George, I usually do my 2nd level directory update from a user other than MAINT so that would not be a problem
but yes if you get a rc of 0 instead of 5 then you can enter a DIRECTXA using the correct USER DIRECT and be back in business. good luck Bill Munson Sr. z/VM Systems Programmer Brown Brothers Harriman & CO. 525 Washington Blvd. Jersey City, NJ 07310 201-418-7588 President - MVMUA http://www2.marist.edu/~mvmua/ VM Project Officer - SHARE http://www.linkedin.com/in/BillMunson From: George Henke/NYLIC <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Date: 10/04/2010 02:37 PM Subject: Re: Setting Up L2 Directory Sent by: The IBM z/VM Operating System <[email protected]> ty, Rich, for the "heads up". If, perchance, the 1st Level directory gets updated by mistake instead of the second Level directory, ie you get RC 0, can you just do another DIRECTXA with the 1st Level directory source to back it out as long as you don't logoff, or is it too late. Haven't done it yet. Just want to know the recovery options first.

If you get zero, STOP!!! - You just overwrote the live directory. You want ISTR a rc=6 indicating that the directory you wrote is NOT the current system directory. -- Rich Greenberg Sarasota, FL, USA richgr atsign panix.com + 1 941 378 2097 Eastern time.
