Is the RPG qualifying the library as part of a USROPN? I've done
this if I don't find the file the library list. If it isn't in the

No. There is no USROPN, no explicit qualification anywhere in the source, and it's compiled on a compiler on which I couldn't (without an OVRDBF and a USROPN) qualify a database file if I wanted to.

And it's evidently been doing this, completely unnoticed, in every other ILE RPG program that uses a DSPF as well; the only reason why it came up here is because it's qualified to a library that doesn't exist on the customer box.
