The problem with Windows Telenet is getting by the signon screen and any messages that come out such as "Password Will Expire..." and all the Broadcast messages. Plus if the LOGON is driven into ISPF you will have to compensate for that. The next question, is what type of commands? Steve

If want to do it in line mode and don't need encryption, you can use the Windows Telnet client to log into TSO and enter commands from the READY prompt. At my site we had a Tandem system do it that way. On Tue, Apr 26, 2016 at 5:59 PM Donald Likens wrote: > I seem to

I've known shops that let serial or model number creep into naming conventions. Like Mark, we control names across upgrades. Back in the Stone Age, IBM used to recommend embedding model number in SMF and JES names. And that required a cold start to change! Sort of nuts it seems to me. . . .

HI-A is the maximum RBA in that extent or all extents. Maximum possible size of the dataset is not listed. HI-U is the current highest RBA in that extent or all extents. A record added to the end would be HI-U plus 1. On Tue, Apr 26, 2016 at 9:20 AM, Nguyen Dt wrote: > Thank
