Would XML suit you? It's what I do in Batch from the ISPF TLIB. I'm not sure whether to write up what is an undocumented and unsupported technique.

Sent by: IBM Mainframe Discussion List <IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU> Currently, the only way I know of handling WLM policy changes is though the ISPF dialogs, screens, etc., that sit behind IWMARIN0. That's all very well, but beyond the NOTES function (and/or in-house change control documentation), there is no real possibility of an audit trail. Is there any way of handling WLM policy processing in batch? I'd like to be able to 'unload' the current policy into a flat file of statements that are expressed in English or something reasonably understandable at least. >From there I'd like to be able to modify (a) selected statement(s), then specify those statements as SYSIN to a batch program (or input to a REXX) to reload/modify the current policy. Yes, you can unload the policy into a bunch of members in a PDS, but the individual members are stored as hex code and are not 'readable' with IEH-EYEBALL, so that isn't a solution for my enquiry. I've scanned the cbttape site, and tried googling with various search arguments, but nothing makes itself immediately obvious.
