RE: Add libraries to QSYSLIBL or QUSRLIBL

[Al Barsa <barsa@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

If you are going to add libraries to QSYSLIBL, just remember that you can
never use those libraries in a CHGLIBL, ADDLIBLE, RMVLIBLE or have them
specified in a *JOBD.

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
