Joel -

Perhaps you need to better understand how naming conventions work, instead 
of slamming the best and most secure machine and operating system ever 
created...

You are not going to make any friend or get much assistance here with your 
attitude.

"I fail to see how having only 1 level of libraries matter. "


One level of hierarchy seems antiquated in that all other OS's allow many 
levels.

For example, any other OS could have the following folders:


PROD env
-----
JDE 9.0        containing program lib + data lib + config lib etc
JDE 8.0 containing program lib + data lib + config lib etc
SAP 2.0 containing program lib + data lib + config lib etc
Lawson 3.0 containing program lib + data lib + config lib etc


TEST env
------
Ditto above



DEV env
-----
Ditto above




It doesn't seem possible to do this on iseries as a library cannot have a 
hierarchal group above or below, only one level is allowed.  So people use 
multiple LPARs or boxes to get around this constraint that doesn't exist on 
other OS's.

I've worked in all three types...just depends on the size of the company.

I fail to see how having only 1 level of libraries matter.  For that
matter, every single RDBMS I'm familiar with only allows a single level of
schemas.

Once the shop gets big enough, separate LPARs or boxes is probably most
common.
