IMO, copying members to a run-time library is an error-prone process. I'm not a big fan of copying the load library either. My preference would be to use a symbolic substitution. Either to use indirect cataloging by symbolic VOLSER or by using SYMBOLICALIAS in data set aliases The symbol can be changed at IPL time or on the fly by using SYMUPDTE. Of course, with either of these methods, you'd need to clone your environment before applying the maintenance. -- 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
