Minimum: QSYS
         QSYS2
         QHLPSYS
         QUSRSYS

plus one site specific library at the top containing overrides for IBM 
commands and other things that affect the SYSTEM. Also possibly a 
language library although they are better handled by the SYSLIBLE 
keyword on a subsystem description. May also include 3rd-party 
libraries that provide 'system-like' functions but I'd avoid that if 
possible.

Minimum: QTEMP
         QGPL

plus one or more utility libraries and any library needed by most 
users. Note: QTEMP and QGPL do not belong in QSYSLIBL--they are user 
libraries. (Even though many sites do put these in QSYSLIBL to free up 
2 slots in the user portion of the library list.)

Job descriptions are usually created for specific jobs therefore they 
should either inherit from *SYSVAL or have QTEMP, QGPL, plus job 
specific libraries.

There isn't such a thing unless you build your own 'library-list' 
objects. But yes, application specific libraries. These can be set via 
job descriptions, from some external source such as a data area or 
file, or via an application initial program.
