Good luck there.
Glad that you found a workaround with the CHGSYSLIBL.
ps:  We combined 14 separate AS/400's for each manufacturing division on

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.  ;)

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.

RE: [WDSCI-L] LPEX Editor for RPG IV






Hi Rob,

I'm actually in full agreement with you.  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".

Bruce

Don't mean this to come off flippant, but Do you really need so many 
custom libraries at the 'system' level?  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.

RE: [WDSCI-L] LPEX Editor for RPG IV






Hi Joep,
 
But does it manipulate more than CURLIB and USRLIBL?  Here's the
production/normal LIBL I have:
 
Library     Type
YJOBD       SYS 
YSYSTEMS    SYS 
QSYS        SYS 
QSYS2       SYS 
QHLPSYS     SYS 
QUSRSYS     SYS 
EXTERMIN8   SYS 
Y1BAV       CUR 
QTEMP       USR 
DTSSRC      USR 
 
Here's the library list I have when connectioned to the SYSTEST subsystem.
The test subsystem itself forces the YSYSTEMST to the top:
 
Library     Type
YSYSTEMST   SYS 
YJOBD       SYS 
YSYSTEMS    SYS 
QSYS        SYS 
QSYS2       SYS 
QHLPSYS     SYS 
QUSRSYS     SYS 
EXTERMIN8   SYS 
Y1BAV       CUR 
QTEMP       USR 
DTSSRC      USR

                 Bruce,
 
                 Because I regularly need to switch environments, I have a 


small
library list
                 setting program for every environment I use. 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.)
