Mainframe, MVS and zOS Discussion

Hi,

For a project we've made change in the LRECL of a flat-file. For this 100+ jobs are affected and and I have to check out all 100+ jobs from baseline libraries to the chageman package. I'm checking them out ans staging one by one, it's very time consuming and long process. Is there anyway to checkout and stage all of them in single go instead of staging them individually?

Appreciate your help.

I am pretty sure you can just get a member list up and select the components that you need. Same for putting them back and promoting.

I'm still trying to get this working

At my current shop I don't use Change-man but Change-man provides "mass-compile/stage" option. From a distant memory:

Place all 100+ component names into one sequential file of type FB and LRECL=8. Use batch mode to stage them. Select batch mode in option 5, it'll prompt for dataset. Give above dataset which you've created with 100+ component names. CHECKOUT MODE ===> 2 (1-Online, 2-Batch). It will checkout all 100 components one by one for you.

For more details, please refer to Chapter 6 in changeman user guide.
