Re: Illogical Mess

[MacWheel99@xxxxxxx]

Thanks Boris
I'm verifying some areas where we had assumed stuff was set up right but are
now finding anomalies, where it looks to me like some things were compiled
with the false assumption that only one environment mattered, like I am
finding physicals in which the logical pointing at them is in one of the
libraries of fixes from SSA associated with the conversion to BPCS 405 CD from
an earlier version.

Boris suggested

I used DSPDBR with Query selecting dependent libraries greater than blank &
not equal to target library.  This showed that we we have some logicals for
the production environment that need to be moved to the same library as
physicals, a risk but not serious yet.  We also have some stuff in test
environment that I doubt will work right because the crossed logicals are not
in the BPCS user group.

I used DSPPGMREF with Query selecting linked object library not equal to *LIBL
or to target library.  The volume of mis-hits is just overwhelming me, but I
am hoping that software objects are governed by over-rides that use data
defining current environment, so if anything is crossed, it should still be
ruled by the end-user's BPCSMENU.
