Resolving The Problem
This document contains a summary of the IBM System/36 Environment library SESSION parameter and explains when the library list is searched.
IBM System/36 Environment FLIB, FILELIB and LIBRARY
| A. | The SESSION and LIBL parameter have an effect on which library statement should be used. SESSION-YES: The change takes effect after the current System/36 job ends (outermost procedure). It remains in effect until the session ends or the session values are changed. SESSION-NO: The change takes effect immediately and remains in effect until the current procedure (outermost procedure) ends or until the current values are changed again. LIBL-YES: The library list is searched for database files. The library for the current file is not searched unless it is in the library list. LIBL-NO: The library list is not searched for database files. Only the library for the current file is searched. |
| B. | SLIB o Used to change the current session library, the system will search this library for procedures, programs, menus, display formats, and message members. If you do not specify a file's library before batch job submission, the session library will be used as the default. o The LIBL is searched if the object is not found in the session library. o SESSION-YES o This library remains the session library until you sign off or enter another SLIB procedure, MENU OCL statement, or command with a library parameter. Enter a LIBRARY OCL statement with SESSION-YES in a procedure. |
| C. | FLIB o SESSION-YES o LIBL is the default but can be changed to NOLIBL. |
| D. | // FILELIB o SESSION-NO is the default but can be changed to SESSION-YES. o LIBL-YES is the default but can be changed to LIBL-NO. |
| E. | // LIBRARY o Searches the current library, #LIBRARY, and the library list. o SESSION-NO is the default but can be changed to SESSION-YES. |
| F. | Recommendations o All of the above commands or statements can be used for interactive procedures. o Because of the SESSION parameter, // FILELIB or // LIBRARY are recommended for batch processing. |
