IBM does this exact same thing in an OOTB ServerPac install. It allocates libraries in the logon proc then calls a clist to reallocate them. For no apparently good reason. I've done that when I wanted more control, for example, who gets what libraries, maybe certain users get dev libraries

My question is why just ask for PL/1? Why not ask for COBOL and C/C++ and HLASM as well (i.e., a generally accessible library)? Quite parochial, only caring about your own preferred programming environment. It really is not a very reasonable request, I agree. And I also agree that .ODF

We have a lot of HLASM and XL/C modules doing attach/wait/post/detach. The problem seems to be that the POSIX(ON) is not inherited by an attached subtask. Recoding to use threads and semaphores would effectively be rewriting the server - I'll think I'll leave that for the next generation! It's
