Do we know whether OS/400 etc expect QTEMP anywhere in particular in the

No, and I'm not sure it even has to be in *LIBL. I asked IBM about QTEMP location some time ago and got back no particular recommendation. I haven't received my append back yet but unless you edited it then it looks like the last few paragraphs got chopped by something. Here they are again:

Only two of these objects are visible via DSPLIB QTEMP. All the rest are internal things.

I expect internal code finds QTEMP from the pointer in the WCB rather than the *LIBL but probably not a good idea to remove QTEMP entirely unless you *KNOW* nothing in the job needs it.

For what it's worth I'm in the "stick QTEMP at the top of *USRLIBL" camp and I think those who put it in *SYSLIBL should be shot.

And who (or what) is BL?

Perhaps this makes more sense now you can see the complete sentence?
