Dave, I believe writing a new IPL TEXT from the target during the clone process is a standard. But my problem is I have to reformat the cloned pack after the process, even though the cloned pack has been initialized with IPL TEXT from the target.

That way I don't have to worry about getting the latest version due to a PTF. One less thing to worry about.

For sure I init the volume from the correct SAMPLIB because I used the same JCL to reformat the volume after the init. This problem is really no big deal, but it is a problem. I can append a reformat step in the build IPL volume job to circumvent this. ********************************************************************** This email and any files transmitted with it are confidential and intended solely for the use of the individual or entity to whom they are addressed.
