Yes, that is the stuff. IBM sends us TERSEd files and we have to DETERSE them. On that better system that has to send more dumps to IBM there is t he TRSMAIN program to help reduce the bandwidth for dump transfer. But I thi nk it would violate multiple IBM legalese documents for us to reverse engine er that program into a VM usable module or pipe stage.
I can understand that some code MUST be kept secret, but if it is good enough for one system, why isn't it good enough for the other systems (Do es VSE have a TERSE program for its dumps?)? /Tom Kern /301-903-2211 On Wed, 11 Jul 2007 10:49:36 -0500, Sebastian Welton <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wr ote: > >Well there's a DETERSE MODULE on the 5E5 disk but I wonder if TERSE has >anything to do with the TRSMAIN package available for zOS systems which >PACKs and UNPACKs data so that it is compressed (I only mentions this >because its gets delivered in a dataset with TERSE in the name: >PTFLCG.TERSE409.LOADLIB) > >Seb >======================== ========================= =======================
