Sorry I lost track of most of the interim suggestions toward this thread. Did anyone suggest using a PDSE as the target library? Years ago I cobbled together a poor man's scheduling system that used a single PDSE as a repository of members that each nightly batch job would add, as they completed with CC<5. Hundreds of jobs updated this PDSE over the course of the evening, resulting in thousands of members having been written. .

So you are saying that there is no point doing the two step process I mention because it will have the file enqueued for the life of the job no matter what, if DISP=OLD is specified? Hmm, oh well.
