Specifying the MVS Copybook Location
You can specify the location of the copybooks as a DSN DD card in the compile job instead of specifying a UNIX System Services (USS) directory in the compiler option -sp where the copybooks are located. This eliminates the need to transfer existing copybooks from a dataset to a USS directory.
However, if the COBOL copybooks are to be stored in the USS, this option must be switched off manually:
# USING MVS PATHS IN COMPILE JCL TO SPECIFY THE COPYBOOKS LOCATION
# - 1: SPECIFY LOCATION OF COPYBOOKS IN 'SYSLIB' DD CARD
# - 0: SPECIFY LOCATION OF COPYBOOKS IN -sp COMPILER OPTION
jopaz.compiler.mvs_syslib=0
