Volume Not Mounted
Hi all, I have a problem after my last IPL of my mainframe machine. When I attempt to start my CICS region I found that the volume in which the CICS datasets are placed is not mounted. I tried the following thing to bring the volume to online but still I fail in my attempts.. I tired giving - /v 0B81,ONLINE- I got ,RESPONSE=P390 , IEE103I UNIT 0B81 NOT BROUGHT ONLINE , IEE763I NAME= IECVIOPM CODE= 0004 , IOS551I NO PATHS PHYSICALLY AVAILABLE , IEE764I END OF IEE103IRELATED MESSAGES Please help me in resolving this issue.

Re: Fujitsu's back

COBOL copybook - Java bean mapper??
A while back I wrote (largely for my own amusement) a dialog to take a COBOL copy book, compile it, and generate a Java class that could be used to map and access it. This took the obvious path of compiling the copybook as part of a stub program and analysing the MAP and SYSADATA output. It was pretty light weight (did not, for example, handle OCCURS), but now I am being asked to extend it and make it part of our standard tool kit. Before I plunge into this can I ask: 1) Is there any freeware or shareware already available to do this??? Or if not precisely this, to produce the sort of map of a COBOL file that can be fed in to such a process??? I don't want to reinvent the wheel. The CBT doesn't seem to have any thing. 2) If not, does any one know any recommended software packages?? This may be a silly question with an obvious answer, but I am afraid I have done nothing more than dabble in Java up to now.

Determining size information for existing QSAM dataset
I'm sure this has been around before but I couldn't find anything useful searching the archives.

Any comments? - I assume that RDJFCB for a not-yet-opened dataset will give SPACE= information only as coded in the DD statement (or SVC 99) which would be atypical and/or misleading for input datasets. Is that correct? The OPEN processing documentation describes DFSMS as merging the data from the DSCBs into the JFCB. How is that information available to an application program?

ESOTERIC decomissioning
You can find entries in a catalog that specify an esoteric. They look like x'8000' (tape) or x'2000' (disk) where is a binary sequence number. Other than say JES2 EXIT 6 or something similar, it would be harder to identify jobs that specify an esoteric. A batch job will JCL error if it specifies an esoteric that no longer exists. The problem with esoterics in the catalog is that there is a sequence number included in the device type entry, so if you remove one, all the other ones with larger sequence numbers will change; so if there are esoterics in catalog entries, they may point to a different esoteric. IIRC z/OS uses the real device type, so someone would have had to use IDCAMS DEFINE (or equivalent) to create a catalog entry that specifies an esoteric.
