. Hehehe, 'scattered to the corners ...'. Good way of saying which I will remember of course. They're like those (cute?) rats we needed to exterminate in our datacentres some gazillion years ago. :-) Ok, seriously, in my opinion, I would like the procs be used as follow: 1. System procs as distributed with slight modifications for example HLQ naming standards. //PROC00 DD DSN=SYS1.PROCLIB,DISP=SHR // DD DSN=SYS1.IBM.PROCLIB,DISP=SHR 2. LPAR or Application specific proclibs. Some products may only be run in certain LPARS for example licensing issues. // DD DSN=&SYSCODE1..PROCLIB 3. Your own unique procs, JCLLIBS of course, where you do something not standardized. Some of our users are using pre- or post- steps during compiling/lked thus requiring their own version of standard compile/link procs. Or just having strange things with perhaps another set of naming standards usually for testing weird things out. Of course, above is perhaps not suitable for you and your datacentre. To the OP: I would like to suggest either JCLLIB or LPAR / application specific Proclibs to solve your problem. Perhaps you can keep your APPL members in an unique Proclib (JES2 or JCLLIB) only. > Used to be you a finite(small) set of PROCLIB's that you *knew* contained all > JCL and could easily react to changes. And use RACF to stop snoopers changing 'official' proclibs members. I don't like it when they change an important member and then some STCs fail... ouch... Just my 2 cents which may be taxed or not. ;-D Groete / Greetings Elardus Engelbrecht ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
