Hi,
We do have JES328X working on z/OS 1.12 and 1.13 with no issues.
It's a kind of software that is rarely modified, even when changing
z/OS releases.
Did you change any VTAM or JES2 definition ?
Don't discard a hardware problem too.
I don't know if it helps but our BUFSIZE is 1520.

I'm not aware of anything distributed by IBM. Why not just write some REXX code
to use IGGCSI00 to find the DSNs you want (or parse a LISTCAT) and use that to
generate a series of jobs. Each job just does something like:
//JOBNAME JOB ...
//TOUCH EXEC PGM=IDCAMS
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
//INDSN
SU_SEC = SU_HOUR / (ENGINES * 60 * 60)
Not quite, I think. You don't get the full 60 seconds for each additional
engine. Better:
SU_SEC = SU_HOUR / ((ENGINES * 60 * 60)*FACTOR)
Where FACTOR is less than 1.0.

Too many unknowns to be of much help.
Can't even begin to answer your question about what software would produce a
given corruption pattern; there are -so- many possibilities where a translation
might occur and thus corrupt the data. Indeed, the corruption might be as
massive as what you are

Factor is in fact a decreasing function of ENGINES. It drops off in a
moderately but clearly convex way with increasing values of ENGINES.
You need a table of the form

ENGINES(2) = . . .
. . .
ENGINES(n) = . . .
There is a recent SHARE presentation that contains such a table.

Some experimentation for plausible ranges of FACTOR values strongly
suggests that this computation should be done with an appropriate mean
in each specific context. My suggestion of a table was thus a more

The data can be kept after it rolls off the GDG, but it is just a file

Do we need to have the SSHD daemon running to recognize the FTP's or am I going
