hi all -

with all the discussion lately about folks wanting to create new
private volumes or move accounts around, i thought i'd remind
everyone of a potential 'gotcha' in buldjob2.  buldjob2 (the
one that resets the udc's) has the following line right at the
top of the job:

SETCATALOG [udc file name];APPEND;SYSTEM
IF CIERROR<> 0 THEN...

gee - if all a person is doing is rebuilding an account, the
system udc probably hasn't been messed with and you could
end up with the file being set twice.  using the append
option is *not* going to set cierror to a non-zero value.
could create some ugliness (ymmv, of course)    - d
