Title: RE: RPG Programming Question

In BPCS version 4.05CD and less the following command is used to construct the initial library list. This show the QTEMP library at the bottom.

RTVDTAARA DTAARA(&USRLIB/INLIBL) RTNVAR(&LIBL)
CHGVAR     VAR(&CMD) VALUE('CHGLIBL LIBL(' *CAT &LIBL +
              *BCAT 'QGPL QTEMP' *TCAT ')')
CALL PGM(QCMDEXC) PARM(&CMD &LEN)

I do believe it would be more convenient if SSA put it at the top instead of the bottom. I have learned not to rely on the position of the QTEMP library on the library list. Using overrides where need to make sure the file is used from QTEMP. I would not try to change BPCS to put it at the top. Unpredictable results could occur. I would have the programmer change his/her library list as need for testing. A simple EDTLIBL would do this.
