Re: Scanning job descriptions

2008/5/1 Alan Shore <AlanShore@xxxxxxxx>:

Morning everyone
We have a 3rd party vendor that is supplying us with a new release of their
software which is contained in one library.
The new library name is completely different than the older version, and we
cannot re-name the older version to something, then rename the newer
version as the same name as the original version.
In other words, we CANNOT do the following
older version library named libold renamed to liboldold
newer version library named libnew renamed to libold.
My question to the audience is
is there a way for me to scan ALL of the Job Descriptions library lists
programmatically, or do I have to display each job description one at a
time and look at the library lists that way (please, please, please let
there be some programmatic method)

Hi Alan

I've done similar using a program that runs as a PDM option. In our
situation all the users job descriptions are in QGPL, so it was easy
to filter on them. I have programs that drop the details of the *JOBD
into a file and that strip out/swap libraries as required. I can email
them to you if you're interested. They use commands from my open
source tools, but you could work round that if you didn't want to
restore the package library to get them
