hook the chglibl and addlible cmds.  in your version of the cmd send an
escape msg when the nbr of libs exceeds 25.

hook the rtvjoba cmd. In your version, add this LiblFmt parameter.  If by
variable lgth rtn variables you mean Vary(*Yes) and PassAttr(*Yes), then a
user written cmd can have variable lgth rtn variables also.
