Certainly the concatenation of SMPPTS libraries is recorded in the zone by DDDEF. My point was that the particular library that a PTF is located in at any given time is not 'recorded'. Whenever a PTF is needed, the PTS concatenation is searched for the member. If the DDDEF is changed, the new library set is search in the order specified. A moved PTF will be found in its new home.
It has been this way for a long time. At least since week before last. ;-). . .

And it can be done after the fact: use pax to move directories and replace their previous locations with symlinks to their new locations. >-----Original Message----- >From: Dan Little >Sent: Thursday, March 16, 2017 7:58 PM > >I thought the SMMPTSx DDDEF was recorded in the global zone and that >consolidating could not easily be done. -- gil ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
