RE: Retrieve file library at run time

Gary,

I wondered if you were local when I saw your e-mail address the other day.

Thanks to you and Scott for the information.  I thought the library should
be in the INFDS but when I look at a source member that is supposed to have
all the fields already defined it wasn't there.  I should have started with
the manuals.

Thanks again.

Rick

Rick,

I just noticed you're just down the road from me.

API QUSROBJI does not return the library associated with the file that
is open in the program. Instead, it returns the library of the first
file of the name specified that is found in your library list (presuming
you specify *LIBL). List Open Files (QDMLOPNF) is the API with that
information.

You can use the INFDS positions 83-92 have file name, 93-102 have
library.
