Don't put the burden of multi-system maintenence on PUT2PROD's shoulders. You might be able to bend PUT2PROD to your will, but the design of the entire installation/service process is, as you imply, for a single system. I think people do things as you describe in order to avoid repetition and save time, both excellent goals. We're looking at ways to reach them and we're more than happy to hear how (and why!) people maintain their systems the way they do. Alan Altmark z/VM Development IBM Endicott
