Re: Using QRPLOBJ Library

AFAIK there is no end-user way to redirect programs the way it's done 
with QRPLOBJ. My understanding is that jobs that are using a program 
have resolved the address of it. Either the system changes the resolved 
address in the running job to point to a renamed program, or it keeps 
the program's address and assigns it a new name while putting the new 
program at a different address. Something like that. I've not taken the 
time to use SST to see what happens.

The only thing useful to do with QRPLOBJ for us civilians is to delete 
all instances of a changed program, IMO. I have had to do that 
occasionally to clean up things when debugging, especially with embedded 
SQL programs, it seems. Easier than signoff/singon sometimes.

I know this doesn't help!!
