Some folks have probably been burned by the abuse of user libraries in the
LINKLIST and so preach fire and brimstone against it.
To others it is just "business as usual" because they have not experienced such

Thank you very much for your JCL.
I have tweaked it a little to modify the column layout, moving the "who did it"
to the end of the line, and keeping "what happened" at the start.
Some minor displacement corrections also.
Very useful JCL.
Thank you very much.

I dunno... when we migrated from VSE to z/OS in 2010 I was almost burned as a
heretic for suggesting that user application libraries be placed in the
linklist...

increases as the number of processors increases. We do not condition

LRS also provides several PCMD keywords that can reduce the need
for multiple definitions for the "same" printer. These keywords provide various
methods of "injecting" printer commands to control pagination, duplex, fonts

I am surprised no one yet as asked, is the OP referring to 1) The COBOL
compiler library, 2) the COBOL runtime library, or 3) user libraries with COBOL
programs.
1) Don't see any real need for this.
2) Probably already done, as the COBOL runtime library is CEE.SCEERUN

I have plenty of PDSE datasets in my linklist with no issues including the ones

LRS provides a report of printer use, if you are collecting the SMF, If you
don't have 13 months of data then make sure to sample month end, quarter
end and year end processing dates... if not, you may miss some limited use
printers.

As you will find out. Any Cobol program compiled from the Cobol Compiler from
5.0 up will REQUIRE PDSE for the Load lib - Object LOAD.
If you have your application batch load library in the LINKLST then you will
need to move it into the place where you start other PDS/E Dataset in the
Linklst
Cobol 5+ objects must be in PDSE. Some early IPL functions can't
list a PDSE. Only restriction.
