Jim & Peter make good points as to why IBM won't ever provide this function.
STEPLIB is a "tool" that was originally created pre TSOLIB for system programmers to do testing. If used as intended, allocate STEPLIB when logging on and never change it unless you re-logon you shouldn't have any integrity issues. Changing STEPLIB while a task is running (split screen) is just asking for trouble. Yes, I know that's not how sysprogs or developers are going to work so they can take their chances. STEPLIB is that simple. Allocate the new libraries, under an SRB close the old STEPLIB and open the new one then update TCBJLB. If all libraries are authorized you'll have an authorized STEPLIB just as if it was coded in JCL. One library that is NOT authorized and you have a non-authorized STEPLIB. Do many shops actually put CBT tools into "production"? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
