.... Hi All. Is there a way to update the ESOTERIC table dynamically without building a new SYS1.IODF##? If a device is NOT in the ESOTERIC table is it accessible with JCL or will you get invalid device? We are OS/390 V2R10. Once again I thank the group.
Bob Pelletier ..... Bob, Just did this last week to add an esoteric for a migration package, combining 3480 and 3490 as the esoteric 'SARTAPE'. I couldn't figure a way around not creating a new IODF. Eventually created a new IODF with a new EDT (02), then entered the command: ACTIVATE IODF=XX,EDT=02 I was able to go back to the old EDT=01,..and then back to EDT=02 to test. Good luck, Gabe ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
