RE: obtain first library name of object in *LIBL

Why not use the API? https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/en/ssw_i5_54/apis/qusrobjd.htm

I'm looking for the most efficient , most direct approach for pulling
the first library name of an object in a *LIBL.

here is why...

the rpg pgm receives a lib and table name as a parm, - user may
specify blank or *libl for the lib parm...

If blank or *libl I'll need to determine that library for the table
name from my *libl.

What I am eventually doing needs an implicit lib name... it is nothing
that *libl will work with.
