Getting back to the original problem of changing file equations,
Maybe another way, seeing that you are using streamx probably also use MPEX
which has version of EDIT which allows changing string in a bunch of files by
using wildcards, so set up a batch file to change to required string in all
required files, it would help if all job files are in a special group. A sample
job that does this sort of thing is below.
6/NEIL.SYS AT 11:55 AM print quizchg.job
!JOB QUIZCHG,RATES.QUIZ;OUTCLASS=6,1,1
!MPEX
EDITCHG [log in to unmask],"LIST OF VOTERS","LIST OF CEO VOTERS"
EXIT
!EOJ

a couple of thoughts.... given jay's original description that this only
involves jobs, if he takes the route of implementing a logon udc it will be
important to test for hpjobtype (only want 'j'). more importantly though, if
this is implemented as a system-level udc, special consideration will have to be
taken for 'nonstandard' jobs. you don't want, say a third-party software
install job to blow off (or even worse) or abort because of the added
functionality.
i'm sure jay has already realized this (bright guy that he is :-)...but
sometimes it doesn't hurt to state the obvious. - d

Hi all,
I was recently asked to make the same change to the file equations in
several jobs (in one account), and got to thinking how I might get the jobs
to read a single file that contained the file equations that are used in all
of the jobs.
We use Vesoft's Streamx. I'd like to be able to capture the last three
characters in the job's hpjobname to use in the file equation. So that, if
the job's name is JTRA810, I would have a file equation like this:
!file print1=TRA810;dev=lp
