I wanted to thank all of you for the valuable information that I got. I used the SET PROG=xx to get my change into the system in the order I needed.

I don't like having to track the current LNKLST set name (we only IPL production 2 to 4 times a year as needed). I would like to use the same LNKLST set name that is in my PROGxx member that I used during the IPL. It could work similar to GDGs. I would backup and make my changes to our PROGxx member (member name never changes, so no update is required to IEASYSxx), do a T PROG=xx (that checks and implements my changes and I'm fairly sure that the next IPL will succeed). The new LNKLST set would be named LNKLST (or whatever name we were using), the previous one would be renamed to LNKLSTnn, such that LNKLST1 would be oldest, LNKLST2 would be next oldest, etc. We never actually *move* an active linklist dataset. Technically, it would be a copy. We would update the catalog to point to the new copy. Later after no one is using the original would it finally be deleted. -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:ibm-m...@bama.ua.edu] On Behalf Of Tom Marchant Sent: Thursday, January 07, 2010 3:18 PM To: IBM-MAIN@bama.ua.edu Subject: Re: LNKLST & APF Help On Thu, 7 Jan 2010 13:30:23 -0500, Don Williams wrote: > >It would nice if z/OS would let you rename an active LNKLST set or let you >create new versions kind of like GDGs. You can't rename an existing LNKLST set, but you can create your new LNKLST set with a new name. I see that you name yours LNKLST. You have 16 characters available for the name. Surely you could come up with a new name to indicate that it is the new version. > >Correct, cycling LLA is usually not needed.

IIRC, any time a module is being loaded from LNKLST, the LOAD could fail, depending upon the timing of the UPDATE and the LOAD. To enumerate all of the possible failures in IBM code that could occur if a LOAD fails would likely be a very long list. -- Tom Marchant ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@bama.ua.edu 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 lists...@bama.ua.edu with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html ---------------------------------------------------------- --------------Palm Beach County Schools--------------------- Rated "A" by the Florida Department of Education 2005-2009 -----Home of Florida's first LEED Gold Certified School----- -----------http://www.palmbeachschools.org------------- The District of Palm Beach County is an Equal Education Opportunity Provider and Employer.
