Could you could use OS/400 security and *EXCLUDE production ids from the test libraries? That way you would at least catch the problem if it occurred again. Of course, it won't work if all your production ids have *ALLOBJ authority.

We discovered a problem today that occurred because a production program
was adding a test library to the library list. This wasn't a major problem
until we added a copy of a file used by that program to said test library.
Unknown to us until today, that production program was using the test file
instead of the production one. We have fixed everything now, but I am
looking for suggestions on to how to prevent this from happening again. At
the very least I want to know what "best practices" are recommended to
prevent this sort of problem.

Thanks,
Matt
