Thanks very much. >But please allow me to explain a bit. >Dynamic linklist is one of the more difficult to get right, but there are a >lot of dynamic facilities.

Ouch...) > ... >Dynamic exits ... > ... Including SMF exits and RACF IRREVX01 exit. The very fact they're dynamic saved my skin many times. For example, I have changed the IEFUJI to instead looking for a fixed table in a loadlib, rather look in RACF for authorized accounting codes for batch jobs. No IPL anymore for a new accounting code! Yah! >Dynamic changes to SMS Yup! Badly coded things in SMS can be overridden later via dynamic commands. I also liked that testing facility in ISMF. The storage guys after me were grateful for that! >Most of these can cause problems if used incorrectly. Many of them also make >the Sys Prog's life easier. Thanks for sharing my sentiments. Here I agree 100% with you. I think I will climb off this topic ( dead horse? ;-D ) to spare the OP some useless reading... ;-) This ad-free thread is really interesting to follow!
