Best practice is surely to do what the vendor (ISV or IBM) tells you to do in this regard. You shouldn't be (and likely are not) making up things to put in SCHEDxx. You should not be modifying entries in IEFSDPPT.
I suspect that some IBM products that need a PPT entry are not identified in IEFSDPPT so SCHEDxx is needed for them. So SCHEDxx is not only for ISV things. Despite what Tom Conley wrote, I did not create D PPT, but it does exist. Maybe he did flog me (sometimes I probably deserve it). IEFSDPPT is not an anachronism unless you are modifying it. Do not modify it. It is what the operating system uses to ship things that it deems necessary, specifically to avoid the customer having to do something with SCHEDxx for those entries. Maybe before the availability of SCHEDxx (whenever that was), things were different Peter Relson z/OS Core Technology Design ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
