It's not from IBM, but IEBUPDTX blows IEBUPDTE and IEBUPDAT away.

Gil,
Not disagreeing with you but I just do not see it being brought back from the 
dead. I agree that there should be a replacement but I am not sure you could 
get anyone to agree what a satisfactory replacement might be like. Maybe this 
might be a good session at SHARE? You would have to generate some enthusiasm 
and you might get enough people to form a committee.
Personally I think it needs to be done, but there would be forces pulling at 
the product from at least 2 or 3 angles, each would insist that they are 
“right”.
