Apparently, you have never worked on a system running JBA. Three libraries (data files, source, program objects) per module (A/R, A/P, inventory, Sales Order Entry, etc. ad infinitum), plus a few libraries in the system library list, if I remember correctly. I could see a lot of JBA shops jumping on the 250-library list bandwagon. Dan Bale IT - AS/400 Handleman Company 248-362-4400 Ext. 4952 D.Bale@Handleman.com Quiquid latine dictum sit altum viditur.

I totally agree. I have always gone for the KISS principle. The simpler it is the quicker it is to develop, the cheaper it is to develop, the easier it is to maintain, the better it will perform and the likelihood is that it will be more stable. Al Barsa has kindly drawn our attention to the V5R1 ability to handle 250 entries in the library list. The idea that any one should actually require the current maximum number of 25 horrifies me - I find 4 user libraries adequate for most purposes. As for 250, I am, for once in my life, speechless!
