I found the Naviquest Manual has some info on COPYFILT in it International Technical Support Organization NaviQuest Demonstration and Hands-On Usage Guide April 1996 SG24-4720
ยท Use COPYFILT for ACS filters Commonly the ACS changes that you make to include a new data subtype to be SMS-managed are to FILTLISTs. The DFSMS FIT process recommends that you have a single member that includes all FILTLISTs used by all ACS routines. You then make changes to the FILTLISTs in this single member. After all changes are made, you can move all FILTLISTs from the single member to each of the ACS routines. NaviQuest has a COPYFILT command to help you in the maintenance of FILTLISTs. The COPYFILT command automatically moves the FILTLISTs from a single PDS member to each of your ACS routines. COPYFILT also enforces change control documentation.

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
