Hi,

Is there any way I can make the changes to a PDS member without changing changed date/time?
using G command we can only delete or reset the version and ID but can not control change date.

Please advise.

Regards,
Neil

Why are you trying to conceal the fact that you have edited the member?

Turn ISPF statistics off, then there won't be any date / time fields recorded. Of course, if this violates site policy then the consequence could be anything up to and including employee termination -- but that depends upon the site.

Actually I want to make a little change to the program before moving it to production and user has alrady approved hence the program change date should not be later than approval date as per the change control procedure rule.

that's the reason I want to make that change without impacting the change date/time

You are an obnoxious cretin, nothing more, nothing less, and should be fired on the spot!

sounds as if this topic should be titled:
I did not get my work done on time, and don't want anyone to know.

If your site policy is to get approval from the user again, then you need to follow site policy -- otherwise, you may wind up looking for another job since you've violating site policy.

Trying to hide mistakes rarely works, and management tends to look MUCH more severely upon somone hiding mistakes than someone admitting the mistake in the first place, since managers don't know what else you've hidden from them.

IMO a site that depends on the integrity of ISPF stats is just asking for trouble. Sorry, but it wouldn't be ethical to advise you on how to circumvent your site's change control process.

It sounds like you need a source management system.

Suggest you don't do that - why? Well, suggest again you don't do that. I can understand where you are coming from but trust us, please do not do this.

Let the program go in, write an e-mail pro-actively, get approvals and get done with it. Or if you can stop/delay the installation, do that but do with approvals.

just read an interesting political article about the 'fat-jap syndrome'
which is where the speaker,
caught in the trap of his own making,
attempts to change focus from the actual issue to non-issues.

oh, I have to have the last word, also.


by the way, look at ISPF Option 3.5.

Or the LM***** ISPF service. There is nothing secure about ISPF stats. They should only be treated as a guideline.

I would advise the TS to draw this insecurity to the attention of his management. If they are not already aware of it, they ought to be grateful for the information and rush right out to their favourite vendor and buy a source management system. Or start using SCLM, which is free. icon_smile.gif

From his profile:

Small wonder as to how things like the recent RBS/NatWest disaster occur, with "consultants" surfing the net. His PM, and I would not be surprised if dbz got something similar:
