Multiple choice library

If both the JOBLIB and STEPLIB statements are coded, which specification will the JCL choose to perform the step

  2. None of Them

  3. Question is false

A Correct answer
Explanation

In JCL, when both JOBLIB and STEPLIB are specified, STEPLIB takes precedence (overrides JOBLIB) for the specific step in which it's coded. JOBLIB defines a library for all steps in the job, but STEPLIB allows individual steps to use different libraries. This hierarchical design lets specific steps override the job-level library definition. The 'Question is false' option is invalid.
