I neglected to mention that the new USERC DIRECT A must be copied back to the appropriate SYSC-owned mdisk (MAINT 2CC?) as USER DIRECT.

Save as USERC DIRECT A (perhaps). 5) LINK or ATTACH the new sysres volume to your userid using the device address specified on the DIRECT statement 6) Issue DIRECTXA USERC DIRECT A 7) IPL!
