On a rather tangential rant, I am annoyed with people who gratuitously stuff $$$ all over in volsers, dsnames, and anything else they get their hands on, evidently just because they think $$$ are so sexy. Inside USS, these become extremely annoying in trying to figure out the required escapage. sas On Mon, Sep 12, 2022 at 11:15 AM Carmen Vitullo <petevi...@gmail.com> wrote: > I know the $SYSNAME. resolves to the system name but in my BPXPRMxx > member I use /&SYSNAME/etc and /&SYSNAME/var > > I use /$VERSION for my mount-point for the SYSRES specific mount point > for the version ROOT > > Carmen > > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
