Hi All - this is a strange one.

I created a custom library (ZZBNFPD/ZZBNFWS), defined it using libdef so that the PD references the WS. I then put a call into BNBNFPD to the new library. The only entry in the custom library (at this moment) is a display statement (DISPLAY "TEXT"). When I compile the program, it compiles without errors. If I run the base program, the library is called and the display appears in the log.

Next, I tried adding a line to the custom library to display a value from the calling library. When I try to compile this, I get a compile errors:

...

Error - BNFBN-FC Not Defined In Specified WS

Error - RdLibInt Failed For ZZBNFPD

Fix The Errors In ZZBNFPD And Try Again

...
I have confirmed that the value is spelled correctly.

If I comment out the display statement and debug the program, when I step into the custom library the BNFBN-FC value is available to view/modify.

Any thoughts on what could be causing this? Do I just need to restart the compiler? How do I do that? Thanks!

depending on where the variable BNFBN-FC is defined, that wslib may need to be linked to ZZBNFPD in libdef

HAHA-That was it! Thanks Ragu Raghavan! I added BNBNFWS to ZZBNFPD in libdef and it compiled fine. Thanks for your help!

I'm curious - is this because my custom library is being called from another library? I know I've used custom libraries called directly from programs and was able to pass variables back-and-forth without issues.

Thanks for your help!
