Tracking changes (with a suitable tool) might be feasible. What you'll miss, however, is changes to product defaults. No one specifies every possible value. Sometimes the vendor changes a default or more often adds a new parameter/default that will not show up in a simple comparison with your parameter library. This is a highly nontrivial task. ;--(

There are some exceptions to what you monitor. TCPIP OBEY command allows you to specify your private library, but most others are quite known (parmlib concatenation, etc.) ITschak On Wed, Dec 18, 2019 at 10:57 PM Jesse 1 Robinson <jesse1.robin...@sce.com> wrote: > We've had enough bad weather around the world that raining on yet > another parade seems cruel and unusual.
