IBM Power Ideas Portal
This portal is to open public enhancement requests against IBM Power Systems products, including IBM i. To view all of your ideas submitted to IBM, create and manage groups of Ideas, or create an idea explicitly set to be either visible by all (public) or visible only to you and IBM (private), use the IBM Unified Ideas Portal (https://ideas.ibm.com).
Shape the future of IBM!
We invite you to shape the future of IBM, including product roadmaps, by submitting ideas that matter to you the most. Here's how it works:
Search existing ideas
Start by searching and reviewing ideas and requests to enhance a product or service. Take a look at ideas others have posted, and add a comment, vote, or subscribe to updates on them if they matter to you. If you can't find what you are looking for,
Post your ideas
Post an idea.
Get feedback from the IBM team and other customers to refine your idea.
Follow the idea through the IBM Ideas process.
Specific links you will want to bookmark for future use

.The changes are now available via PTFs on releases 7.2 and 7.3. The PTF numbers are:
SI72426 V7R3M0
SI72435 V7R2M0
From the PTF Cover letter:
Program QLIRLIBD was changed to return the number of objects
faster with key 7. Performance is improved if key 7 was
specified without key 6 (library size information). When both
keys 6 and 7 are specified, there is no performance improvement.
The RFE description refers to key 8 for the QLIRLIBD API, which was probably a typo. Key 7 returns the number of objects in the library.
This request is being considered. It will be prioritized along with other future work.
The CAAC has reviewed this RFE again. We suggest that you open a PMR to handle this performance concern -- this is potentially a software defect.
Background: The COMMON Americas Advisory Council (CAAC) members have a broad range of experience in working with small and medium-sized IBM i customers. CAAC has a key role in working with IBM i development to help assess the value and impact of individual RFEs on the broader IBM i community, and has therefore reviewed your RFE.

Our most up to date system is at v7r2 - TL17290.
To my knowledge this API has performed badly in all releases with the specified parameters.
Please respond to the questions posted by CAAC in a prior Comment for this RFE.
The CAAC has reviewed this RFE. More information is needed. Have you opened a PMR? What release and PTF level are you at?
