Try running BULDACCT just before you invoke SYSGEN. BULDACCT will create two files: BULDJOB1 and BULDJOB2; the first recreates accounting structure while the second sets UDCs. To recover you would do an INSTALL (which would create a SYS account), restore BULDJOB1 and stream it (which would build the rest of the accounting structure), restore all the files, then stream BULDJOB2 to set all the UDCs. -- Evan
