I think the requirement for a member name $$$COIBM has been removed. I have used IPOUPDTE on 3 different sites in the past few years without this restriction. Many of the other utilities are great, but some cost money or may not be installed at some sites, so IPPOUPDTE is a great option. It also allows for updating multiple pds/pdse's in one execution and provides a PARM=CHECK or UPDATE to allow checking your changes before doing the actual UPDATE. The DD name(s) must start with @. A JCL example:
//IPOUPDTE JOB (24186),'CHANGE JCL',CLASS=P,MSGCLASS=O //* //************************************************************* //* MASS CHANGE TO LIBRARY MEMBERS * //STEP EXEC PGM=IPOUPDTE,PARM=CHECK will simulate changes //*STEP EXEC PGM=IPOUPDTE,PARM=UPDATE will perform changes //SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=* //@TEST DD DSN=GRT.GIOIDXM.JCL,DISP=SHR can use more than one LIB //@TEST2 DD DSN=GRP.GIOIDXM.JCL,DISP=SHR //SYSIN DD * CLASS=P<CLASS=A< *<A<SYSOUT=< AFOPER<BMC< /* There is a 4k? limit on the total bytes in the control cards, so if a large number of control cards is used, more than one run would be needed.

Hmmm. Also "Important: For CPPUPDTE and IPOUPDTE to work, each PDS to be searched MUST contain a member named $$$COIBM." Obviously that is something I could create but that creates problems of its own. May keep looking a little. Not sure if I have File Manager.

Server Pac CPPUPDTE is a program that enables you to search for a string across all the members of a PDS and replace that string with another string. CPPUPDTE is loaded into the LOADLIB data set (hlq.order_number.LOADLIB) during ServerPac installation. It also has an alias name of IPOUPDTE because the job is actually the same job that was shipped with CBIPO.
