I'm having the following problem and wonder if there is a simple way round it (or if there's another solution I can use).
At the moment, I have a source PDS (FB 80) that contains the Rexx scripts I'm working on.
Once they're good to go, I copy them to a "public" library that users have access to.
The problem I'm having is that the public library is defined as VB 255 so that it can be concatenated to existing script libraries when the user logs on.
The private library has loads of scripts that have numbering in positions 73-80. When I copy these to the public library, that numbering remains and the script crashes until I remove the numbering with num on;unnumber

Is there some way of, say, defining the profile for my CLIST library (called 'myuser.TEST.CLIST') such that num on;unnumber is the default for all members (existing or new) or something similar for the public library such that when I copy from private to public, the numbering disappears?

Or do I have to remember to run these commands EVERY time I edit the private PDS?

misi01,

Why dont you update the private pds to remove line numbers in ALL members and then change to num off in profile so that you would never have line numbers at all.

Alternatively how are you copying to public pds? Utility or 3.3 copy ? You can copy bytes 1 thru 72 so that you would never copy the line numbers.

I followed your first suggestion (remove line numbers in all members).

What I didn't understand how to do was to change the profile for the PDS to num off.
Do I do it from one of the menu options after I've selected edit under 3.4 (couldn't see anything obvious)?
Do I have to edit a member and enter "num off" which then applies to all members (existing or new)?
I googled but all I could seem to find was that you could do it, but not how.

misi01,

Open the PDS in EDIT mode from 3.4 or option 2 and select any member and type PROF to see the current profile. Check if the PROF shows LOCKED.

Perfect. Thanks a lot.
