Patch is much improved if you have "diff3", not supplied by z/OS, but readily available elsewhere. SuperC provides the UPDCMS8 option which produces DELTA output in a form suitable for input to CMS UPDATE, and UPDMVS8 which produces DELTA output in a form suitable for SYSIN for IEBUPDTE. UPDCMS8 requires only that the OLD comparand have valid sequence numbers; UPDMVS8 requires that both OLD and NEW have valid sequence numbers. YTF!? Faced with this, I use the UPDCMS8 option, and have written a fairly simple Rexx filter to tranform UPDCMS8 format to UPDMVS8. -- gil ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
