So it sounds like you are changing the library list, then calling a service
program that already has the file open, in another library?  I have done
something similar by modifying the service programs.  One option is to add a
library name parm to the service program call.  Then have the service
program determine if it has the correct file open each time.  If it does
not, then it can close the file, re-evaluate an EXTFILE variable, and
re-open it in the correct library.
