I was going to jump right in and argue with you.  But you have a good
point. Why even have QTEMP in your library list if you are going to put 
it at the end and qualify everything?  I mean, if you are going to put
OVRDBF MYFILE TOFILE(QTEMP/MYFILE)
then QTEMP does not need to be in your library list.
Except for the fact that OS/400 (and other LPPs) stick stuff in QTEMP and you don't know whether they use qualified references.

Only two of these objects are visible via DSPLIB QTEMP. All the rest are internal things.
I expect internal code finds QTEMP from the pointer in the WCB rather than the *LIBL but probably not a good idea to remove QTEMP entirely unless you *KNOW* nothing in the job needs it.
For what it's worth I'm in the "stick QTEMP at the top of *USRLIBL" camp and I think those who put it in *SYSLIBL should be shot.

Simon Coulter.
