<h4 id="rzau6findrsc">Search order of library list</h4>
|
||
|
|
<p>It is essential that you understand how your i5/OS™ system searches for Advanced Function Presentation™ (AFP™) resources. When you create a spooled file, the operating system
|
||
|
|
saves the libraries in your library list. Within that list are the libraries
|
||
|
|
that contain the resources used to create the spooled file.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p><span class="bold">Why you should use a library list</span></p>
|
||
|
|
<p>When specifying an overlay, page definition, or page segment, you need
|
||
|
|
to include the library that contains the resource in your library list. If
|
||
|
|
you have more than one overlay, page definition, or page segment with the
|
||
|
|
same name, make sure the one you want to use is in the first library searched.
|
||
|
|
Otherwise, you might specify the correct name, but get the wrong resource
|
||
|
|
in your output.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>If you have a resource that you want many users access (fonts, for example),
|
||
|
|
you might put that resource in a library that everyone can access. For example,
|
||
|
|
you could put it in a library identified in the system value QSYSLIBL.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p><span class="bold">Search order for resources that are not specified
|
||
|
|
by the AFPRSC keyword</span></p>
|
||
|
|
<p>When the operating system searches libraries for the resources needed to
|
||
|
|
print a spooled file, the user library list is searched first and then the
|
||
|
|
device library list. By default, the operating system searches libraries in
|
||
|
|
the following order: </p>
|
||
|
|
<ol type="1">
|
||
|
|
<li>System libraries
|
||
|
|
<p>These libraries are identified in system value QSYSLIBL.
|
||
|
|
System libraries are available to all users; they are identified in your library
|
||
|
|
list with a Type of SYS.</p></li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Current library
|
||
|
|
<p>The current library is identified in your user profile
|
||
|
|
as the value for the current library (CURLIB) parameter. In your library list,
|
||
|
|
the current library has a Type of CUR.</p></li>
|
||
|
|
<li>User libraries
|
||
|
|
<p>User libraries are identified in system value QUSRLIBL
|
||
|
|
or in a job description. In your library list, these libraries are identified
|
||
|
|
with a Type of USR.</p></li></ol>
|
||
|
|
<p>You can override the system library search list and specify a library search
|
||
|
|
list for a particular device or user. To do this, use a PSF configuration
|
||
|
|
object. If you create a PSF configuration object, the default for the user
|
||
|
|
and device library lists will be the same as the library search described
|
||
|
|
previously.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p><span class="bold">Search order for resources that are specified
|
||
|
|
by the AFPRSC keyword</span></p>
|
||
|
|
<p>When you specify a resource by using the AFPRSC Data description
|
||
|
|
specifications (DDS) keyword, the operating system uses a different method
|
||
|
|
to search for that resource. Instead, it uses a search order that involves
|
||
|
|
the environment variable QIBM_AFP_RESOURCES_PATH. The system searches the
|
||
|
|
integrated file system for those resources as described in the AFPRSC topic.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p><span class="bold">The QIBM_AFP_RESOURCES_PATH environment variable</span></p>
|
||
|
|
<p>The QIBM_AFP_RESOURCES_PATH environment variable is used when The DDS keyword
|
||
|
|
AFPRSC is used to specify objects in the integrated file system. This environment
|
||
|
|
variable specifies the paths to search for the specified object.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>To specify multiple paths in QIBM_AFP_RESOURCES_PATH, use a colon to separate
|
||
|
|
them. For example, <tt class="xph">/home/officers/signatures:/home/checkimages/2003</tt> identifies
|
||
|
|
two directories to be searched:</p>
|
||
|
|
<ul>
|
||
|
|
<li>/home/officers/signatures (This directory is searched first.)</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>/home/checkimages/2003 (This directory is searched second.)</li></ul>
|
||
|
|
<p>The directories are searched in the order in which they are listed.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>The /QIBM/UserData/OS400/AFPresources directory is created when i5/OS is installed.
|
||
|
|
It is always available for use.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>You can use these CL commands to work with environment variables:</p>
