Re: Manipulation of system portion of the thread's library list.

Hello all,

We have some jobs in our production environment that
change the system portion of the thread's library list.

We are trying to manipulate the system portion of the thread's library list
via the  RTVJOBA command

RTVJOBA SYSLIBL(&SYSLIBL) ...

Where the &SYSLIBL is a character variable 165 bytes long (a maximum of 15
libraries)

and the CHGSYSLIBL command

CHGSYSLIBL &LibName *ADD/*REMOVE option.


Pretty straight forward


However we have not been able to resolve the following problem:

Say our System portion of the thread's library list is:
1. PRDSYS,  2. QSYS,  3. LIBABC,  4. LIBXYZ

Our utility program runs and saves this list.


Later, .., a program runs and decides to remove LIBABC

CHGSYSLIBL LIB( LIBABC ) OPTION( *REMOVE )

The new System portion of the thread's library list is:
1. PRDSYS,  2. QSYS,  3. LIBXYZ

Later, ..., Our utility program will try to restore the
original System portion of the thread's library list

CHGSYSLIBL LIB ( LIBABC ) OPTION( *ADD )

The new System portion of the thread's library list is

1. LIBABC, 2. PRDSYS, 3. QSYS, 4. LIBXYZ

However the Library SEQUENCE is different


Has anybody been able to resolve this problem ?

I have searched the system library list API (s)
and have not found anything yet ...

Any help will be greatly appreciated.
