You don't need to recompile them to store them in a PDSE. You can just reallocate a new PDSE, use IEBCOPY to copy them from the old PDS to the new PDSE. IEBCOPY will invoke the binder to relink them to the new format but the code remains unchanged. Then you can rename to new PDSE to replace the old PDS. No JCL changes needed. We just did that a few months ago on all our LPARs. ----------------------------------------------------------------- ATTENTION: The information in this electronic mail message is private and confidential, and only intended for the addressee.
