Hi Michael,
What about //JOBLIB? ... That is not in any Step.

It they had used DD, imagine all the customer code that would break that parses JCL
looking for DDs, and never expects to see a DD outside of a step. And all the code that
*edits* DDs would have to say "except if PROCLIB". And you wouldn't be able to
*have* a DD named PROCLIB. And certain code would break that currently *creates* a DD
named PROCLIB from the proc concatenation.

I thought ORDER= was done because you can code more than one dataset.
DD concatenation should have sufficed for that.
DD concatenation is better, because it may contain more entries. Yes,
ORDER parameter can be continued in next line, but it is much more error
prone than regular DD set.
DD is also better, because it can describe non-catalogued PDS(E)s.
I suspect the JCLLIB in that form was a way to force catalog as a must.
AFAIK it was introduced in MVS 4.1 along with IF/THEN/ELSE statements.
And TIME=NOLIMIT (not 1440).
Or maybe it was INCLUDE?
