In some cases, such as when IRRRID00 finds an ID in an access list or in a NOTIFY field, it generates a command to simply remove the ID. In other cases, such as an OWNER field, the ID cannot simply be removed. In these cases, IRRRID00 creates a value that is the replacement ID value. The default replacement ID value is ?id, where id is the ID that is being replaced. For example, if the utility was searching for the ID MARK, which is the owner of profile IRRDBU00.JCL.*, IRRRID00 generates this command:

ALTDSD DA('IRRDBU00.JCL.*') GENERIC OWNER(?MARK)

Because ?MARK is not a syntactically valid ID, you cannot run this command. Use the editor of your choice to change ?MARK to the ID you want to own this profile. If MARK owned more than one profile, you can globally change ?MARK to the new ID field for all of its occurrences with a global edit command. For example, to change all of MARK's ownership to ELVIS using ISPF, enter:

C ?MARK ELVIS ALL
