No question. I wholeheartedly agree. I just didn't see the panic factor. Remember I was basing it on, 1) If they are not using more than 25 libraries in their list now, they won't notice it when they go to V5R1. 2) Most cross application calls that do library list manipulation are at 1 or 2 points of cross over. 3) I can see some crunch for the tool manufacturers like Turnover, AS/SET and what not.

I thought just a truncation error would occur. But then again, you won't have a problem unless you want to use more than 25 libraries. And most cross application calls are at a single point. At least from my own humble experience.

Primarily for the reason Rob offers. The only way I can see this could be "gotcha" material is if an application allows multiple ADDLIBLE's until a MONMSG catches a CPF2118 "library not added to library list cuz already full". (That would, IMO, be a poor programming practice.) Under V5R1, this won't hit until 250, and if subsequent library list "save"/"restore" functions only get the first 25, then chaos ensues.

(Whatever is said in Latin seems profound.) -------------------------- Original Message -------------------------- Keep chugging along. Really. If no one starts using the capability to have more than 25 libraries in a list. No change is necessary. If so, then you may, or may not have a problem. Like I said, it's a single point of change for SSA. (And who would of thought of them as forward thinking?)
