Working in a cooperative development project, I resorted to using basic XEDIT and generating my updates with SuperC UPDCMS8. I went to SR with the ERASE EOF misbehavior; got WAD. OTOH, UPDMVS8 requires valid line numbers on both comparands; UPDCMS8 only on OLD. So I have generated IEBUPDTE input using UPDCMS8 plus a Rexx filter. diff/patch is more flexible; no 73-80 dependency. -- gil ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
