Library Utility (3.1)

The Library utility enables applications and systems programmers to manage libraries online. Because this utility also works with load libraries, you can display information such as link-edit attributes, CSECT assembly/compile dates and compiler options, applied zaps, and PDSE Binder Classes. This information is useful when diagnosing problems with packaged software.

To select the Library utility, enter the number 1 in the OPTION field of the Extended Utilities Menu, or as described in Selecting-screens. When you press Enter, File-AID displays the Library Utility screen as shown in Library Utility Screen.

In addition, File-AID provides an F31 primary command to let you recursively invoke the Library Utility. You can enter this command from any File-AID screen with an OPTION or COMMAND field. You have the option of entering a dataset name as a parameter when specifying the F31 command. If no dataset name is supplied, File-AID uses a default of the last data set accessed. When you invoke the Library Utility recursively, use the END command (PF3) on Library Utility screen, or use the RETURN command (PF4) from anywhere in the function to return to the screen from which you entered the F31 command. After the second session is completed, the original session is continued.
