For another non-Rexx solution, consider StarTool (or I believe PDS command from CBT tape). It has a REPLACE function that can work on an entire PDS(E). It can be run in simulation mode so you can examine results without actually changing anything.

I know what to do and will write my own exec, but I wonder if anyone here has such exec that replace all occurances of the system name in parmlib and some system dsnames that has the name inside. Did you considered CPPUPDTE (for PDS like parmlib dsn and similar friends)? Use that for one System Name and repeat for other clones a la 'attack of the clones'. ;-) About 'exec', REXX has a function (sorry, I don't have access to my favourite z/OS toy while writing this reply) you can use to replace a string on the fly. Of course, you need to conjure up an exec to do that thing. I think I have a sample sitting somewhere (under a HSM ML2 mountain) which could help you. I will look at it and if I have anything, I will reply again to you. Groete / Greetings Elardus Engelbrecht Blue Monday joke: An old man went to see his Doctor for consultation over some lab test. "I've got good news and bad news!" said the Doctor. "Give me the good news first!" said the man. "The good news is you only have 24 hours to live!" the doctor said. "Geez! -if that's the good news, what's the bad news?" said the man. The Doctor says, "I forgot to tell you yesterday!!" ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
