Does anyone else find it a little absurd that a trivial change to some JCL is a constraint violation but way outside the box solutions (which are much more complicated and may require a lifetime of maintenance) such as SMF and JES exits or a software modification to the change management system (which will probably require JCL changes any way if even feasible) that fiddles with some system control block(s) are acceptable? This looks like one of those PHB edicts to fix the problem but not change anything. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
