Gil:
CBT has a utility (mentioned in this thread before) that inserts (./
add) cards in front of each member for input to IEBUPDTE.
Its been years but I *THINK* that you can change the "./" card to
your individual needs.

I haven't used this beast, apparently described in:
http://www-01.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/api/content/nl/en-
us/SSLTBW_2.1.0/com.ibm.zos.v2r1.idau100/iebptpc.htm
... and it's becoming apparent why not. I deem the documentation
horrible!
(Or perhaps I haven't looked in the proper places.) Where does it
answer
such basic questions as:
o How are input member images separated in the output sequential
data set?
o Can the programmer control the format of separator? How?
o Regardless of the format of the separator, how are input records
which by happenstance mimic that separator protected in the
output data set?
