They might be out of date, but requirements of compatiblity and the cost to IBM of changes make them somewhat relevant. They're easily accessible the other choice being MVT which probably worked the same (for this case). Or the old MVT/MVS program logic manuals. > >*... > >* A.

You don't want to go there... From memory: non-reuseable -> ignored, LINK will go get another copy serial reuseable -> LINK will wait until it's not in use If it's RENT then it will get used if the name matches even if it was fetched from a private library (at least on MVS SP?). I had a small program (non-auth) in linklst which would preload a list of RENT modules from a private library and then XCTL to a specified target. This let me run ISPF with my modules in JPQ without a steplib. -- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN

Re: Equivalent of TSOLIB for batch (job library search & JSTCB
Search a z/OS release's publications for Module Search Order and you will find this match: https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/zos/2.5.0?topic=lla-module-search-order As with many things, there are techniques and subtleties that can affect what happens. For example, you can bypass the search of tasklib(s),steplib/joblib by specifying the DCB of the LNKLST. Some system code does this. Various considerations apply when considering whether an already-loaded module of the right name can be used for a subsequent request, including authorization and reentrancy (or lack thereof). Does reaching TCBJSTCB stop the search of the JLBs? Yes.
