RE: V5R1 Library List Enhancemen

I mostly agree with the sentiment that existing applications will not be
affected by the "enhancement" from 25 to 250 libraries in the library list.
Primarily for the reason Rob offers.  The only way I can see this could be
"gotcha" material is if an application allows multiple ADDLIBLE's until a
MONMSG catches a CPF2118 "library not added to library list cuz already full".
 (That would, IMO, be a poor programming practice.)  Under V5R1, this won't
hit until 250, and if subsequent library list "save"/"restore" functions only
get the first 25, then chaos ensues.

Keep chugging along.  Really.  If no one starts using the capability to
have more than 25 libraries in a list.  No change is necessary.  If so,
then you may, or may not have a problem.  Like I said, it's a single point
of change for SSA.  (And who would of thought of them as forward thinking?)

And what do you do for programs for which you have no source and where the
CL is not retrievable?  What do you do if you don't have SEU?  What do you
do if you are just a dumb user, and have an end-user system with an
unsupported package (that's worked since the year of the flood), with:

a.)  a vendor out of business
b.)  support so far behind that you cannot afford to get current
