First If you were not aware, there is a TSO REXX list that might be helpful with this. To join if you have not done so, use this URL
TSO REXX http://www2.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?TSO-REXX Second, I would look to use REXX plus ISPF to do this which can be a batch job. ISPF runs fine in foreground and batch The process would basically be 1) Get todays date, then identify the date you need (today tomorrow or yesterday) 2) Using ISPF LM (Library Management) Functions - find the member you want to update 3) Using ISPF Macro - either backup the current member or update the current member you want 4) Save that member where you want it This is just a high level concept of what could work. Depending on how you want this process to work, you might want to change to a file input for your parms.
