I would not delete a serverpac provided dataset. Changing the permissions would then be something you would need to add to your System installation doc for each new system.

As that is controlled by IBM Any recommendations that do not rely on me having a note for Server pack process. z/OSMF process or other manual function? Is there a way in batch when I build the sysres that could be inserted to do either actions? USS is not a strong skill set, so I am not sure the best way to proceed Thanks for any guidance Lizette ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN ________________________________ Warning: All e-mail sent to this address will be received by the corporate e-mail system, and is subject to archival and review by someone other than the recipient.
