Nathan, The find/chgrp/chown worked great.
Thanks for pointing it out to me. John P.

Example below will find in current directory (.) all files belonging to user 5001 (UID unless you have a user named "5001") and change the owner to 0 (root). find . -user 5001 -exec chown 0 {} \; Second example, finds files in current directory (.) that belong to group 5001 (GID unless you have a group named "5001") and change the group to SOMEGROUP find . -group 5001 -exec chgrp SOMEGROUP {} \; Notice that chgrp, chown, and the user/group parameters of find will accept either a user/group name or a UID/GID -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU] On Behalf Of Ed Jaffe Sent: Thursday, February 09, 2017 4:11 PM To: IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU Subject: Re: OMVS Mass Reassign of File Owner On 2/9/2017 1:04 PM, John P.

You can probably do this in one command by using the output of 'find' as input to 'sed' or similar. -- Edward E Jaffe Phoenix Software International, Inc 831 Parkview Drive North El Segundo, CA 90245 http://www.phoenixsoftware.com/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN E-MAIL CONFIDENTIALITY NOTICE: This e-mail from Donegal Insurance Group may contain CONFIDENTIAL and legally protected information.
