Re: Difference between QSYS/QGYOLOBJ versus QGY/QGYOLOBJ

Dave,

From the V5R3 Memo to Users 

http://www-912.ibm.com/s_dir/sline003.nsf/PSP%20Number%20View/SF98086 :

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Prior to V5R3, the Open List APIs were part of the Host Servers option     
     
(option 12).                                                               
     
                                                                          
      
In V5R3, these APIs are part of base operating system (option 0) and are   
     
located in library QSYS instead of library QGY.                           
      
                                                                          
      
For V5R3, Open List router programs that are in library QGY will           
     
transfer control to the corresponding API in QSYS.                         
     
                                                                          
      
These router programs and the library QGY will be removed in a future     
      
release. You should change any applications that make library-qualified   
      
calls to the Open List APIs in library QGY to call the APIs in library     
     
QSYS. The parameters for these APIs did not change in V5R3.               
      


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So starting with V5R3 the QGY* APIs will be found in QSYS, and in prior 
releases they were in QGY.
For compatibility reasons IBM supplies a version of the QGY* APIs in QGY 
for V5R3, but all that
these *PGMs do is route your API call to the API that now resides in QSYS. 
 Any use of the QGY* 
APIs should be migrated to using the QSYS instances.

If you need to support releases prior to V5R3, and also V5R3 or later 
releases, then the Retrieve 
Product Information API QSZRTVPR can be used to determine what release 
your application is
running on.

Hope this helps,
Bruce Vining

Difference between QSYS/QGYOLOBJ versus QGY/QGYOLOBJ






Hello,

While trying to use one of my tool programs at a client site, it blew 
up because it could not find the QGYOLOBJ API.  Upon further 
checking, it appears that the QGYOLOBJ (Open List of Objects) program 
has been deleted from QSYS.  I found another QGYOLOBJ program in 
library QGY and by adding library QGY to my library list, my program 
worked okay.

In checking QGYOLOBJ on other systems, the programs in QSYS and QGY 
appear to be different when you look at the object description.  What 
is the difference between the two programs and can I just create a 
dup object from QGY to QSYS to make the QGYOLOBJ program available to 
all users at this particular client site?

This particular client will be migrating off of this machine onto 
another machine in the next 8 months or so.  Is there another option 
to get this program back into QSYS?

I believe that this client is still on V5R2 and my other clients and 
my machine are on V5R3 and above.

Thanks
