<snip> Adding that library second in the STEPLIB using MODS with no DD name allows the alternate version in the first STEPLIB library allows the alternate version to be loaded. </snip>
A good demonstration of the danger of assumptions. Apparently the module was not fetched from the LNKLST, but was fetched from the STEPLIB. I didn't notice anyone asking if the module in question was the copy that fetching from STEPLIB would have chosen. Anyway, I'm glad you figured it out. The other "normal" case if the observation were correct, is that the LOADer is authorized and the tasklib/steplib/joblib concatenation is not authorized, in which case the taslkib/steplib/joblib would not have been eligible.
