There are those time when a different cataloged procedure is required that does not have an entry in the linklist or the proclib concatenation for your mainframe account on Z/OS. The safest way to accomplish the desired effect is to use the proclib statement.
When you specify JCLLIB on the proclib statement you are able to set a search order for locating cataloged procedures from a procedure library that is not defined in your operating system.
[codesyntax lang=”text”]
//AMBMVS JOB (SYS), 'BROOKS COMPUTING SYSTEMS, LLC',CLASS=A, // MSGCLASS=A,MSGLEVEL=(1,1) //* //* //PROCLIB JCLLIB ORDER=SYSC.PROCLIB //STEP0001 EXEC FORTGC //SYSIN DD DISP=SHR,DSN=AMBMVS.PDS.FORT(TP01)
[/codesyntax]
This technique allows the user to avoid creating in stream procs or adding procs to the default proc libraries.
