Re: Using QRPLOBJ Library

I think the system handle this for you in RPG or RPGLE programs, Not for
CL programs. Any time you change a CL program the running one will fail.

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!!

Hello list.

I have a situation where I have a program that was compiled on a

different

system that I want to move into place. The program may be in use

when I

want to install the new version. Obviously, just deleting the

program and

moving the new one in would not be a great idea. Would it work to

move

the old version of the program into the QRPLOBJ library and then

install

the new version?

Does anyone have any experience with doing this kind of program

update? I

know the compiler will do this for me, but the program is already

compiled

when I'm moving it into production.
