What is NODE3? Do you want to rewrite DATACLASS ACS? If so, AFAIK, DATACLASS are only driven for new datasets. I agree that it is a PITA. Write a REXX program to pair off your FILTLIST ??? INCLUDE(<VSAM datasets>,<more VSAM dsn>) with the relevant IF or WHEN statements. Then a little copy+paste changes and translate/validate/testing are then all that remains. You could perhaps dump or copy them and then re-drive those ACS Dataclass routines. Of course, it depends on your naming standards and how you spread them accross your dataclasses. >Note: We are rolling out z/OS 2.2 which I am studying for any enhancements >related to this query.
