2 years ago Allow -C parameter if there's no .step file and no completed build. This allows ./sysgen.py -C to kick off a build from a clean environment so dummies like me don't keep forgetting the -C when they have to restart the build and end up doing the first step over and over until they realize they forgot the -C
Didnt mean to attach them both to the same pull request, sorry!
Change the default volser naming from numeric (111111) to alpha (AAAAAA) in sysgen.py. Using numeric volsers limits the number of DASD creatable in any step to 9 volumes, and the final customization step already creates 8 volumes as it is. Using alphabetical volsers at least stretches that list to 26 from 9. In the future, this should include a bounds check to make sure we don't go past ZZZZZZ or possibly revert back to "real" numeric volsers like 000001++ or something.
