RE: Modify SYSVAL QSYSLIBL

Frank,

You wrote, "IBM should prevent the backwards compatibility libs getting into
the SYSLIBL."

Ya...  I'd say I agree with that...!  Can users implement this through
security if IBM doesn't.  RVKOBJAUT, but then you need a program that
adopts, to run compiles...  Kludge...?  (Which I pronounce kloooodge...;-)

| I dont have a reason as such. One of our programmers
| modified a jobs *LIBL (system portion) with CHGSYSLIBL.
| Could not even do a SYS REQ cancel, or SIGNOFF.
| It is simply something that is very easy to do and
| I suspect will disable the AS400.
| IBM should prevent the backwards compatibility libs
| getting into the SYSLIBL.
