将外部程序移动到不同的库时如何防止 IBM i 更改外部存储过程的库

Question

I've noticed that the IBM i will automatically change the library of an external stored-procedure to match the library of the external program when the program is moved. Is there a way to stop that?

For example:

1. Let's say that I've this RPGLE program => MYLIB1/TESTRP.

2. I used below to create an external stored-procedure for it:

    CREATE PROCEDURE MYLIB1/TESTSP() Language RPGLE External name TESTRP

3. Using query below, I can see that the stored procedure is being created under library MYLIB1 (SPECIFIC_SCHEMA = 'MYLIB1').

    SELECT * FROM QSYS2/SYSPROCS WHERE SPECIFIC_NAME LIKE 'TESTSP'

4. Now, use command below to move the TESTRP program from library MYLIB1 to MYLIB2:

    MOVOBJ OBJ(MYLIB1/TESTRP) OBJTYPE(*PGM) TOLIB(MYLIB2)

5. Using the same query on step3, I see that IBMi automatically moved the Stored Procedure to from MYLIB1 to MYLIB2 (SPECIFIC_SCHEMA = 'MYLIB2'). Is there a way to prevent this? I want the stored procedure to stay in MYLIB1.

Answer 1

You should open a support case with the vendor.

I suspect there's a way to define the stored proc to your CMS, so that it manages it along with the external program.
