Library List Resolution

If a value of *LIBL is specified for the help text file library, the help display program uses the invoking job’s library list to find the text member: the first file containing a source member of the specified name is used.

For example:

If you use the following request to display a help text member FRED:

YDSPHLP MBR(FRED) FILE(*LIBL/UHLPTXT)

Your library list contains the following files:

Then the YDSPHLP command does the following:

• Examines UHLPTXT in QGPL for FRED and does not find a candidate member.
• Examines UHLPTXT in EVERYMAN for member FRED, finds a candidate, and uses the candidate.
