RE: 36 Environment Library Issue

I seem to have made a career the last 15 years working in and around the
36EE. Until this scenario, though, I had always set the files library at a
higher level; usually at signon or through a menu command. Never paid any
attention to when it took effect.

Thanks for the education, Doug.

Jerry,

Thanks. I hadn't thought about bypassing the command and going straight to

the OCL statement. It's sorta odd (to me, anyway) that if one prompts

(F4)

on FLIB the Session parameter is not an available option.

I think FLIB was intended more as a convenience thing from the command line,
where it would then take affect anyway since it was a first level
procedure. It is similar to the SLIB procedure, which does not prompt for
session yes vs no either. I tend to only use SLIB or FLIB when at a command
line, and otherwise use // FILELIB or // LIBRARY.

Sadly, I still remember too much about the S36EE. :(
