are:

UA36927 - z/OS R7
UA36928 - z/OS R8

If you say so. But the IBM Enhanced Customer Data Repository Service
page at:

http://www-05.ibm.com/de/support/ecurep/mvs_create.html

appears to be unaware of this. I'll try to contact them.

I followed the link on the page you posted to the "program and instructions,: and found this at that link (http://techsupport.services.ibm.com/390/trsmain.html):

"TRSMAIN Utility
"In z/OS Release 1.9 the TRSMAIN program has been added to the BCP element of z/OS, and it has been redesigned to support large format sequential data sets. This program has also been rewritten to follow IBM programming conventions. The new utility is called AMATERSE.
AMATERSE is available on z/OS Releases 7 and 8 via PTFs UA36927 and UA36928 for APAR OA19194."

Do you see something different?
