I admit, I'm pretty much ignorant about EKM but from a previous post I seem to remember it is startet as STC? You could add an initial step to create these files and then create a link to them so that you don't have to change the EKM configuration. Something like this: /*REXX*/ syscallsrc = syscalls("ON") if syscallsrc > 0 then do say "SYSCALLS environment could not be established, RC=" !! syscallsrc say "aborting..." exit 16 end address syscall sysname = MVSVAR("SYSNAME") cdate = date("S") /* date as yyyymmdd */ ctime = time("N") /* time as hh:mm:ss, transform to hhmmss */ ctime = left(ctime,2) !! substr(ctime,4,2) !! right(ctime,2) metafile = "/EKM/ekmetc/" !! sysname !! "_metafile.xml" metafilelink = "/EKM/ekmetc/metafile.xml" debugfile = "/EKM/ekmlog/" !! sysname !! "_" !! cdate !! "_" , !! ctime !! "_debug" debugfilelink = "/EKM/ekmlog/debug" "open" metafile O_CREAT+O_WRONLY "660" /* create the file using open */ "close" RETVAL /* then close it again */ "unlink" metafilelink /* remove the old link */ "symlink" metafile metafilelink /* and create the new link */ "open" debugfile O_CREAT+O_WRONLY "660" /* create the file using open */ "close" RETVAL /* then close it again */ "unlink" debugfilelink /* remove the old link */ "symlink" debugfile debugfilelink /* and create the new link */ exit 0 /*end-of-REXX*/ Store this REXX as CRESLINK in a REXX library and run it before the EKM step: //IRXJCL01 EXEC PGM=IRXJCL,PARM='CRESLINK' //SYSEXEC DD DISP=SHR,DSN=your-rexx-library-goes-here //SYSTSPRT DD SYSOUT=* You may want to add some more sophisticated error handling and possibly other files to create. But this should give you an idea. -- Peter Hunkeler Credit Suisse ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
