Hi Peter, The documentation for GETE warns: "Note: Processing of the ESD records returned by a GETE call should not make assumptions about the order of the returned ESD records..." The expectation was that there would never be a very large number of classes, so that a simple class lookup (as it sounds like you've done) would be acceptable.
Yeah that's been the problem with MODMAP. In general for this sort of thing you should be creating the workmod (CREATEW) with INTENT=ACCESS and doing the INCLUDE with ATTRIB=Y to preserve things. That is what is done for both IEBCOPY (between PDS & PDSE) and UNIX cp/mv (from UNIX filesystem to dataset). I presume you are doing that, otherwise you would need to rebind (BINDW) prior to using GETE. Unfortunately that's the problem, the use of MODMAP changes the module structure, and using INTENT=BIND, thus requiring a BINDW call before doing GETE, can potentially change the module organization (i.e. change locations of items).
