RE: 250 libraries again (was V3R1 QUSRTOOL, *PRDLOD)

["Goodbar, Loyd (AFS-Water Valley)" <LGoodbar@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I wonder why IBM didn't add an additional parameter to the RTVJOBA command
call LUSRLIBL (long user *LIBL). That way no existing code needed changing,
and forced you to modify the program only if you needed the additional
libraries. Just like any other enhancement should work. Lobotomies for all!

<stuff snipped>

                 DCL        VAR(&USRLIBL) TYPE(*CHAR) LEN(275)
                 DCL        VAR(&CMD) TYPE(*CHAR) LEN(6000)
                 RTVJOBA    USRLIBL(&USRLIBL)
                 CHGLIBL    LIBL(MYLIB1 MYLIB2 QGPL QTEMP)

    /*  Do my thing, sing my song, yada, yada, yada                      */

                 CHGVAR     &CMD ('CHGLIBL LIBL(' *CAT &USRLIBL *TCAT ')')
                 CALL       PGM(QCMDEXC) PARM(&CMD 6000)

For this brilliant enhancement, we provide no award.  The people who dreamt
this up have obviously already been to Mayo for their lobotomies.

I cannot believe that for the first time in 22 years, you have gone out of
your way to break certain users code, and I urge you to add the appropriate
support to the system to avoid this.
