OK, maybe I'm living a charmed life. But if I need to compress a PROCLIB, I just run IEBCOPY with a DISP=SHR on it. I've never had a problem. The only problem that I can think of that might occur is if a job went to the converter and tried to use the PROCLIB during the actual compress process. That job will get a JCL error. And you may get a nasty message about the converter subtask abending. But JES2 stays up.
What am I doing right? Oh, if I need to reallocate a PROCLIB, then I do the $PJES2,ABEND trick. But only late at night and with everybody understand that there will be a short outage for JES2. -- John McKown Senior Systems Programmer HealthMarkets Keeping the Promise of Affordable Coverage Administrative Services Group Information Technology This message (including any attachments) contains confidential information intended for a specific individual and purpose, and its content is protected by law.
