Gary,

I had to pipe up on an issue that should not exist in MPE.

Why would you need to use SYSGEN on a reload? The using an CSLT and a
complete backup with the directory option, the only thing you need to do is
to reload the OS from the tape, which gives you the same I/O configuration
and to restore your system volume set (with directory and NMCONFIG).

The user volumes (if they haven't crashed too) will be recognized and
mounted.

I would suggest that you run BULDACCT before your backup (and keep the files
in a secure place). You can run the BULDJOB# for anything that didn't get
set up right (if necessary).

Point is, why do you need to do all that configuration stuff?
