Re: Insert library in front of PRDLIB when submitting a command?

You can have 2 PRDLIBs in your library list - the only way to get the 2nd one in is with the QLICHGLL API - I've used this by saving the current LIBL, all parts, from system to product to current to user - then use the API - then set things back again with the API.

When I use QLICHGLL for a second PRDLIB(), I do these steps:

1. Save the current PRDLIB() #2.
2. Change PRDLIB() #2 to hold PRDLIB() #1.
3. Change PRDLIB() #1 to hold the new product library.
4. Run the process that needs the altered PRDLIB().

When my procedure ends:

1. Change PRDLIB() #1 to hold PRDLIB() #2 (i.e., restore it).
2. Change PRDLIB() #2 to hold the saved value (i.e., restore it.)
3. Exit.

Kind of a push/pop stack where I save what falls off the bottom when I push a value onto the top and discard what pops off the top when I push the saved value back onto the bottom.

Of course, if nothing was in PRDLIB() #2 at the start, it gets set back to nothing at the end. The proc lets me push/pop a number of libraries in sequence, always having the two most recent on the 'stack'.

Too bad David was trying to solve a different problem, eh?

Just a little more background on this problem ... I'm submitting a custom compile command from WDSC. I don't seem to have the ability to add a library to the system library list when a compile is submitted.

I didn't post this to the WDSC list, as I'm fairly sure it's strictly a smbjob and prdlib issue.
