>>Why not just use IFASMFDP? Micahel, Probably due to fact that IFASMFDP does not give you the option of dynamically changing the date. Tim wanted Current date - 7 days worth of data. IFASMFDP only allows you hard coded dates for DATE parameter. So Tim has to change the control cards every time

Thanks for the solution. I am wondering, though: since I am not interested in dates in the 20th century, could I use COND=(12,3,Y2U,GE,) ? The rightmost 3 bytes of the SMF date would seem to satisfy Y2U and as long as my offset of -7 doesn't take me to a previous century I should be OK,

Like Ed, I recently questioned the availability of automatic JES2 parm back-generation. Seems that I had catapulted a long-standing requirement into a fait accompli. Does not exist, sadly. JES2 is especially complicated, as others have noted, because a change edited into the init deck will not

A lot can be automated, but the task is not as simple as it seems. In addition to the issue of order, there's also the issue of symbols and the IPL parameters from the HMC. As others have mentioned, good configuration control processes will help to avoid the need to frequently compare

If you wish to compare running systems, you could get a start by using SHOWZOS with output to files and compare them. But, as others have said, this is a non-trivial problem and likely to always include some manual observation > -Original Message- > From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List
