RE: 250 libraries again (was V3R1 QUSRTOOL, *PRDLOD)

[barsa@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

They had a couple of choices.  They could have supported retrieving both
the short and long versions of the library list.  Also they could have
created a system value, which defaulted to a *JOBD, which caused the
setting at the job level.

They didn't think this one out well.

All of the old CL's (still using USRLIBL instead of the new parameter) are
broken because they will lose library 26+.  I really can't see how IBM
could
make this change without breaking code.
