>That was when I said (basically) "what do standards have to do with it?".
I have lost track of your point. In (almost) every shop I've worked in, we've set it up so production does not point (directly) to system libraries. They're either in LINK/LPA, catalogued procedures or buried in production CLIST/REXX (preferrably the latter). So, if we have to change some dataset names, we don't have to change production JCL. We just change a single point of access. Case in point: Almost two years ago, we converted from PKZIP for z/OS to ZIP/390. We had 1000's of jobs that used it, but we only had 7 that we had to change -- two were for steplibs and the rest because it was not a 100% work-alike. - Too busy driving to stop for gas! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
