RE: What's the purpose of the #LIBRARY library?

You mean Dick? Boy, I used to love sitting in his sessions at COMMON,
especially the ones in which he explained how the OCL interpreter worked
(remember nested nests?). He told us once that the S/34 was originally
supposed to be a System/3 Model 4, but as they got further into the design
the team realized it was too different from the S/3 so they christened a new
system, rather than a model.

Charles,

As others have already pointed out, these are 36EE libraries. What I wanted
to add is that #LIBRARY itself is pretty empty. The real "meat" is in the
QSSP library (why? Don't know.). Anyway, if you have that library and are
feeling masochistic, look in the QS36PRC source PF to see how the developers
(Dick Mustain comes to mind) wrote system procedures/commands (all
interpretive) for the 34 and 36. Which is how a lot of us learned to write
flexible (but hairy) procedures back then. Reminds me of some DOS and Unix
commands I've seen.

I've got a non-production system with a #LIBRARY library...

And a production system with
#CGULIB
#DFULIB
#DSULIB
#LIBRARY
#SDALIB
#SEULIB

Google has been useless, as the # is ignored...

So what's the story behind #LIBRARY? I'm thinking it's S36 or S38
related...

Thanks!
Charles
