Tom, I think (I wrote the requirement), I was the one that requested SMPE to create the forfmid at SHARE way long time ago. I was having issues with stringing out the ptfs, mine got to 3 continuation cards . It was for an obscure product that I dearly loved. Ed On Aug 15, 2015, at 5:45

Thanks Lizette. The double * must be new (within the last 25 years :-) ). Back in the day only a single * could be used to replace a single qualifier. It was great for GDSs (ie. HLQ.GDGBASE.*). Dan D -Original Message- From: Lizette Koehler Sent: Friday, August 14, 2015 7:27 PM

The only major change we had to do in my previous shop was to migrate from BPX.DEFAULT.USER to BPX.UNIQUE.USER in order to migrate RACF AIM stage to 3. This is very well described in the manual I've shown in my previous note.
