I would love that! I guess that I could create an "idcams" UNIX command using REXX and an ADDRESS TSO to run the actual IDCAMS command. But that offends my sense of elegance. > Of course, if you like batch, this would easily run under COZBATCH :-) > FWIW, you may have noticed that there is a com.ibm.jzos.AccessMethodServices > class that provides a callable IDCAMS interface from Java. Nice. But I'd get strung up by my privates if I ran Java on the z at work (despite this, I have 1.4.0, 1.4.2, 1.5, 1.6, and 1.7 beta installed). We have reduced our z9BC to use a group capacity of 35 MSUs. Management wants it down to a max of 30 MSUs by year end to save more on license fees. I would say more, but it would be unwise. And I'm a techie who doesn't understand business. > > Cheers, > > Kirk Wolf > Dovetailed Technologies > http://dovetail.com > > PS> consider using awk to build job to do the whole thing in a pipeline > without temp files. Neat. I use awk a bit, but it's not my language of choice. I'm a Perl person. But I tend to avoid much beyond simple scripting due to CPU constraints. > *Something* like: > <snip> -- John McKown Maranatha! <>< ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@bama.ua.edu with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
