I know you can go the other way, e.g. MF-non-MF using rexec, but don't know if you can go the other way. Never tried it. You could try posting to the TCPIP listserver for help. Miklos Szigetvari [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent by: IBM Mainframe Discussion List IBM-MAIN@BAMA.UA.EDU 02/23/2006 04:35

2006-02-01 Thread Richard Tsujimoto
When I migrated from CICS/VS 1.7 to CICS/ESA V4.1, there were modules that were identically named, some of which resided in PLPA. In those cases, you would probably want to segregate those modules, putting the new ones in PLPA, and STEPLIB'ing to the old ones in the older CICS regions.
