Re: why isn't my CHGLIBL working?

You have to pass a different variable or literal for each library in the
library list.  The command parser is looking for many different
parameters, but you're only sending only one.

The CHGLIBL command thinks that you've only got one library that you want
in your library list -- and that it's 200 characters long, and contains
spaces!

If you want everything in your variable to be parsed as if it were typed
directly at the command line (or in the CL program) you need to use
the QCMDEXC (or similar) API.

The QCMDEXC API will parse out each of your arguments, and send it them to
the command interpreter as seperate libraries.

Example:

PGM
DCL VAR(&LIST) TYPE(*CHAR) LEN(200)
DCL VAR(&CMD) TYPE(*CHAR) LEN(250)
RTVDTAARA  DTAARA(GNTDA001 (1 200)) RTNVAR(&LIST)
CHGVAR VAR(&CMD) VALUE('CHGLIBL LIBL(' *TCAT &LIST *TCAT ')')
CALL QCMDEXC PARM(&CMD 250)
ENDPGM
