>going back decades it was possible to mangle the member name and do a STOW to save an "old" member under the mangled name using the old TTR.
We did that with a homegrown change manglement system in the early 1980's. >You just can't use those names in JCL. >It would take an experiment to see if LOAD and LINK would allow them. IIRC, you could. We had a convoluted procedure to run the munged backup with a different programme, a parm and a minor JCL change. But, I was a rookie at the time, and it wasn't my area of responsibility. I only found out because I was on the post-mortem team, and the issue came up as part of the root cause. Details become hazy after the passage of time. OFF TOPIC Observation: In the past 30 years, I've noticed that post mortems haven't changed. They're still fingerpointing & blamestorms first, problem solving and prevention second. - Too busy driving to stop for gas! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
