Hi Vignesh,

to generate CHPID/CNTLUNIT/IODEVICE/EDT etc. statements as necessary, which are 
then input to the batch IOCP/MVSCP import job.  Of course the sky's the limit 
with edit macros.

I've tried to attach a sample; it's my first time so let's see if I did it 
right.  It builds various statements to support the installation of a disk 
array that is attached via cascaded FICON switches, with two-byte link 
addressing, etc.  I'm sure it could be improved by a willing reader; did the 
job for me at least.

cheers,
Peter
