That should work just fine. I do the same thing with DFDSS copy/rename. BTW, in my sandbox, I have a permanent set of OMVS files that I apply maint to (SMPE is updated to point to OMVS.SERVICE.*) the files are then copied with rename back to the sysres volumes.
<snip> I have a question about OMVS HFS files. I have the compatibility maintenenance installed on my z/OS 1.7 system, in preparation for installing z/OS 1.9. When I created my 3 ALTRES packs on 3390-3s, I copied the OMVS files with FDRDSF. As an example, I copied OMVS.ROOT to OMVS.SERVICE.ROOT, and applied all of the maintenance. My question is, can I use IEHPROGM to rename the Service file back to OMVS.ROOT? When I clip the pack to IPL, the catalog will point to the correct dataset name. The current IPL volume is Z17RES, and my maintenance volume is ZA7RES, so I will clip ZA7RES to Z17RES, and IPL it in my test sysplex. </snip> ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@bama.ua.edu with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
