Re: QBRM appears in library list as a Product entry and a User entry

I've never noticed that before and I have verified the behavior. Clearly the BRMS developers have a reason to add QBRM to the bottom of the library list, but honestly I have never seen it cause a problem. Since you have 250 slots in your library list, you care because?

Many product IBM i commands supplied by IBM have a product library. For
example if you do a DSPCMD QPDA/STRPDM you will see that it's product
library is QPDA. When you type in STRPDM your library list may look like
this:
Library Type
QSYS SYS
QSYS2 SYS
QHLPSYS SYS
QUSRSYS SYS
QPDA PRD
ROB CUR
QTEMP USR
QGPL USR
ROUTINES USR

Notice the PRD?
When you F3 then it returns to this:
Library Type
QSYS SYS
QSYS2 SYS
QHLPSYS SYS
QUSRSYS SYS
ROB CUR
QTEMP USR
QGPL USR
ROUTINES USR

However when I use a BRMS command it will look like this
Library Type
QSYS SYS
QSYS2 SYS
QHLPSYS SYS
QUSRSYS SYS
QBRM PRD
ROB CUR
QTEMP USR
QGPL USR
ROUTINES USR
QBRM USR
Notice that QBRM is both a PRD and a USR library?
When I hit F3 QBRM remains a user library
Library Type
QSYS SYS
QSYS2 SYS
QHLPSYS SYS
QUSRSYS SYS
ROB CUR
QTEMP USR
QGPL USR
ROUTINES USR
QBRM USR

My joblog shows this:
CPC2196-Library QBRM added to library list.

Tried opening a PMR and was basically told so what. They do that for
performance reasons. I fail to see how having something both as a product
library and as a user library entry enhances performance. And, it's not
like we run BRMS programs outside of commands. I was given a suggestion,
that if I am sure I have no immediate plans to go back into BRMS with that
job then I could
RCLACTGRP ACTGRP(Q1ABRMS)
and that will remove QBRM from the library list. I tested it. It does.

Granted, this may seem minor.
Am I missing something on why this should be in the user portion of the
library list?

I did submit a DCR.
