I enthusiastically agree. If that ability existed, there'd be no need for ACCEPT. I'll go further, though. Rebuild not only from DLIB zone, but from GLOBAL zone if the correct version has not been ACCEPTed.
"Improved Load Module Build Facility" (what release?) Was a step in the right direction. But it supports only building load modules from MOD elements during APPLY. It doesn't support RESTORE in any way. >Ability in SMP to update an element with RECFM=VB. > Such an element can be replaced with GIMDTS, but not updated. I'll add, ability to add an existing MOD element to an existing load module without redelivering that MOD element which may cause enormous binder thrashing if that MOD element is a widely used library subroutine, and may have undesirable FMID ownership conflicts. -- gil ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
