Re: Weird issue with a display file

The DSPPGMREF apparently shows the compile library all the time with any
*FILE object types, but in our case it's still using *LIBL to find the
objects. From one of our clients box:

ASP Opt Library Attribute Device Text (Cannot find object to match specified name.)
And the object is being used:

Only it's not only using the qualified name to do a DSPPGMREF on the program, but also to open the DSPF at run time.

On the V6 box, where I just recompiled the program using the V6 compiler, I renamed the library where I put the program, and even though the library is in my library list (and a DSPLIBL showed it there with the new name), the program crashes on takeoff, trying to find its DSPF in a nonexistent library. And as soon as I renamed the library back, the program went back to working properly.
