Lionel, What change are you asking about - the fact that the 2.3 system shows a link instead of the actual output or that the userID and groups are different?
If it is that one shows a link and the other shows actual files and directories, check your 2.2 system to find out whether /etc is a directory or if it is a link to $SYSNAME/etc. My 2.2 system shows the link: Prod1:VTAM:/home: # ls -la /etc lrwxrwxrwx 1 VTAM CSWADMIN 12 Sep 16 2016 /etc -> $SYSNAME/etc Prod1:VTAM:/home: # But if I resolve the $SYSNAME and display, I get the actual contents of /etc: Prod1:VTAM:/home: # ls -la /SYSTEM/etc total 370 drwxr-xr-x 14 VTAM CSWADMIN 8192 Apr 7 2017 . drwxr-xr-x 6 VTAM CSWADMIN 8192 Apr 25 2015 .. drwxr-xr-x 2 VTAM CSWADMIN 8192 Apr 25 2015 PFA drwxr-xr-x 2 VTAM CSWADMIN 8192 Apr 25 2015 Printsrv drwxr-xr-x 8 VTAM CSWADMIN 8192 Apr 25 2015 dfs -rw-r--r-- 1 VTAM CSWADMIN 2587 Apr 6 2017 init.options -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU] On Behalf Of Dyck, Lionel B.
