i Navigator should process *NONE as a library name when *USPRF or *JOBD are specified in BRMS Global Policy Properties

Attempting to use i Navigator to change BRMS Global Policy Properties gives errors after the green screen has been used to change the policy to either of these settings:

BRMS submitted jobs:
Job description. . . . . . . . . . . . *USRPRF
Library. . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Job queue. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . *JOBD
Library. . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

BRMS submitted jobs:
Job description. . . . . . . . . . . . *USRPRF
Library. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . *LIBL
Job queue. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . *JOBD
Library. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . *LIBL


Use Case:

Change the BRMS system policy from the green screen to either of these options (and then press enter):

BRMS submitted jobs:
Job description. . . . . . . . . . . . *USRPRF
Library. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . *LIBL
Job queue. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . *JOBD
Library. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . *LIBL

BRMS submitted jobs:
Job description. . . . . . . . . . . . *USRPRF
Library. . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Job queue. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . *JOBD
Library. . . . . . . . . . . . . . .



Later, if you use i Navigator to update the BRMS Global Policy Properties then these values will be displayed:

Job Description: User profile
Job Library: *NONE
Job Queue: *JOBD
Job Queue Library: *NONE

Although i Navigator itself populates the library name with *NONE it will not accept it as a valid value and attempting to update the BRMS Policy Properties results in an error saying that *NONE is not valid. You need to change the Job Library and the Job Queue Library to 'Use library list' before i Navigator will process the request.
