Current product in question is FDRABR. He has also done Syncsort like this. Both are needed early in the IPL and if there is a way to avoid link/lpa listing them, I don't know it. In many cases, I do prefer ISV in the system search concatentation, I don't like messing with large scale JCL search and change projects. If a product is not widely used, I prefer using a PROC to avoid widespread dataset references. > > I would rather have people steplib to a dataset that contains the > current version.
