I use DDSPROMPT=NO, MINASID=ALL, REUSEDS=ALWAYS, CONSOLE=((cuu,3277),(cuu,3277),,)) Which does the same thing with the correct loadparm to use the HMC. We also have a SADUMP group on the HMC for manual SADUMPs (just drag and drop) that has the same SMSYSC loadparm setup. I usually test with a ICC console and "manual" load address and loadparm. You can still use a 327x if you want with loadparm overrides I assume CONSOLE=SYSC in the macro I assume? (time for a little RTFM) > >I've never tried switching sysres volume with REIPL. I did it once as a test in my sandbox thinking - "this is good, we don't even have to use the HMC". But then I realized that the next person who went to the HMC to IPL (that didn't use REIPL in the VARY XCF command) would end up IPLing from the "old" sysres address. Not good. Now if there was an option to also update the load address in the HMC when you used DIAGxx for the REIPL, then I would do it.
