TSO STEPLIB Allocation

Does anyone know, by any chance, if there is any (legitimate) way to rid oneself of an unwanted STEPLIB allocation to one's TSO session ? Ordinarily I would set up a new logon procedure but that's not an option on this gig. Probably better not download any code either.

Well, for someone who is new to the mainframe you certainly chose a deep pool to jump into. Messing with catalogs is always fun. There's a great vendor product available which will allow you to do almost anything with foreign catalogs, I can't just remember its name but I'm sure someone else will
