Two answers:
1. lib03 on volser3 was allocated when JES2 started and this never changes.
JES2 will search this PROCLIB concatenation for the rest of its life.

If all PROCs are found in lib01 and lib02, there is no need to search lib03.

If the library that was moved was for a non-system dataset (like

them being allocated to JES2.
