The comparison between JOBLIB and STEPLIB are as:

JOBLIB

  • JOBLIB statement is used to identify the location of the program to be executed in a JCL.
  • It is specified after the JOB statement and before the EXEC statement.
  • It cannot be placed in a cataloged procedure

It's syntax is

//JOBLIB DD DSN=dsnname,DISP=SHR

STEPLIB

  • A STEPLIB statement is used to identify the location of the program to be executed within a JOB step.
  • It is specified after the EXEC statement and before the DD statement of the job step.
  • It can be placed in a cataloged procedure

It's syntax is

//STEPLIB DD DSN=dsnname,DISP=SHR
