Ed, I feel the same. MPFLIST was always my preferred method. You can suppress or pass messages into the Netview Subsystem Interface if you want to...or just use MPF vanilla....

MPFLST is my preferred methodology for doing so. Why, because its in *ONE* place if there is an issue you do not have to go through 2 or 3 or more programs to find out "who". Nothing against CA OPMVS but I always like to keep things simple. Yes CA OPSMVS has some slick facilities but simpler things can be done with ISPF edit of a syslog dataset. You could probably even write a generic macro to do it. One thing I do like about say MPFLST it forces you to go through change control and everybody gets to see exactly what is being done. They cannot come back at you later and bitch. It also shows your boss that you are doing productive work. Just my opinion.
