Hello Mike and Jim, Thanks for the response. I am making a second level machine. Pretty much the same as the others I have made.
IPLs clean and I am doing well. It just seems to me that COPY CPVOL should get all the required CP stuff. I keep forgetting that COPY CPVOL just does not get all of the Directory area. Thanks for all bits and pieces.
