I found this to be interesting, but I don't quite understand it: "z/OS V2.2 is designed to support a new IEFOPZxx parmlib member in which you can specify pairs of partitioned (PDS and PDSE) data sets. In each pair, you can specify one that is to be searched ahead of its counterpart data set when programs are fetched. This new function is intended to allow you to insert program libraries ahead of others in the link list, in STEPLIB and JOBLIB concatenations, and for LLA-managed libraries without making JCL changes. A new DISPLAY IEFOPZ command is designed to display information about existing pair definitions, and a SET IEFOPZ command is designed to allow you to add, remove, or change pair definitions dynamically. This is expected to be useful for activities such as converting application program libraries from PDS to PDSE, as is necessary for converting to COBOL V5 (5655-W32), without requiring JCL changes. Availability of these functions is planned for December 2015 with the PTF for APAR OA47689."
Can someone "in the know" give an example of how this would work with JOBLIB or STEPLIB? Thanks!
