RE: Add libraries to QSYSLIBL or QUSRLIBL

[CWilt@xxxxxxxxxxxx]

Carel,

Thanks for the reply; I considered that but the tools are interrelated.  So
it is quite possible that one tool will call the other with will call the
third.  Also, I don't know that I can assume that each tool is using only
the command interface of the other tools.  

Also cause for concern is the fact that the production libraries aren't
carried into a submitted batch job and it is likely that these tools will be
used in batch together.

Lastly, I don't know that I even like the idea of copying 15 commands into
QGPL ;-)  Plus one of the tools has a menu interface, would I have to copy
that too?

The idea of creating duplicate commands in QGPL bothers me.  Is it really
considered a good idea?

Charles
