Thinking back and firing up those old brain cells I recall my lead MVS guy use to export the IODF, alter it as he needed to (adding new esoterics?) and import it back to HCD and build the IODF and IOCDS. I've never done this and I'm not sure your level of HCD will support it but it's worth a try.

When I use HCD to 'View generics by name', I see 3590-1, but I can't change it. Can I just add a 3590-1 in 'Work with EDTs' and then that override the one the system generates?
