I have PROD1.PROCLIB listed in the System Procedure Library in JES configuration.  But unless I include the JCLLIB statement in my JCL it can’t find the procedure.

Hi,
Do you have a catalog entry and if so what is that configured as? Specifically is the “Dynamic PDS” option enabled and PDS Exts textbox, is that defined with your procedure’s extension , e.g. “PRC”?

There is a knowledge base article title “How to use a JCL procedure using JCLLIB statement” that you can refer to as a how to.

Regards,
Kim

I will look at the article.  But yes my catalog entry is defined with the Dynamic PDS option checked and the extensions include .PRC.  Like I said it can find the proc if I include the JCLLIB statement with the PDS name inside of the JCL, but I would rather not if avoidable.

I believe the mentioned article will help you in this instance.
