Is there any way in which we can make changes in Changeman permanent using a sort jcl in which we use changeman pds?

For example

A00P.CHGMAND.APPLN.#018907.SRC is my package pds of changeman for package number 018907.I am using this in a sort jcl for FINDREP and changes are reflected in A00P.CHGMAND.APPLN.#018907.SRC.but same changes are not reflected in the real package.

Could anyone help on this??

None of what you say makes sense. Real package? All you have done is to replace manual editing by usimg something else to update your code. Everything else still has to be done in the same way as before. Why should sort update something that it knows nothing about. All it knows are the datasets you specify and the control cards you supply. It knows nothing about changeman.

Hello jemonthomas,

Are you asking... changes made inside the changeman controlled PDS is not reflected in the actual members of the package. If this is what you asked, then there is no way you can do that. It doesn't serve the purpose of changeman.

Well - short answer is -- do a cut/paste from modified "A00P.CHGMAND.APPLN.#018907.SRC" in your change-man package.

Change-Man has its own staging libraries. When one compiles a program, under-the-covers change-man produces the compile, link-edit Job for the given program, makes an entry for version, keeps track of versions and does couple of other things. Said that, the PDS you mention, is just an another interface to access the PDS members to view them -- but any changes you want to make in the program has to happen in the change-man package, not the way you expect them to.
