Hi Robert
Wow fantastic, Your suggestion is working!
Your solution makes sense and matches with the manual statement Paul copied
in this email trail earlier -
'Issuing a table service with a LIBRARY parameter containing a ddname that
does not exist causes the previous library to be closed'

As I hope has now been agreed, an empty data set, an empty pool, stack, or
queue, an empty whatever is not per se an error.
There are circumstances in which the user of a whatever may wish to treat its
empty state as an error, but this is for that user, not the whatever, to
decide; and as a

Gil's right. I was speaking about a problem described by others not
immediately witnessed by myself and I spoke too hastily. A "generated SYSIN
DD *" should never produce an empty dataset; that would be a contradiction.
I agree with Gil. An empty SYSIN or other input dataset is in most cases a

I'm surprised it took Brian so long to respond; he's constantly berating us
that such "non (IBM)
sanctioned" upgrades are fine if handled sensibly.
Just don't screw it up - guess whose private parts will be on the chopping
block.
Can't really blame customers for being spooked about N+2.

finish reading the directions for NSIS.

There is absolutely no reason to make multiple jumps, especially when you
