If you updated anything then the last change date would need to be updated or else it is not honestly correct. CPPUPDTE from your serverpac can make JCL like changes. I have rexx code that will invoke EDIT for every member of a PDS and run an edit macro if you have lots of changes to make. The last change date will be updated so honesty prevails. I have a version that will put the last change date back which lets the current number of lines to remain as ISPF updates it. OFFLOAD will likely be the most efficient way to unload all the members and have the IEBUPDTE control cards added, changing your rexx to run in batch would not be that hard. I have a version that works that way. Speed was less important than ease of implementing my solution as I move around. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
