Re: QUSRJOBI example - retrieve library list

[Scott Klement <midrange-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The advantage to using QUSRJOBI over RTVJOBA is really compatibility. 
let's say, hypothetically, IBM decides to increase the max size of a 
library list again, thus time to 1000 libraries.

If you use RTVJOBA, then you'll probably have to rewrite your code.  Or, 
at a minimum, your existing code won't support the extra libraries in 
the library list.

However, if you use QUSRJOBI, you can write your code so that it doesn't 
have to be changed at all, and will automatically increase to the new 
library list size.  QUSRJOBI is more complex, but it's also more versatile.
