I've always had to define libs when using interactive SQL.  Through Sysi
Nav or ODBC it works as per the standards suggest.  Had to do it since
V4R5 all the way to V5R4.

Subject: Annoying default library behavior in interactive SQL

Hi.

Somehow I have managed to make interactive SQL forget how to use the
library list to find a file.  For example:
    SELECT * FROM SOMEFILE
elicits the following response:
    SOMEFILE in CMIDEV type *FILE not found.

CMIDEV happens to be the name of the system; in addition, there is a
library on the system actually called CMIDEV.  That library is not in my
*LIBL, nor is it my *CURLIB.

Interactive SQL behaves in this annoying fashion regardless of whether I
am using *SYS or *SQL naming.

When I run "SELECT CURRENT SCHEMA FROM SYSIBM/SYSDUMMY1" I get "*LIBL"
in response, which is what I expected to see, although SQL is apparently
not using this.

In fact, when I "SET CURRENT SCHEMA = DMCLIB" (or any other library that
exists on the system) and try a SELECT statement without a library
qualifier, I get the same annoying message.  It is as if SQL is ignoring
the value of CURRENT SCHEMA...?

When I sign on under a different user profile I get "SOMEFILE in *LIBL
type *FILE not found." which is what I wish I was seeing under my main
profile.

This is a V5R3M5 box in case it matters... although I am pretty sure it
is just a boneheaded config change I must've made a while back.  I just
can't figure out what I did!

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
David Cawthon
