Re: HELP!! Calling EXTPGM before and after changing the library list ... -- RPG400-L

Hi Charles -

Now I just ran into this, so I haven't got real deep.  But, when I got the
level check, I did check the current library list of the job and it did have
MYOTHLIB first.  Also, I used DSPFD and DSPPGMREF to make sure that the file
levels were what was expected for each version of the program.

At this point, it seems that my ILE RPG program resolved the EXTPGM at the
first run; thus finding the standard copy. When it was called again after
changing the library list the name wasn't re-resolved.

Is this really what is going on????  Or am I crazy???

If it is working as it is supposed to, how do I get around it?

It is working as it is supposed to. See http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/iseries/v5r2/ic2924/books/c092508427.htm#Header_662 and read from the paragraph that starts "Program references are grouped to avoid the overhead of resolving to the target program."

You could have one call without a library name and the other call with the library name MYOTHLIB along with the program name. Of course this has hazards of its own.
