I suspect Rob's answer was framed without considering the special nature of
the iSeries...

Rob,

Library lists (at least when using the HitSoftware OLE/DB drvier) are driven
from the job description of the user profile you use to login. We use
multiple user profiles with multiple library lists all the time.

Reeve,

Correct me if I am mistaken here.  But the original argument was against
ODBC wasn't it?  There was a part of your argument in which you state <snip>
Files moving to other libraries...well, what are library lists for?
<endsnip>

First of all there is no concept of a library list in C/S programming.  You
have to bury that in your connector.  And yes libraries change all the time.
We have numerous divisions.  When we create a new division we do not want to
change connectors on a load of PC's.  Or even if you have the classic
test/production library environments, you'll have this issue.
