Re: Job behaviour RPGLE vs CLLE

I've noticed a behaviour that I don't understand, and would like some
clarification/explanation:
...
If I create a new child program with the same name and place it in LIB1
(which is earlier in the library list) I get different behaviours from
the 2 parent programs:

The RPGLE code continues to execute the child from LIB2, ignoring the
object in LIB1.
The CLLE code finds the new code in LIB1 and starts running it next time
it loops.
...


The RPG behaviour is documented in the "Parsing Program Names on a Call"
in the "Call Operations" section that's pointed to from the CALL opcode
documentation in the ILE RPG Reference. 
http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/iseries/v5r4/topic/books_web/c0925086514.htm#Header_673

I don't know if the CL behaviour is documented anywhere, but the CL
behaviour is what I would call "the expected behaviour" and so maybe it
doesn't need to be documented.
