Re: Sanity check: RTVOBJD *LIBL/ABCMONRG RTNLIB(&LIBNAM), then CALL &LIBNAM/ABCMONRG???

*ALLUSR isn't a option for RTVOBJD

That’s true, it would only find it in the list, then again I almost always
use *ALLUSR then parse the results. That also allows the check on
nefarious object referred earlier.

Almost always this is a call to a program that returns a value.

We also routinely scan IBM libraries for object that don’t belong there.

Jim,
How would that code sample find an object which is not in your library
list? The RTVOBJD, as coded, would not.

—Or— is it assuming the library may not be in the library list and the
original developer used this technique to find it?

I’ll do something like this for utility programs where the library is
often not in any lib list.

 It is using the library list to find the program object.

So no, the call could be unqualified and call the same program.

Subject: Sanity check: RTVOBJD *LIBL/ABCMONRG RTNLIB(&LIBNAM), then

CALL

&LIBNAM/ABCMONRG???

Code snippet of a production CLP program I am currently modifying:

DCL VAR(&LIBNAM) TYPE(*CHAR) LEN(10)
RTVOBJD OBJ(ABCMONRG) OBJTYPE(*PGM) RTNLIB(&LIBNAM)
CALL PGM(&LIBNAM/ABCMONRG)

Is there *any* scenario where "CALL ABCMONRG" without the first two
statements doesn't always call the program from the same library?

&LIBNAM is not used anywhere else in the program.
There are no intervening statements between the RTVOBJD and CALL

commands.

There is enough complexity in other parts of the program that tells me

the

original programmer was no dummy. Am I the dummy?
