This thread has begotten and promulgated some misnomers, 'TLIB' being prominent. That word is *not* shorthand for 'TARGET LIB'. Unfortunately TARGET has no nickname. DLIB is short for 'DISTRIBUTION LIBRARY', but 'TLIB' is not short for TARGET. To quote from the doc:
"SMPTLIB data sets (TLIBs) are used as temporary storage for relative files that are loaded from SMPPTFIN during RECEIVE processing." . .

ISTR TLIBs used to be the "temporary" libraries that were built on the SMPTLIB volume when unloading the RELFILEs during RECEIVE processing. APPLY would copy/assemble/link the TLIB content to the target libraries. ACCEPT would then a) copy/assemble/link the TLIB content to the distribution libraries (aka DLIBs) and b) delete the TLIBs and update the global zone. -- Phoenix Software International Edward E.
