Scott,
I have read the various replies and no-one (that I see) has pointed out
that if you are using Enterprise COBOL 4.1, you are going about the task
the hard way. Enterprise COBOL (for several releases) has supported
dynamic allocation of files that does NOT require you to do explicit calls

There are very few zOS datasets that have fixed names. For instance my

You could also not have enough sessions define from your TOR CICS region to
your AOR CICS region this will cause your transaction to wait for a session.
This is sometimes what you what to do rather than to clog up the AOR with tasks

IBM only requires that you keep the last level qualifier intact. You can find
all your IBM datasets if you have a file on disk called **.INSTGUID.BOOK. This
file should have been made available when your system was first installed. You
can read the book by invoking the exec EOXVSTRT for book

There is a master list of registered product prefixes (three letters) that
describe which IBM and ISV products are associated with them. In SMP/E terms,
typically this means the three letters after the S or A in the LLQ of the

For example, SGIM in the LLQ (or DDDEF) will

We did it and were left with one pack for the VTOCs. They are

You could add a small pack then delete the full pack when empty.

AFAIK, the last ML1 cannot be deleted unless you turn off volume dump.

Make sure you normal migration cycle moves everything from ML1 to ML2 nightly.
