RE: Using QUSLOBJ API

While it's true that using a special value for the library, such as
*ALL, *ALLUSR, *LIBL, or *USRLIBL will most likely hit the size limit
of a user space, the OP was referring to one library, and it seems
that everyone else, including you, were as well. This is why my post was

limited to that.

Bad assumption. I was not.

The best way IMO to handle using any of the special values for processing
multiple libraries is to use two user spaces. One to get a list of

matching

libraries, and one to get a list of objects for each library, one library

at

a time. ...

Your "best way" sounds reasonable. But it's not necessarily everyone's
"best way." The Open list of Objects may be considered by some to be a
better way.

By the way, IBM's documentation for QUSLOBJ does not indicate that
generic names are allowed for the library name. Because it does not
say that it is allowed, I've never tried to use generic names for the
library list with that API. The approach I mentioned above does allow
generic library names ...

Not sure which doc you are reading. Here is the first part of that
discussion from
http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/iseries/v7r1m0/index.jsp?topic=%2Fa
pis%2Fquslobj.htm

(I've been using *ALLUSR since the API was introduced (V2R3, I think).)

*ALL All libraries in the auxiliary storage pools defined by the
auxiliary storage pool (ASP) control parameter are searched.
*ALLUSR All user libraries in the auxiliary storage pools (ASPs)
defined by the auxiliary storage pool (ASP) control parameter are searched.
User libraries are all libraries with names that do not begin with the
letter Q. For information about the libraries included, see *ALLUSR in
Generic library names.

(et cetera. Other libraries mentioned are: *CURLIB, *LIBL, *USRLIBL)

Lighten up a little, Okay? Vern's comment was in jest (or I read it that
way) I responded to that in jest, and now it's gotten way out of hand. I
think the OP has what he needs, or will come back with additional questions.
