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

Change your ATTN program to MYAPP2 which will save the 26+ LIBL, then have
it call MYAPP, then CHGLIBL back to the 26+ saved when MYAPP returns control
to MYAPP2.  In this case, it would not matter even if you do not have the
source to MYAPP.

Just a thought.

Here is the scenario that seems insurmountable to me:

user sign on
  initial pgm
    SETATNPGM MYAPP
    start vendor X application
    set libl to 26+
    do work
      ATTN key
      MYAPP runs
        RTVJOBA (save 25 libs)
        CHGLIBL (MYAPP libl)
        do work
        CHGLIBL (save 25 libs)
        end MYAPP
      -=libl is corrupted; missing lib 26+=-

But the existing "short" versions would lose library 26+ as in my example
above.

I can't set the "use short" attribute for the above job because vendor X
needs 26 libraries...

Still in the dark...
