Very true. However, I wonder how acceptable it might be to use BPAM's PDS emulation to store what would normally be in a PDS in a UNIX subdirectory instead? Just keep the UNIX file name within the directory within the limits imposed by a PDS member name, and it should work, no? Can an executable module be placed in a UNIX subdirectory and that subdirectory used in a STEPLIB? I may play with this on my sandbox system. I've not done anything like this due to the fact that I have not implemented sysplex UNIX filesystem sharing. That would be a change to a production environment and would require a justified change request. And, for some weird reason, change control won't accept "it would be neat!" as a justification. Few in the shop even know we run a UNIX subsystem on z/OS and the few who do, other than myself, think it is a waste of time and resources. -- John McKown Systems Engineer IV IT Administrative Services Group HealthMarkets(r) 9151 Boulevard 26 * N.
