Charles There used to be a formal program, that is it had an IBM number, which allowed you to do this.[1]. The very responsible systems programmer at the education centre where I worked removed it from production systems because he though it was a "bad thing" for some reason or other. Consequently I was obliged constantly to keep updating my TSO procedures as I added clever functions to be run under TSO. It looks like you need to be in charge of your TSO procedure which, incidentally, was something which my very responsible systems programmer was quite happy to accommodate.
Chris Mason [1] It may be the program on the CBT tape which Jason Gateley mentions. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Charles Mills" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Newsgroups: bit.listserv.ibm-main To: <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, 12 October, 2006 12:38 AM Subject: Allocating "STEPLIB" in TSO > I would like to be able to cause a load module executed with a CALL > statement in TSO to "find" (with LINK or LOAD - don't know, it's not my > code) a load module that is in a private load library. **Other than > allocating the library at LOGON time, which my sysprog does not want to do > for some private reason, or putting it in the link list/LPA** how can I set > things up so that the CALLed module finds an entry point in the private > library? > > > > - I've tried TSOLIB and that does not seem to work.
