Steve,
Those are strong words. I came up through the ranks so I learned how to have
"system programmer" eyes, looking for errors. Then went into Systems
Programming and then Development. What I have noticed is more complaining about
console messages flooding consoles, instead of people learning
I don't agree. WTORs are an anachronism but SYSLOG is one of the best
things about z/OS systems. When you consider sophisticated modern tools
like Splunk and the ELK stack the syslog looks better than ever.

Our customers do read manuals. In fact, they raise bug reports when they
find something that isn't correct. The manual is the most important

Mostly performance analysis products. We develop CICS, IMS and MVS tools
in partnership with IBM as well as our own products.
Our IBM product manuals are all on KC.

What about NFS?
More general: What is the work flow?
Usually the transfer of many big files is not the goal itself. Maybe the
files should be opened and read byt some application. NFS (of DRF/SMB)
would save the time by simply avoiding the transfer before the
applications start reading data.

It's a piece of cake to implement and AOPBATCH already does it, which is an
IBM product.
Ah, and so you answered your own question. You want a good IBM UNIX JCL
invocation program?

It's been forever since I last had to use a 'native' method because I've had
some form of the PDS command or its ISV descendent to do the fix. StarTool (at
least) has a 'share' option that allows data set fixes even when a data set is
allocated. Not needed often and potentially risky, but it mak

John your last assumption is correct. What I'm attempting to do is this. We
have utility A, which I want to replace with utility B without making hundreds
of JCL changes, and going through change control.
I have an assembler program which invokes CLIST/REXX. I'll rename my assembler
program

Do I understand correctly?
You want to submit the same JCL you are currently submitting.
By fiddling with the library containing utility A (or possibility a library
earlier in some concatenation), the step that originally executed A will now
execute your program.
Your program will change
