It appears you are correct. While looking closer, I found this in my "Installing your Order": Jobs run during production The UCLIN job, ISF.SISFJCL1(ISFISUCL), which causes SMP/E to reassemble SDSF whenever maintenance affects JES2 macros has been run. I guess my direct desire won't happen :( I can build the UCLIN and combine it at RECEIVE or full APPLY. It will take some more thought to figure what to do with RESTORE and REJECT., Thanks for the help. Dave Gibney Information Technology Services Washington State University Dave: Do not feel bad I think most of us have been bitten by this. Of course once bitten it never happens again. A long time ago I was asked to show a rookie sysprog the process of doing an install. I started out slow and simple and realized after two days I was three days behind. Of all times to be asked to do this as I was under the gun to have this new system up in a week. I talked to my boss and he really wanted me to show the new guy. I told my boss it was close to impossible to train and have the system up on the promised date (not my promise of course). He told me to do the best I could but to have the system up by the promised date. I told the rookie sysprog that I had to take over and for him to watch everything I did and only question what he truly did not understand. I told him to call his wife and tell her he wasn't coming home for at least 5 days. He looked at me and he really wasn't happy. I actually worked 20 hour days with about 3 hours off for eating and sleeping. One of the jobs that I ran was the uclin for SDSF and the uclin for ISPF (that was before the time you could have a additional LPALIB list) and then copy of the ISPF members. He stopped me and asked for an explanation. I told him how important it was to keep the two products in sync he wasn't too sure that it was important for some reason but he got the drift that time was of the essence. We were finishing up the install and IPL'd the new system about an hour before the promised time. I walked up to the boss and told him from now on consult me before promising anything like that again. He actually honored that request and from then on I had input to all those types of decisions. His wife was really mad at me ever since then. I could live with that . The install went amazingly well. I had one oops (initiator not being set for the correct default cpu time. ALl in all a success story but after a week the junior sysprog hung on my shoulder for 6 months. There is a side story about the SDSF & JJES2 maintenance that occured while I was on vacation and he was actually able to fix the issue (with a little help from IBM).
