Hi Thanks, I did not bring the new DIRECTORY online I thought about this but I did not know the exact procedure to accomplish under the working system. I guess I also thought that at IPL time it would bring in the USER DIRECTORY that was sitting at 511 175(in my case). I understand now how this is working.
Thanks again for the help it is much appreciated. I am LEARNING!!

However - For SYSTEM CONFIG: are you sure that DEFINE MDISK 991 39 120 53DRES points to the CF1 of the new system, and/or that the new system is IPLed with CF1 as its IPL "input"? - For the CP directory You did mention you changed the directory source, but not that you placed the changed directory online on the RES of the new system, So DEFINE MDISK 991 511 175 53DRES #ACC 991 M DETACH 123 DEFINE MDISK 123 0 END 53DRES DIRECTXA fn DIRECT M DET 123 991 2008/10/2 Martin, Terry R.
