(Now with actual text.) My experience matches Charles's. We have usermods with SRC, MOD, and LMOD entries all with the same name. As long as the entry types are different, SMP/E has no problem managing like-named elements.

Going into different destinations (target PDS) is not enough, they have to be different kinds of things: TEXTENU, SAMPENU, etc. You can't have two different SAMPENUs named BANANA, even in different RELFILEs, but you can have a TEXTENU named BANANA and a SAMPENU named BANANA. Obscure and arcane.

So if you have a sample program called BANANA and quite reasonably wanted to have a .JCL library with a sample job to run it called BANANA, and the source in a .SOURCE library also called BANANA, you can't do that. Seems kind of primitive in this day and age, especially when you're forced to work with eight-byte names! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
