But I can't seem to figure out how I can use a single program for both
Production and Test.

The RPG program can tell from the uri environmental variable REQUEST_URI
if
it should be accessing the test or production libraries ( different
libraries on the other LPAR, same file )

A given job will only ever run TEST or PROD and so the program won't
have
to switch files.

If I was doing something like this on a local machine, I'd be using file
overrides or qualified opens set up at initialisation but I don't really
know how to achieve it remotely using 3-part SQL.

Has anyone else had this requirement?
Am I missing something obvious?

I haven't gone down the route of trying to build dynamic SQL yet, I was
hoping for an easier higher level option ( like override, alias ) before
I
go down that route as some of the SQL is already a bit involved.


By default, your program is connected to the local database. You
can explicitly connect to the remote database and you do not lose your
local database connection. Thus, you can then switch back and forth
between the two connections as needed. Your other SQL doesn't even have
to use 3-part references as long as you don't need to access tables on
both systems at the same time. Alternately just requires switching
connections (SET CONNECTION). But, at the same time requires 3-part
references.
