Dave, The "BUILD" job is just three steps :
(1) Cleanup+Prep (2) Generate the build logic (3) SCLM Build Step (3) is just ISPF in batch - running the build logic for each element with the same jobstep. Believe me - you can do some cool stuff in SCLM (define your own "languages" etc etc). "Good" return codes are completely at your descretion. Feel free to contact me offline - and I can show you what I get up to in SCLM-land.

No. I've never examined SCLM. Sounds like I should get off by lazy butt and check it out. >and it all runs in one batch job Well.... For a full gen, that would run to somewhere near a thousand steps. Doesn't that blow JES2's JCT limit? (or something like that...)
