Hi, What we do to get around this is to use ISPF skeletons (with a bit of REXX involved) which we run as part of a two stop batch process using Naviquest. Within the REXX, we build a table of our DB2 systems, and then the skeleton has )DOT constructions to loop around building those 15 WHEN clauses in a standard way. The first step works out the next suffix for the routine, builds it into a work dataset, and sure SUPERC to compare to the existing (current) routine (which we review to make sure there is no unexpected change). Having reviewed that, the next step copies into the production ACS routines dataset, and does the translate and validate. The activation is then done manually after the two jobs are run.
We don't really have local content, although there are a little extra )SEL type inclusions by sysplex in the infrastructure part of the skeleton (the ACS code is thus in some way standard across all our life-cycle sysplexes).

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 ******************************************************** For information, services and offers, please visit our web site: http://www.klm.com.
