Agreed to the above and below. The only conflict I remember was when IBM came out with IOA as a hlq, and we'd already used it for some product from Israel that was acquired by some outfit in Texas :) Seriously, it's far easier to go with the flow on vendor naming, especially for distribution datasets. I do like to copy vendor "target" datasets to local named copies. I've been burnt a couple times by inadvertently putting maintenance on an operational dataset. By using my own local DS, this shooting in the foot requires better aim :} > The simplest practice is probably just not to > rename them in the first place. > > CC ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
