Re: CL Swap Library List routine...

["Al Barsa/Barsa Consulting" <barsa@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

The common sticking point (there are many others, but this is the most
frequent), is to use RTVJOBA to get a job's library list, and retrieve it
into a variable that's 275 bytes long.

I indicated to IBM that making this longer would be a problem, and they
disagreed.  So I complained louder and louder until I got someone's
attention, but I was up to Tom Jarosh before anyone took me seriously.

I indicated to IBM that they had to put a fix into V5R1 to limit the number
of libraries used in a list, and IBM came back to me and said that this
would take six person months to implement.  So I went off, and wrote the 22
lines of CL code necessary to diagnose this condition.  This got them very
pissed.

They came back, and put a fix into V5R1, and made the default to have the
fix shipped.  They changed the fix to be a different fix in V5R2, but the
default is to have it turned off.  This is a good thing, because my kids
need to go to expensive colleges.

The real issue is that you have to fix your own code to handle this.
There's a TAA Tool to scan for uses in your code, see:

Were currently running 4.5 and have plans to upgrade 5.1 sometime this
summer, so I was looking for a piece of code that could handle the standard
number of library list now, plus the new larger list later...

But what I would like to do is this...

In my CL, copy the users current library list to memory, and then replace
it
with what I need to do, and then when I'm done, or if there is an
unexpected
error, copy the old library list back...

Is there an easy/clear way to perform this?

Thanks, tim....
