asdf13:

What "SYSTEM-name" are you trying to change in a directory entry?

If you prompt the CHGDIRE command and enter a User ID and Address, the remaining existing parameter values will be filled in for you. If you then press <F11>, the parameter names will be shown next to the values. Which parameter names are you thinking about?

Generally, restoring these files into QUSRSYS on a different system is _not_ a good idea. It would be far better to restore these into a work library. Then read each record and execute ADDDIRE for each one. Use old values when appropriate and specify new values for parameters you want to change.

 So, only way :
DSPDIRE to outfile (delete old entry on new system which are already restored) and then ADDDIRE from outfile, with modified parms ??                        


                                             Directory entry change

 User.-ID/Adresse . . . . :     AFCOPER   S44A1234       <-   shoult be changed to S44A9999
                                                                                              but not from menu possible

   Beschreibung  . . . . .        Auto Forms Control - Operator
   Systemname/Gruppe . . .   S44A9999                               already OK          
   Userprofil  . . . .                 AFCOPER                
   Netzwerkbenutzer-ID . .    AFCOPER  S44A1234      <-   shoult be changed to S44A9999

Thanks ! i think, the solution as discussed will work.
But for future "setting ups" with  systemcopies on a new hardware (with total save "Option 21" and go restore . . .
and then NETA (systemname)  must be changed for test reasons to TESTXYZ . Then i run again in this problems with DIRE !.........
 
Well, it isn't the -only- way, but it is, as far as I know, the -easiest- way.

That's true. IMO, it's not even the completely correct way. It merely addresses the specific question, unfortunately.
