Boy, and how! Not a computer issue, but I remember the first winter my wife
and I had in our first apartment. We woke up suddenly in the middle of the
night smelling something burning, and ran frantically around the apartment
looking for the fire.
I no longer panic at that smell at the onset
Actually, if just a burning smell, might be a lot of dust inside the computer.

Can you confirm that SYS1.SERBLNKE and SYS1.SGRBLINK come after BMCLINK and
BMCLNKE (assuming you have RMF)?
The IBM data sets are new in z/OS V2R5, replacing SYS1.SERBLINK, when RMF was
split into RMF Reporter and z/OS Data Gatherer.

we use BMC mainview / AMI OPS for Db2 and we have had an issue with threads
showing a status of "ACT in NETW".
In order to get more information, I understand there are status codes in IFCID

to those threads?

TBH I had wondered about a terminology difference, but the fact that nobody
else jumped in convinced me that I wasn't the only one going "Wow".
And unless COBOL is the only programming language you've ever seen, it
seems unlikely that you wouldn't know what a variable is.

The name of ther song is called Haddock Eyes. Data names are variable names;
the fields holding the data are variables. In fact, the manual uses the term

What functions are you using to copy the members…

There is a mention in the link that LMMOVE AND LMCOPY don’t require LMOPEN.

Good Morning,
I have a small REXX which essentially copies members of one PDSE to another.
It iterates over members of the first PDSE and copies the members to the second

After about eighty members are copied, my LMOPEN fails with a return code of 8.
I checked the manual and a return code
The librarys In your steplib or joblib in a batch job, one of them is not apf

We use cmf instead of rmf. I had the same problem on lpar was on z/os 2.5 and
the lpar was on z/os 2.3. We open a ticket with the great BMC and they couldn't
figure it out for months. So, we cross our fingers and converted the other
lpar to z/os 2.5 and CMF started working correctly.
