RE: Modify SYSVAL QSYSLIBL (Walden)

[barsa@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

Frank,

I agree with Walden, but please look closely.  There is nothing different
about the *PRV libraries.  The difference is in the command objects that
they contain, which cannot be executed.

As a user community, we could ask IBM for an attribute in the *LIB object
that prevents them from being in QSYSLIBL or QUSRLIBL, but I think that is
too much to ask for, and IBM has bigger fish to fry.  As I indicated
yesterday, I spoke with a developer in Rochester, and as he said, someone
has to take some responsibility!

I beg to differ.  Try running a command out of a *PRV lib.
If the system has the info to prevent commands being executed
then it has the info to prevent the *PRV lib being added
to the LibL.
Is there not a check presently to validate that a library in
fact exists, then how hard is it to put in a check to ensure
the library is of the right type.
