Re: Mass Updates to JOB Cards for Account Code Changes
Jan - thank you very much. It is just what we need. I did get access to the manuals and had started reading about SCL. Our Endevor person wasn't aware of that. She was thinking she'd still have to ID the JCL to retrieve from the panels. Thanks again - this helps a lot!

Mass Updates to JOB Cards for Account Code Changes
We have been tasked to update the account codes for all our production and development jobs. Endevor is used for configuration management. Have not talked to our configuration (Endevor) person yet, but she is fairly new to Endevor, so may not be able to help a lot. Also, I don't have access to Endevor manuals - yet. So, I am assuming (hoping) we can check out jobs en mass from Endevor some how with a batch job. And then come up with with something (REXX EXEC maybe) to change the job cards to reflect the correct account code. Then run another batch job to return the jobs to Endevor. I'm not an Endevor user, so sorry for not knowing the proper terms for 'checking out', and 'returning'. Anyway, does this sound doable? I know folks have done mass updates to JCL, but not sure about having to work with Endevor. I've done mass updates on VM/CMS files in the past, not MVS though. Checked the archives for Mass Updates, Endevor and Account Code, but didn't see anything helpful right away.

Re: Mass Updates to JOB Cards for Account Code Changes
Larry, I don't know about Endevor, or how it stores JCL. We've done mass updates to JCL via batch (with a REXX, as you stated) and that has been extremely effective. Our ESP processing system picked up the changes to the master JCL libraries on it's next schedule build. Does Endevor work that way? If it's just PDS/PDSE members you're updating this should be a snap.

Re: Mass Updates to JOB Cards for Account Code Changes
Larry, Are you familiar with CPPUPDTE, an old MVS utility specifiaclly for mass updates. I'm not sure how well documented it is any more, maybes someone else has some doc in it. I will have to scrape the JCL from work and e-mail it around about to get it to you, so it may take a bit, but I'll get you a sample. It is all dependent upon your doing this process outside of Endevor, so keep that in mind.

Re: Mass Updates to JOB Cards for Account Code Changes
Brown, Larry wrote: We have been tasked to update the account codes for all our production and development jobs. And then come up with with something (REXX EXEC maybe) to change the job cards to reflect the correct account code. Try CPPUPDTE from IBM for mass changes in PDS. You can run with 'CHECK' to scan proposed changes and than retry with 'UPDATE' to apply changes. Crude, but it works. :-) Otherwise, you could write a REXX program while using ISPF services to search for membernames in a PDS. You can then use two STEM variables. One STEM variable for comparision and another STEM variable to use for your changes. I've done similar REXX jobs for mass updates, for example, replacing short words with meaningful descriptions in reports. Then run another batch job to return the jobs to Endevor. Why? Just do changes on original jobs and then let Endevor pick it up as usual. HTH!

Re: Mass Updates to JOB Cards for Account Code Changes
Larry, Is the new account code the same length as the old one? If it is shorter, there should be no big deal. If it is longer, you'll need to know things didn't break. I did this change in a previous life back in the nineties and still have my REXX code available if you want to contact me off list. CPPUPDTE is fine for in place updating but you'll want something more sophisticated than that (or PDSMAN's change facility) depending on what your change does to the job cards.
