Concerning John M's suggestion (for text data) to use the UPDMVS8 option, UPDMVS8 has the onerous requirement that _both_ comparands have valid standard sequence numbers. (I suspect this arises from a requirement to support PDF revision codes in 79-80). The UPDCMS8 option requires only that the OLD comparand be numbered. So I resort to using UPDCMS8 followed by a filter (I do it in Rexx) to convert UPDCMS8 to IEBUPDTE. I suppose this sacrifices PDF revision codes. I don't much care. -- gil ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@bama.ua.edu with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
