Indeed. You can ask JES something, but reply may or may not be the same as in 
Parmlib member used at initialization.

Ah, yes, JES commands. I forgot about them. You can add/delete proclibs at will.

Or you can read in a JCL, edit it in memory programmatically, insert a JCLLIB 
ORDER and/or INCLUDE MEMBER and submit the JCL as modified without changing the 
actual stored JCL. No scanner, except in JES or SMF exits, will block this. [1]

Hehehehe. No one argues with Shmuel.

Good reply, Shmuel! Keep it up!
