To answer the question you asked, JES2 only accepts 2 digits for PROCLIB definitions It is still very old fashion.
A change request to JES2 might be accepted but I cannot see it being done very quickly or soon. And I do like JCLLIBs. Experiment with the INCLUDE statement and JCLLIB statements. You might be able to put the includes like APPL in SYS1.PROCLIB that specifices the JCLLIB sequence you want your users to access. So your JCL might look like //JOBCARD ... // INCLUDE MEMBER=APPL //Remainder of job stream. I am not sure if that would work, but it would be interesting to try it. I do use that for STEPLIBs have not tried it for JCLLIBs.
