And what if LibraryWeGot is in the system portion, the product, or current
library?
RMVLIBLE will not remove those, and you'll end up in a loop.

Would it not make more sense to:

RMVLIBLE LibraryWeWant (using a MonMsg to catch the case where
LibraryWeWant is not already in the LIBL)
ADDLIBLE LibraryWeWant *FIRST
BEFORE opening any files?

Also, the code you have below will try to add LibraryWeWant *LAST more
than once.if the file is in more than one library already in your LIBL.

We have a situation in which an RPG program is checking the library on
an open file, to make sure it's open in the right library. If it isn't,
it closes out the "wrong" instance of the file, shells out commands to
remove the "wrong" library from the *LIBL and add the "right" one, then
reopens the file in the "right" library.

In short, to pseudocode, with LibraryWeGot derived from open feedback on
a file:

WHILE LibraryWeWant <> LibraryWeGot
close all the files
shell out "RMVLIBLE " + LibraryWeGot
shell out "ADDLIBLE " + LibraryWeWant + "*LAST"
reopen all the files

(And EXTFILE clauses on the F-specs are not an option here, for reasons
I'd rather not go into.)

At any rate, I just discovered a loophole: if the file on which we're
getting the open feedback has a level check issue, the exception stops
us before we reach the block that checks to see if we're in the right
library.

Assuming I catch the exception, is there an easy way to find out what
"LibraryWeGot" is?
