Good point - I was blinkered by my own use of SELECT PGM() Rob Scott Lead Developer Rocket Software 275 Grove Street * Newton, MA 02466-2272 * USA Tel: +1.617.614.2305 Email: rsc...@rs.com Web: www.rocketsoftware.com -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:IBM-MAIN@bama.ua.edu] On Behalf Of Walt Farrell Sent: 22 July 2011 15:28 To: IBM-MAIN@bama.ua.edu Subject: Re: dynamic STEPLIB On Fri, 22 Jul 2011 12:45:24 +0000, Rob Scott <rsc...@rocketsoftware.com> wrote: >Products that can be invoked under LIBDEF for ISPLLIB must be coded to >recognize and support it - otherwise any bog-standard LOADs could be >issued without awareness of the tasklib DCB requirements and you end up with >an S806.

I believe that as long as you invoke the program via ISPEXEC SELECT CMD(...) rather than ISPEXEC SELECT PGM(...) then the program does not need to worry about the LIBDEF for ISPLLIB, Rob. Also, of course, if there's just one library involved and if you can invoke the program via the TSO/E CALL command instead of ISPEXEC SELECT PGM then the program won't need to worry about its LOADs. In both cases the LOADs will simply work, because both CALL and ISPEXEC SELECT CMD establish real tasklibs. -- Walt Farrell IBM STSM, z/OS Security Design ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@bama.ua.edu with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@bama.ua.edu with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
