I'll have to look at the Hercules OS/360 package, which includes a copy of IEBCOPY for OS/360...wonder if it's your work. >>IEBDG - is a data-set utility to generate test data. >> Note.

It was unusual enough that I was surprised to see it. Fuzzy memory tells me it was in HASP setup, but that's likely to be wrong. >>IEBUPDAT - is a dsu to incorporate IBM and user-generated source >> language modifications into a symbolic library -- a PDS of >> 80-byte records, such as SYS1.PROCLIB ... >>IBUPDTE - is a dsu to incorporate IBM and user-generated source >> language modifications into a sequential or PDS. > These two served much the same purpose.

I'd always wondered ablut the slightly strange naming of IEBUPDTE. >>IEHIOSUP - is a system utility used to update TTR entries in the >> transfer control tables of the supervisor call library (SVC lib). >> IEHSISUP must be used after: the SVC lib is moved.

The initial starter MFT system build for Hercules ran into a chicken-and-egg problem: How do you run IEHIOSUP to set up the TTRs if you don't have a system to run it on? Roger Bowler wound up writing a utility that does the update, by finding SYS1.SVCLIB and processing the PDS directory - and parsing the AWSCKD image to get there. -- Jay Maynard, K5ZC http://www.conmicro.cx http://www.tronguy.net (Yes, that's me!) http://jmaynard.livejournal.com
