Custompac Dialog -- Change a Mountpoint?

Hi, All, I'm tailoring a CICS ServerPac and need to change one of the zFS mountpoints, but cannot seem to find the "magic incantation" to do so anywhere in the "Modify System Layout" part of the dialog. Nothing in the "help" about it, either. I'm sure I've done it in past ServerPacs, but cann

Re: dynamic STEPLIB

hello Andy, but it does work for us :-( If you use for example Connect:Direct (which is now an IBM product) and you don't have defined a STEPLIB you will receive S806. An ISPLLIB is also defined with LIBDEF but does not help. And there are some more examples ... Juergen
