I'm not | saying that things wouldn't be all fuc*ed up, I'm sure the web server | wouldn't start, I don't think TCP would be to happy, etc. But I'm sure the | base jobs would come up perfectly fine.

OTOH, | there are other ways to experiment with this, in other environments. | | Sometimes it helps to approach a problem tangentially, meaning, | not directly | head-on. (Now I'm pre-supposing an actual **business need** to | do something | like this, whereas follow-on posts indicated that wasn't so, in the | particular case of the original question.) | | IF (big if) I had a business need to try something like this, I'd | first see | if the system could run WITHOUT a SYSLIBL. If I wasn't working on a | production computer, I'd consider experimenting with seeing if jobs could | run with only having entries in the USER portion of the *LIBL. AFAIK, | there's nothing unique about the system, product, and *CURLIB portions of | the library list. Just that they're always prior to the user portion. So | this experiment would put all libraries on an equal footing, in | the USRLIBL. | Which just eliminates a variable to deal with. | | | Now IF that worked, I'd consider (again, NOT on a production computer) | playing with the order of the system libraries. At that point, I'd expect | the system to tank, but would have a fallback plan, prepared just for that | expected possibility. | | | IOW, I'm not opposed to experiementing with something, per se, IF there's | some possible business justification from the experimentation, | and IF that's | in line with the risk and time involved in the experiment. | | | jt | | | -----Original Message----- | | From: midrange-l-admin@midrange.com | | [mailto:midrange-l-admin@midrange.com]On Behalf Of jt | | Sent: Monday, December 17, 2001 10:27 AM | | To: midrange-l@midrange.com | | Subject: RE: Modify SYSVAL QSYSLIBL | | | | | | Al, | | | | Don't know what the precise odds are.
