Okay, to summarize this as I now understand it. Someone please correct me if
I am wrong.

I will use the shorthand "started PROC" to mean "a procedure stored as a
member in a PDS that is intended to be the operand of a successful console
Start command."

- You cannot use a JCLLIB statement in a started PROC unless the PROC begins
with a JOB statement.

- You cannot use a JOB statement in a started PROC unless MSTJCL DD IEFJOBS
or IEFPDSI points to the PDS; mere inclusion in the PARMLIB concatenation is
not enough.

Charles, as others have pointed out,  you cannot add jobcard JCLLIB
statements to the PROCLIB member.   You must modify/configure MSTJCL to
include a IEFJOBS dd statement pointing at a PDS dataset.   In that library,
you can code a jobcard and JCLLIB statement that calls the proc you want.

Subject: JCLLIB in started proc?

I just added a JCLLIB statement to a cataloged  procedure that I start with
a Start command. I am getting IEFC019I MISPLACED JCLLIB STATEMENT. Should I
infer that JCLLIB is not allowed in a started PROC, or should I be looking
for a fat-finger coding error? (I want the JCLLIB for INCLUDE, not EXEC
PROC=.) I RTFM but don't see anything explicit.

It does refer to "in a job" at several points. Is JCLLIB allowed in a
started PROC if the PROC has a JOB statement? I know I can do that but I've
never done it. Where is that documented?
