Thanks Steve, that's what I was hoping to here. Larry Brown

Endevor is used for configuration management. Have not talked to our configuration (Endevor) person yet, but she is fairly new to Endevor, so may not be able to help a lot. Also, I don't have access to Endevor manuals - yet. So, I am assuming (hoping) we can check out jobs en mass from Endevor some how with a batch job. And then come up with with something (REXX EXEC maybe) to change the job cards to reflect the correct account code. Then run another batch job to return the jobs to Endevor. I'm not an Endevor user, so sorry for not knowing the proper terms for 'checking out', and 'returning'. Anyway, does this sound doable? I know folks have done mass updates to JCL, but not sure about having to work with Endevor. I've done mass updates on VM/CMS files in the past, not MVS though. Checked the archives for Mass Updates, Endevor and Account Code, but didn't see anything helpful right away. <SNIP> We use Endevor here. We run it in the "penalty box" (low powered CEC), we use batch processing rather than online (thru TSO). So, yes, you can check out all the members you want (JCL, MACRO, etc.) in a batch run. You can then update them however you like, and then via batch check them all back in and depending on how things are done, promote them from the initial "stage" to the production "stage".
