Wrong JCLLIB use.
JCLLIB is *not* DD name it is separate JCL statement. Like PROC, PEND,
EXEC, JOB, etc.
What is misleading, it is *NOT* similar to JOBLIB/STEPLIB or older
special DD names.

gotten around the must-change-many-places problem with the SMP/E jobs. Thanks!
Next, Gil suggested using an INCLUDE member, so the SETs get done exactly once,
which I quite like. But now I'm stumped again.
Here's my trivial test job:
//TEST JOB MSGLEVEL=(1,1),MSGCLASS=A,NOTIFY=&SYSUID
//*
//* THE FOLLOWING DATA SETS EXIST:
//* PHS.PDS.JCL840(TEST) **THIS JOB
//* PHS.PDS.JCL840(SETS) **THE INCLUDE MEMBER
//* HUD840.VVSH84C.SMPMCS **THE INPUT DATA SET
//* PHS840.SAMPLE.MCS **THE OUTPUT DATA SET
//*
//* PHS.PDS.JCL840(SETS) INCLUDES THE FOLLOWING LONE STATEMENT:
//* SET HLQ=HUD840
//*
//COPYIT EXEC PGM=IEBCOPY
//JCLLIB DD DSN=PHS.PDS.JCL840,DISP=SHR
// INCLUDE MEMBER=SETS
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSUT1 DD DSN=&HLQ..VVSH84C.SMPMCS
//SYSUT2 DD DSN=PHS840.SAMPLE.MCS,DISP=OLD
//SYSIN DD *
COPYGRP INDD=((SYSUT1,R)),OUTDD=SYSUT2
/*
This fails with:
STMT NO. MESSAGE
4 IEFC017I INCLUDE SETS WAS NOT FOUND
6 IEFC624I INCORRECT USE OF PERIOD IN THE DSN FIELD
I understand the latter error (because the SET didn't happen), but the first is
baffling. Based on
https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/zos/2.1.0?topic=description-examples-include-statement
I first thought that the JCLLIB needed to *precede* the EXEC statement. That's
sure what they show. But if I move it up one, I get:
STMT NO. MESSAGE
2 IEFC019I MISPLACED DD STATEMENT
.followed by the same two other errors.
I'm sure this is something obvious, but I've been tinkering and not getting anywhere. At
one point I did have it complaining not about the JCLLIB (which was before the EXEC at
that point), but rather that the "JOB HAS NO STEPS", which I don't understand
either, but that went away with more tinkering-though nothing I did really ADDED a
jobstep.
Any ideas?
