Thanks for your ideas > I keep some of my JCL members, including one which renames data sets and defines aliases with IDCAMS, as UNIX shell scripts in which the actual JCL appears as a here-document. The shell scripts filter and submit the JCL using parameter substitution in the simpler cases and sed or awk in the more complicated. One substitution I regularly do is to create data set names incorporating the current date, not possible with pure batch JCL. -- gil ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
