You can not use BPAM, BSAM or QSAM on a program library. Unless you are a vendor with access to the FAMS documentation, you are limited to the BINDER API.

Does STOW allow putting in such information to a PDSE that contains Program Objects? Or is that functionality reserved to the Binder (via the much rumoured FAMS...?)? In any case I would think the Binder API would be a better bet than writing one's own user data.
