>>We have multiple data libraries that we need our users to access that we
usually define the user profile to start a tran that gets them directly to
the proper library and menu. Do we need to define a user profile on the
AS400 for each person to access each separate library via the library list?
Example: define profile FRED1 so that it goes directly to library PROD1,
and define FRED2 so that it goes directly to PROD2.<<

Dave, I suggest that you use real AS/400 *MENU objects for your menus.
*MENU objects are created with the CRTMNU command and allow a product and a
current library to be specified that will be automatically added to the
library list when the menu is used. Then you can place the *MENU objects in
a common library, create one user profile for each user, and give the user
profile authority to the menus you want to let them use. Then when a user
goes to a menu the library used by that menu will be added to the library
list.

Your own CL commands can also be used to automatically add a library to the
library list. (The CRTCMD command has the same product library and current
library parameters as the CRTMNU command.)
