Long ago, I needed APARs for misbehavior of NOTE/POINT. The problems could be triggered by mixed PDS and UNIX directories in the SYSLIB concatenation, particularly when there were nested COPY commands. >It is annoying to have source with suffix like .asm and have to store it in >a pds without it. Bleh!! > Cross assemblers from various ISVs provide better facilities for suffix mapping and case conversion. And if the OP is familiar with the extensions of gmake, particularly VPATH, he'll find z/OS make a disappointment. But I doubt one can use any make utility with PDS(E)s. We might wish that z/OS (actually, MVS 5.x.x then) had provided a kernel and relied on open source shell and utilities. -- gil ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
