Kees, Could you expand on the 15 WHEN clauses?
Provide a snippet? How does the * vs. % not help? Are you really parsing it down that granularly?

Bingo! This is what I had stored many years ago somewhere in migrated memory: the COPYFILT macro. It is not completely automatic, but it takes only one command to fire the automation of updating multiple tables in multiple routines. I will have a look at it again to see if it helps me this time. A function like the FILTERDD would even be more convenient. And,by the way, if someone is making up a wishlist for ACS routines: subroutines would be very helpful and also a substring function (find and replace), like in: when (&mgmtclas eq B2DA%%%%)set &mgtmclas = B1DA%%%%. This now takes 15 WHEN clauses for each of the %%%% values. Thanks, Kees. -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU] On Behalf Of Elardus Engelbrecht Sent: Monday, July 15, 2013 15:21 To: IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU Subject: Re: ACS routine imbed/include function?

You've got my curiousity turned on and I searched my *ss off since your first post! It was indeed a long time I saw any announcement for ACS enhancements if at all. But then I wonder if you were thinking about 'COPYFILT macro: COPYLIB facility for FILTLISTs'. Granted that is for initial SMS setup. On the otherside, I wonder if you were refering to FILTERDD in DFDSS. There you can probably concatenate at your leisure... Hmmm, perhaps time for a Share thing? Think of it: one set of Include/exclude for DB2 folks, another for other dbas, etc. Groete / Greetings Elardus Engelbrecht ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
