I have come across *many* software products and home-grown utilities that do
not handle being invoked under LIBDEF very well - and, as Walt pointed out
earlier, were invoked using "SELECT PGM(foo)".
All works fine and dandy when load modules exist in normal search order -
however the code has "naked" LOADs that will fail S806 under a LIBDEF
invocation.
What I was trying to point out is that the code could/should use QLIBDEF for
ISPLLIB and then establish its own DCB for the LOADs.

?
If there's a taklib DCB then what other requirements are there?
Perhaps you meant that they must use a for of SELECT that generates a tasklib,
e.g., CMD rather than PGM.
