Dennis--

Generally, we put QTEMP at the top of our library lists. This allows a job to create work files and have them automatically selected over the files in the permanent libraries.

QGPL is normally system-type files; we place it nearer the bottom of the list.

QUSRSYS wasn't in your list, but we place it near QGPL (usually before QGPL); this is user-created system-type files (ie outqs, jobqs, etc.).

Data files "should" be above program libraries, in case a data file slips into the program library by mistake. We normally lump data files, data areas, and data queues in the same library-- these are all objects that can be changed during the course of normal operations, so they can be in the same library.

So for production jobs I'd recommend:

        QTEMP
        DBLIB
        SELIB
        RTLIB
        QUSRSYS
        QGPL

When running 'fixit' type maintenance programs I will usually run jobs with QTEMP at the bottom of the list to make sure the fix really hits the permanent database files.

When setting up a new JOBD what is the "best" sequence for the libraries on
the library list?
 In particular I am refering to libraries like QGPL and QTEMP. Should the be
at the top of the LIBL or towards the bottom?
 In the following example in which sequence would be best?
 We have our runtime objects (*pgm, *DSPF, *PRTF) in library RTLIB .
Our database (*PF, *LF) in library DBLIB, and other objects (*Dtaara, *dtaq)
in SELIB.
 should the *LIBL look like, QGPL, SELIB, RTLIB, DBLIB, QTEMP?
