Because of the PRE and SUP relations both forward and backward such an operation would be likely to RESTORE nearly everything back to the last ACCEPT. Perhaps it would be useful to have a command that did just that: RESTORE all un-ACCEPTed SYSMODs. (Is there one that I'm unaware of?) That said, my profound wish is for an ACCEPT-free RESTORE; that which CMS VMFMERGE/VMFRESTORE do, which is analogous to fetching un-ACCEPTed elements from the SMPPTS. (VMFMERGE has no ACCEPT operation, and no DLIBs; and does fine nevertheless.) -- gil -- StorageTek INFORMATION made POWERFUL ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
