Very good question!  And I'll answer it since it's one of those "odd"
situations.

My software is on a customer's machine.  They also have another vendor's
software.

We both use a common service program (let's call it
"SRVPGM1") that is basically the same thing, a library containing
specific functionality for both of our software packages.

My version of SRVPGM1 is newer.  The other vendor's library is in the
system library list.  So when my software runs, it finds the other
vendor's service program and bombs with a signature error.

Options here are:

1.  Remove the vendor's library from the system library list (preferred,
but not an option since changing all the jobds to add it there would be
"too much work").

2.  Change my program to specifically look for my service program in my
library (what I will end up doing)

3.  Add my library to the system library list ahead of the other one
(ugh.... I wouldn't even suggest that).

I normally specify *LIBL since they can move my apps anywhere on the
system and hardcoding the library would make that an issue.
