I just now did several PSWITCH and ACOUPLE commands to clean up from a recent mix-up. No problem as long as *each* command includes TYPE= . For (I think) historical reasons, omitting TYPE= implies TYPE=SYSPLEX because in the Garden of Eden, that was all there was. (See what that snake did?) In any case, as long as TYPE= is correct for the couple data set(s) you're manipulating, you should have no problem.

I would check the manual, but I think you can create new files and switch them like the CFRM. Or you create new files, update parmlib and IPL.
