Alain, The "CP Planning and Administration" manual, have a paragraph for each command, saying where to code each. For INCLUDE, by example, says "MUST follow the USER card". No other cards are allowed between them. Personally, I prefer to use DIRMAINT to do the changes. Example: A "batch file" with all the ACCOUNT cards is more easy to create than edit the source USER DIRECT. Like it:
FOR USER1 ACCOUNT ACCT1 FOR USER2 ACCOUNT ACCT2 FOR USER3 ACCOUNT GRP001 ... FOR USER999 ACCOUNT GRP600 Only one command can process all the entries in this file: DIRM BATCH batch file All are correctly positioned. If you really need to change the USER DIRECT manually, see this Chapter: "Making Multiple Updates to a Directory", into "z/VM V6R1 Directory Maintenance Facility Tailoring and Administration Guide SC24-6190-01" Regards, ______________________________________________ Clovis From: Alain Benveniste <a.benveni...@free.fr> To: IBMVM@listserv.uark.edu Date: 04/08/2011 03:44 AM Subject: Re: Dirmaint : cards ordre Sent by: The IBM z/VM Operating System <IBMVM@listserv.uark.edu> Yes Dave i mean that. I tested from what i found in the doc cards order. I put a account card before a include and dirmaint did not validate this order. I didn't find in the doc a more fine sequence card explanation...
