Hi, The common sticking point (there are many others, but this is the most frequent), is to use RTVJOBA to get a job's library list, and retrieve it into a variable that's 275 bytes long. I indicated to IBM that making this longer would be a problem, and they disagreed. So I complained louder and louder until I got someone's attention, but I was up to Tom Jarosh before anyone took me seriously. I indicated to IBM that they had to put a fix into V5R1 to limit the number of libraries used in a list, and IBM came back to me and said that this would take six person months to implement. So I went off, and wrote the 22 lines of CL code necessary to diagnose this condition. This got them very pissed. They came back, and put a fix into V5R1, and made the default to have the fix shipped. They changed the fix to be a different fix in V5R2, but the default is to have it turned off. This is a good thing, because my kids need to go to expensive colleges. The real issue is that you have to fix your own code to handle this.

But what I would like to do is this... In my CL, copy the users current library list to memory, and then replace it with what I need to do, and then when I'm done, or if there is an unexpected error, copy the old library list back... Is there an easy/clear way to perform this? Thanks, tim....
