How to create a pdf file from Mainframe

[sudershan ravi]

Hi Everyone,

Could someone help me on creating a pdf file from the mainframe job. What
are the options we have?

Thanks,
Sudershan

Access registers

[Sudershan Ravi]

Hi,
Why do we use access registers?

BDAM files

[Sudershan Ravi]

Why BDAM files are infrequently used? what are the complexities we face when we 
do Direct Access of a file.

Thanks,
Sudershan.

Re: Load module

Hi David,
Yes. My question was "In a called module, how do we determine if it was
called dynamically or statically"

Re: Load module

[sudershan ravi]

Hi David,

Sorry for the confusion caused. I strongly agree this is a basic question
and I too understand the Static, all the loads will be loaded in to main
memory and the load will be placed in to the main memory during execution
time, Dynamic. We can give Call macro and Load macro for the same. My
question was, what are all the possible options where we can say Static /
Dynamic by seeing anything? once again, am sorry for the confusion caused.
Thanks

Excellent explanation. Thanks a lot Gil

Load module

[Sudershan Ravi]

How can I say that the module is dynamic or Static? where can I find the info?

Hex and Decimal

[Sudershan Ravi]

The maximum value of a decimal self-defining term is 231−1, while the maximum
value a binary or hexadecimal self-defining term is 232−1. Why are they 
different?
