RE: QCLSRC, QRPGSRC, etc... best practice?

I personally don't like to have all those libraries in my library list (we use job descriptions to set library lists). In some cases, you can't update the software if it is in the user's library list (until all users have signed off).

I see a couple familiar ones there. :) Just an FYI, hardcoding the library isn't needed for MAILTOOL at least. As long as your library list is set up right. That makes testing new versions easier.

Many of our source programs include copy source from various 3rd party
products.
Every 3rd party may not follow the same source rules.
Source is stored within a library for that product.
Sometimes, an upgrade of a 3rd party product may require us to
recompile to include their updated copy source.

I was afraid of that.

Let me repeat that back with different words.

If all my source, including CPYSRC, is in QDEV and I am promoting only
objects then I can write /COPY QDEV,CPYSRC?

If promoting the source for recompile then I must know the target file
name of the CPYSRC; and an added crucial step is mandated?

That seems awkward but workable; *FILE would be an easier default. imho.

Inside mysrc custinqr, you'd have
