Does SMP/E provide no way to do this by changing a single symbol?
If not, support for symbols should be an RFE on SMP/E.

I'd consider it safer to keep "/TARGET" in the maste copy and:
ZEDIT DDDEF .
CHANGE PATH('/TARGET'*,

ZEDIT DDDEF .
CHANGE PATH('/'*,

ZEDIT DDDEF .
CHANGE PATH('/'*,
'/Service'*).
ENDZONEEDIT .

Maintenance paths
Normally I edit the DDEFs via jcl to /Service instead of / for maintenance but I was wondering if this is still the preferred/best method? The last time doing this there were 118 paths to update so not entirely trivial. -- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
