I worked at one shop where IDMS created most JCL on the fly. My current shop has most of the JCL within a proc. Some people develop using in-line procs, but I don't recommend that, because we have the following to allow me to use the proc that will get migrated - without change: // JCLLIB ORDER=(UMS.D44201.PROC,UMS.STG1TEST.PROC) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
