Re: QRPLOBJ Library

Allen,
I have forwarded your message to our President, Joe Hainey, he knows the
AS/400 inside out - I believe he can provide some input here.  Hope this is
helpful.
Lori.

Subject: QRPLOBJ Library


> Help! I put a question to the list some time back about this, but did not
get the response I was hoping for.  Perhaps I need to modify my question
extensively.
> On our AS400e v4r4 we have a library called production. Pgmrs have test
libraries.
> We have a move process written in cl and cobol. Whenever a program is
moved from test into production, this move process is used. When the move is
done, the program to be moved is NOT running. During the move, any version
of this object in qrplobj is deleted, the existing production program object
is forced to QRPLOBJ library with the movobj command. The test program
object is then moved to production.
> We also have a special little recompile process written in cl. When an
object is recompiled: any version in qrplobj is deleted, the existing object
is first forced to QRPLOBJ with the movobj command, the existing source is
compiled into new pgm object in production.
> I had an incident recently where I made some changes to a program that
took a right justified field. left justified it and output it. The program
object was moved into production.  At that point, there are ( unless IBM
stores them somewhere else on a movobj??) only two program objects on the
system: the one we forced into QRPLOBJ and the one we forced from my test
library into production. After starting program again, it becomes obvious
that the changes are not in affect; without a doubt. Doing a wrkobj at this
time shows that only two versions of object exist, as I mentioned.  Looking
in call stack for active program object shows that the object running is the
one in production.
> Doing a recompile (no changes to the source code) fixes the problem.

> My Questions:
>
> 1. Is there ever a time when the call stack will show that version of
object in one library is running when in fact it is the version in QRPLOBJ
that is running?
>
> 2. Could the force of the object to QRPLOBJ system library cause the kind
of behavior I am describing?
