RE: 36EE Files Library Determination

Just now looked at command help. Pretty useless to only return the default libraries for FLIB and SLIB.

Unfortunately, the command returns what is defined as the default (usually
QS36F), not what the current files library is.

Hate to be old school (trust me!), but is there an API that will return
the
value of the Files Library for the 36EE? In OCL one can use ?FLIB? to
retrieve the default library into which objects will be created or
retrieved. I checked the API list (we are on 5.1), but couldn't find
anything that applied, but lots of APIs that returned the library lists.



I wrote an RPG IV program that reads through the user portion of the
library
list. If I find QS36F (the normal value), I assume that I'm in
production.
Otherwise, I look for TSTQS36F, which is my test environment version and,
if
found, assume I'm in test. If I can't find either (or I find both), I
assume the situation is fubar and abort.



Just would like a more accurate method.

When they write a history of the significant events that have happened, I
hope they spell my name right.
