Initial command is needed to set library list

[dd1968]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
We have many products and releases that we support and the library list for a given product/release can be quite complex. With IBM RSE we can specify an initial command to run for setting the library list and this is how we currently manage getting the correct library list for a given connection.

Describe the solution you'd like
We have developed our own library list setting utility, so our initial command in RSE looks something like this today:
SETPRDLIBL PRDID(1R573UB) RLS(V2R2M0)

Describe alternatives you've considered
Here is how RSE handles the user profile setup.

You can see that the user profile list and current library are present and work in conjunction with the initial command. We're open to alternatives but essentially need something comparable to the RSE approach.

Show-Stopper
The lack of an initial command to establish a library list for a connection is a show-stopper for us and is the only thing preventing us from seriously considering adopting Code for IBM i.

@dd1968 Have you checked out Command Profiles?

[dd1968]

We had not checked out command profiles but have now.

At first we could not get more than one command profile to create and we ultimately uninstalled and reinstalled Code for IBM i. Even though we thought that we had the latest version, there must have been a version issue.

Now we are able to create multiple profiles and it looks like this will satisfy our need to run our SETPRDLIBL command to set a library list by product and version. (In a typical setup we might have 50 unique command profiles.)

Thank you very much for pointing me in the right direction.

In the future, we do plan to have profiles that can be shared across multiple users on a system.

That would be an excellent feature.
