Lizette, I would think the best place to do this is in the ACS routines, for the following reasons:
1. YOU can determine whether to accept or replace any of these based on your rules. 2. Many places I have been, the developers are generally driven fairly hard to work on tasks that provide 'business results', and that generally means that taking time to make JCL changes requested by their friendly sysprog are given a lower priority. 3. ACS routine changes, depending on change control procedures and rules at your shop, can be made dynamically. No need to wait for the next IPL. Tom Chicklon ------- I want to be able to stop programmers from coding STORCLAS DATACLAS and MGMTCLAS in their JCL unless I tell them to. Even better would be able to rename it occasionally. Is there a simple way that requires little administration to do this? I know I could write an IKJEFT10 exit to parse the JCL. I know I could probably put something in a JES2 Exit. Then I would the be only one able to support it. Not a lot of assembler programmers in my group. So is there another way that could be better? Perhaps a vendor product like DTS Software SRS? Or something else? Thanks.
