Create a new target zone each time, with a matching DLIB zone. Clear it off when I'm finished. The root HFS has &SYSR1 as part of the DSNAME. One advantage of this approach is that it allows for an additional RES set in an emergency, as for example, when you have your newest RES partly rolled into production and discover that you need to put a fix on quickly. -- Tom Marchant ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
