I've used it with IEBGENER also, with the SDSF API which generates DD names that I can override generally to SYSUT1.
However, two design shortcomings: o The list should be not positional but keyworded, to support overriding of arbitrary DDNAMEs. o The override should be performed by the interface level (e.g. ATTACH), freeing the utility developer of the burden of coding to interpret the list and freeing the user of the restriction to "IBM standard utilities" or ISV utilities following IBM's convention. -- gil ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
