Actually, according to Peter Relson, the documented function is to manage Load Library Directories. At this time it is not supported or documented to use anything else. So if source library directories are also being managed, then - you know the words. IBM at this time does not support or document that source library directories can be managed. However, it might be a good idea if you submit a requirement for source library directories to be included.

That's an interesting, but incorrect, statement (even presuming "many" was supposed to be "manages"). LLA manages the directories of load libraries as well as modules within those libraries.. It is conceivable you could get away with directing LLA to manage the directories of non-load-libraries, but that is not LLA's documented function. Peter Relson z/OS Core Technology Design Item #111004 (4 Sep 2009 07:41) - Re: LLA update I stand by my statement that it is not LLA's documented function to manage the directories of non-load-libraries (emphasis on "documented").. The change from "linklist" to "library" in the name corresponds to allowing you to manage modules in libraries that are not part of the lnklst. That is not to say that we have any intention of doing something to break current usage. I understand well the major benefits of having cached directory entries. It might be a good idea to have you users submit a share requirement to have us acknowledge and document your use case.
