GENPREP is a more flexible alternative to the IBM ISPPREP program.

The added flexibility means that generic member names can be prepped (i.e. ASL* would prep all members of the input file whose names start with ASL).

Panels can be renamed when they are prepped by giving a generic output member name. The generic name lengths must be the same size as each other. i.e. to rename all panels that start with ASL to be OLD use ASL* for the input member pattern and OLD* for the output member pattern.

Additionally you can filter members to only those that were last updated by a particular userid.

You can generate both a trace log and/or a regular log by selecting the appropriate options.

The GENPREP panel looks like:

The ASLGPP01 Panel

GENPREP uses the program UCBSUBR from file 634 of the CBT tape. This can be found here.

To see a demonstration of GENPREP can be found on YouTube here.
