If you're going to be running under ISPF, you can put it in your
ISPLLIB concatenation before you start ISPF. Of course, if your
sysprog supplies you a logon proc that drops you into ISPF and
won't let you back to READY prompt, you can't do that either.

TASKLIB is an operand of ATTACH, not a DDNAME. You'd need to write
a short (assembler) program that ALLOCATEs your TASKLIB concatenation
then supplies it to ATTACH.

It just ain't like UNIX, where you can change PATH at any point.
The initiator OPENs your STEPLIB before ATTACHing your program
(or the TMP). You can't change the allocation while it's open.
