RE: CLP - coding qualified object references

["Shaw, David" <dshaw@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dave,

If the parameter is a single value (such as *USRPRF in your &jobd variable),
then plug '*N' into your library variable.  This works great, I've used it
many times.

Carel, I know that *USRPRF is a special value and not a qualified name, and
that the library parameter should appear empty on the SBMJOB prompt for the
*JOBD parm when *USRPRF is specified.  Is there no way to code this with
only a single SBMJOB statement ?  Must there be two SBMJOB statements coded
in the CL ... one to be executed if *JOBD = *USRPRF, the other if not,
enabling exclusion of &JOBDLIB from the *USRPRF version ?  In my actual
application (not the test code provided here) there is the same issue for
the *OUTQ parm, and I want to offer prompted and non-prompted versions of
the command, so it will get ugly with all the permutations.
