This topic provides information about various external object types and their default libraries.
When an object is created and a library qualifier can be specified but is not, the object is stored in the user's current job library, as shown in the Default User Library column. The user profile for each user specifies the user's current library. The current library will be QGPL if it is not specified otherwise. The other objects, identified by N/A in the Default User Library column, cannot be stored in user-provided libraries. With the exception of the Dump System Object (DMPSYSOBJ) command, you cannot specify the object type in the format shown in the Hexadecimal Format column with commands.
