Thanks for the reply - here's the bit that seems a little self-contradictory to me - in your first reply you said that the intent of using a PRDLIB was so you did NOT have to ADLDIBLE to get at things in your own library, that of your product. Am I mixing apples and oranges here? You suggest that there is no reason an application would want to run a system command against its own resources - that did not make sense to me.

I guess I'm thinking that the system DOES know what product libraries have been used - you mentioned an LIFO stack - that's what I assumed was the mechanism. One could always put a limit on the number of stack entries. So it is not IMpossible to know what those are, hence, they COULD be included in the search path. Now what are the side effects? Hey, I'm fighting my own issues with side effects in my own coding now!!! ;-)

Thanks
Vern


If a [utility
or] product is using the PRDLIB() to effect enabling the user to access
objects in that product library, my assertion is that having coded such
a dependency is a _design flaw_ for that product.
