The SYSLIB data set concatenation defines the macro libraries for the Assembler compiler and their order. Any number of macro libraries may be specified and any library that is a zFolder may be so flagged. Any libraries that do not already exist on the system can be specified too.

The following is a list of common libraries that may be considered for the SYSLIB concatenation:
| Assembler | |
| Library: | Description: |
| MAC | A zFolder data set containing your own macros and copy members. |
| SYS1.MACLIB | Contains the macro definitions for supervisor and data management macro instructions. |
| SYS1.MODGEN | Contains the macro definitions for system related macro instructions. |
| SYS1.SASMMAC1 | High level assembler macros. |
| SYS1.SASMMAC2 | High level assembler macros. |
