Peter, Sorry it has taken me some time to get back to this.
Having used the SYMUPDTE I was able to change just the one symbol entry I needed to. The SETLOAD is a different process as it updates everything. Which is why I had some confusion. So, yes, I think the documentation is not 100% clear having worked with a different mechanism. Please let me know if the following is correct, or needs some updating. \Start Note SETLOAD. The SETLOAD command uses the information in LOADxx to identify the IEASYM member. When if finds that member, it then will update the entire IEASYM information in the system with the new information. Note: Should an entry be different than what is coded, that is - something you think is AAAAAAAA is changed to AAAAAAAB, then that update will take place. So it is possible to change an entry without noticing it. \End Note So, is there a TEST function for SETLOAD so I can see what it thinks it is going to change without changing it? For example. SETLOAD xx,etc...,TEST Produces SETLOAD TEST for Member XX IEASYMxx Value Current Value New Value Changed &CLONE. 01 01 &MYSYM ABCDE WXYC1 YES Thanks Lizette > -----Original Message----- > From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU] > On Behalf Of Peter Relson > Sent: Saturday, May 30, 2015 6:05 AM > To: IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU > Subject: Re: z/OS V2.1 and SETLOAD > > SYMUPDAT was never supported.
