Try the following command file:
parm dfid, dev=lp, pri=1, env=tt99.pub.sys
file f!dfid;dev=!dev,!pri;cctl;env=!env
setvar hpmsgfence 2
purge tempcmd,temp
setvar hpmsgfence 0
echo copy !dfid;all,*f!dfid >tempcmd
echo exit >>tempcmd
run spooknm.pub.sys;stdin=tempcmd
reset f!dfid
purge tempcmd,temp
I can't remember exactly where I picked it up from - but it was a gem I've
kept in my toolkit.
If you have MPEX, you can easily apply this to a <fileset>.
>Hi Folks,
