There is an additional difference:  The commands in the *PRV libraries
have an attribute indicating whether they are runnable or not.  For
example

Restricted to CRTCLPGM for TGTRLS  . . :   V4R2M0

That's what causes the CPD0118 message.

Also, I'm not so sure that the SEPT cannot change but at 6500 entries it
is unlikely to change.  The SEPT in general is not an exposed interface,
although there are C includes QLIEPT and QLIEPTI that expose some of the
SEPT entries.  A cursory search through the documentation failed to find a
reference to these includes so I'm not sure how stable they are.

Regards,
Simon Coulter.
