BULDACCT.PUB.SYS can make that a much easier task, though perhaps not a simpler
one.

Another way I've handled such things is to build a list of groups that need to
be "tweaked" using :LISTGROUP or more often :REPORT and then editing the
resulting file into a job stream or command file to make all the changes.  QUAD
and QEDIT make that pretty straightforward with their ability to change column
ranges in multiple lines with a single command.  In both those editors, the
resulting commands can even be executed directly in the editor.

In either case, it's a good idea to check any job $STDLISTs for errors or other
unexpected results.

BTW, the HOMEVS can only be changed if there are no files present in a mounted
old HOMEVS.

A quick test I usually do after making HOMEVS changes is to build a dummy file
in one of the groups.  If that succeeds, files should be able to be restored
into the volset.
