There used to be a zap for IPOUPDTE to get rid of the $$$COIBM requirement. Google "IPOUPDTE ZAP". Don't know if they still work. But it is likely worth the quick search and test if you need the functionality.

When I tried IPOUPDTE on my PDS I got an error IPO006 FILE @PDS INVALID FOR IPOUPDTE that I resolved by adding a member $$$COIBM, so I conclude that the restriction is still there, at least on the copy on my V2R1 system. It's a GREAT little utility except for the stupid kneecapping. FWIW, here is the resolution of my requirement: No FileAid, no File Manager. CBT 040 is really complex, lightly-commented assembler code from the dark ages (31 bit? reentrance? what's that?) and way overkill for what I want. IPOUPDTE would be *perfect* except for the $$$COIBM restriction. Yes, I can work around that, but the result is kind of an offensive kludge. I wrote a little Rexx program, cannibalizing some Rexx I had lying around. Problem solved.

I think the requirement for a member name $$$COIBM has been removed. I have used IPOUPDTE on 3 different sites in the past few years without this restriction. Many of the other utilities are great, but some cost money or may not be installed at some sites, so IPPOUPDTE is a great option. It also allows for updating multiple pds/pdse's in one execution and provides a PARM=CHECK or UPDATE to allow checking your changes before doing the actual UPDATE. The DD name(s) must start with @.
