Library list issue solved. DUH - I never thought to look for a CHGSYSLIBL command. That lets me put a library above all others in the library list and only for that session (not system wide). This may not run the stuff exactly where I want it, but the end result is correct. Verify gets the library list I need, using the correct job description gets the batch compiles to run in the job queue I want. Thanks everyone for the ideas. (I really should look for simple solutions...) -----Original Message----- From: Bruce.Vest Sent: Thursday, March 03, 2005 10:18 AM To: 'Websphere Development Studio Client for iSeries' Subject: RE: [WDSCI-L] LPEX Editor for RPG IV We've got a number of different environments today. The bulk of our AS400's are all setup the same. One user environment per location, each location having 1 (or 2) AS400's. (Lucky ones having 2 with the second being a hot failover.) We've got a few systems now that have multiple user environments on them. This is almost new concept here. When management decided to put multiple environments on a system with each area having it's own library lists (another new concept), the only way I could get it to fit with their approval was use the TELNET exit programs. All 5250 connectivity is Client Access TCP/IP based. This let me use the telnet exits to force a specific device name which in turn forces the specific subsystem, job description, etc. allowing me to kill connectivity to an application by killing that application's version of QINTER. Also helps with performance monitoring, etc. I'd like to push them along at a faster rate but management can only handle so many new concepts at a time. ;) -----Original Message----- From: wdsci-l-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:wdsci-l-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of rob@xxxxxxxxx Sent: Thursday, March 03, 2005 10:08 AM To: Websphere Development Studio Client for iSeries Subject: RE: [WDSCI-L] LPEX Editor for RPG IV I guess your argument could be to support an opening into the C/S, and web, world of programming. There's probably a PHB somewhere that loves this system library list method because it forces all the teams to - make sure they follow a strict naming convention on new workstation sessions - so that they get into the right subsystem, thus breaking down divisions by subsystem - so not only does the library list then work, but they can do stuff like kill a subsystem to lock out a division for backups, period end, etc. Good luck.

Personally, I don't see any reason for more than a SINGLE custom library in the SYSLIBL - as you said, for customizations of IBM commands typically found in QSYS. This is an inherited setup. This company has been using 400's since the days of the S36 I think. There have been a number of people come and go in the systems team. We've got 50+ systems scattered all over the continental US. I would like nothing better than to clean up a large part of this environment (starting with LIBL issues).. The hard part is convincing management that the overall environmental setup on the AS400's needs revamped because what worked great for a lot of years is not always a viable approach to things anymore. It took me a couple years before I could even get an RPG IV syntax program into production because everything was in RPG III and it worked. This was about three years ago believe it or not. The application guys still aren't allowed to use COBOL/ILE - they are stuck with COBOL/400 limitations which means no true timestamp data type, etc. They have to patch it together. I'm S L O W L Y getting things changed but its usually a fight until I can PROVE that I'm not breaking anything by doing things "different".

I've seen 1 in some shops to override IBM commands with custom commands but that's about it. Or do you do something weird like continue to use the default names for job queues, output queues, etc for all your users (like QBATCH, etc) and then override the defaults with a string of initial library lists that work if, and only if, the user connects via 5250 to a specified subsystem and, heaven forbid if they ever connect using a C/S tool? I'm not trying to sound too critical (although I can see how it sounds that way), just trying to understand.

I make entries for 'CALL MYLIB/environment_program' in the 'iSeries Commands' subtree. First thing to do when I start using WDSC is setting the right environment. (At one point I even succeeded in having the 'iSeries Commands' branch appear before the 'iSeries Objects' branch by messing with the XML, but that was reset after an update.)
