We are collectively diminished when we experience a loss of participation. Fare thee well Sire Gilmore Well put, Dave, total agreement on my part. Honestly I was even looking forward to John Gilmore's posts. Each and every time. Quite often motivated me to look up one or more of the words he uses with Seymour-esque precision. And quite often I failed to find their meaning even by doing a google search. I don't mind him displaying his outstanding education and knowledge. Same as I don't mind Shmuel Metz displaying pedantry (especially since he once described the envy he felt when seeing someone drive along with a 'PEDANT' car plate IIRC) plus his sharp humor and irritatingly precise memory and education. As I don't know neither John nor Seymour personally I tend to perceive their IBM-MAIN representation like characters in a play. Ah, here comes Sire Gilmore (again: well put, Dave) answering in his very own style. The fact that I do not know a lot of things won't stop me from posting (though I'm mostly lurking). I've been exposed to only a small subset of possible product/configuration combinations in the mainframe universe so even if I think that I do know an answer to a question or that I do ask a question in appropriate terms, I do know that I may well be wrong and that I will be corrected. Sometimes (most of the time) in a gentle tone, sometimes (seldom) in a harsher tone, sometimes (very seldom) in a condescending tone. The ease with which I accept an answer even if the tone doesn't seem fit is directly proportional to the respect these people have built with their contributions over the years. Makes me always read their posts as if they had surrounded them with a clin d'oeil (sorry for the french here but I didn't find an adequate english term for the ;-) ).

Re: IBM-MAIN Digest - 19 Aug 2007 to 20 Aug 2007 (#2007-232)
The issue is quite possibly scalability. Only a tiny fraction of Solaris users need huge machines, and scalability is something IBM is quite good at. It might make good business sense for Solaris to cede the very top end to IBM and avoid the huge expense of extreme scalability when only a few of their customers need it. Actually, quite the converse. The sweet spot is virtualization. IBM can't compete on computational power, but they can compete on manageability. There's a lot more to be done to deal with the rafts of pizza boxes than the big 106-ways. And there are a lot more opportunities to do it. A television commercial here a few minutes ago crowed about Nissan (I think) managing 56,500 servers using Microsoft System Center. THEY GOT THEMSELVES INTO THAT MESS, AND THEY'RE _PROUD_ OF IT ?!?

Re: CA-1 TMC Reblock - recommended size?
interesting this topic should come up - i just did an exercise to reblock the TMC, and to add about 400,000 volume records + 150,000 DSNB records on Sunday (in Production). with BLKSIZE=340, the old copy was 9600 trks with 93% used. with BLKSIZE=8840, i allocated 9000 trks -- used 61% amazing! only hiccup was, the Common Tape Subsystem address space choked (80A-10) when started at REGION=3M. when asked, the regional CA support simply stated to bump it up to 4M, but no calculations offered. - ravi. On Mon, 20 Aug 2007 18:41:40 -0500, Russell Witt [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Tim, The main reason to block the TMC is space utilization. If you are currently allocated as 340 X 340 and you change to the recommended 340 X 8840 you will end up using only about 1/3 the amount of dasd. The reason that 8840 was chosen was that it gives well over 90% utilization on the DASD track; yet doesn't require a huge amount of ECSA to be reserved. Also, for direct I/O (read a single record, write a single record) we have to read and write a block at each time. So, to read a 340-byte record requires a read of either 8840 bytes of 27880 bytes. Granted, the majority of I/O time is spent on connecting to the device versus actually transferring the data; but still do you really want to xfer 27880 bytes every time you want to read or write a single record. We do have some clients runing with 27880 and they report no problems. So, the choice is yours. But for space utilization, 8840 is close to optimum but only requires a total of 26,520 bytes of ECSA versus 83,640 bytes. Strictly your choice, but the only reason for blocking the TMC is improved space utilization and 8840 will give you a three-fold improvement.

Re: Ways to update PS files?
I suspect that UPDAT is a special case and that, for PUTX, it may not matter whether you specify MACRF=(GL,PL) or MACRF=(GL,PM). In DFSMS Using Data Sets, p. 353, it refers to: GET-locate, PUTX-update. Processed in an input buffer and returned to the same data set. And, on p.355: UPDAT mode. When a data set is opened with UPDAT specified (Figure 63), only GET-locate and PUTX-update are supported. It seems to avoid using locate and move in the UPDAT context.

Re: Ways to update PS files?
Ah! You see: you said you were going to use Put Move (MACRF=(GL,PM)), but you actually used Put Locate (or, more precisely, PUTX Locate) because your PUTX only has one operand. To use PUTX Move mode you need to specify two operands: the DCB and location where the record should be put from; so you used PUTX locate mode even though you promised to use PUTX move mode; so you got away with a little lie. The proper way is to code MACRF=(GL,PL). Try it that way. It will work and will be correct. Sorry to contradict to some extent. While the outcome is as you describe, there is no PUTX-move-mode (according to the manual). The second, optional operand is the *input DCB address* to be used in the output mode. If it is omitted, PUTX assumes update mode. I consider this a special case of locate mode processing if you want to call it so, at all. The sequence of locate mode PUT is a) set DCBLRECL b) call PUT and c) finally move the record to the address returned in b). With PUTX, nothing is moved. PUTX continues with the control blocks as left by the last GET. So conceptually, it is more like a GL,PM processing than it is a GL,PL processing, since no step c) has to be done after the call to PUTX. The manual is a bit fuzzy about PUTX, so I may have misinterpreted the tex myself ;-) -- Peter Hunkeler Credit Suisse -- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
Re: Ways to update PS files?
I was amazed to see how many posters effectively said don't use this technique! QSAM update-in-place is a very simple, easy-to-use and effective update technique that has been used in countless applications for goodness knows how many years. Only the application programer will be aware when the technique has been used, there's nothing to tell sysprogs or operators that it's in use and absolutely no need for them to know. One of it's strengths is the ability to have concurrent batch updating of a file that is also being used read-only by other programs, perhaps for online customer queries, the sort of thing that today you'd be using a fully-blown database for. But my real point is that we need to get a grip on the primitive impulse to discard, deride and detour 'round the unfamiliar; that's the path back to anarchy and the dark ages.

Re: XMIT QUESTION
Willie,
Where the user on the receiving system ultimately places the dataset, is up
to the user. OK, what that means is, it's a function of the RECEIVE command
to determine placement of the transmitted dataset (or member). There's
nothing you can do on the TRANSMIT command to influence that.
Usually, when you execute the TSO RECEIVE command, you get prompted for
dataset options.
If you just simply hit Enter, the default dataset name is generated from the
sending dataset and prefixed with your TSO-prefix (userID).
But if you want to redirect the dataset (or member) to a different dataset,
new or existing, you do so at the prompt, e.g. DA('SYS9.CNTL.JCL'). This
will put the member into the specified dataset instead of the default /
generated datasetname.
Please do a TSO HELP RECEIVE or crack open the TSO commands manual (or
whichever manual contains the TRANSMIT and RECEIVE commands). There's a
whole bunch of parameters you can specify to help direct the received data
to the desired location.

Subject: XMIT QUESTION
Hallo To All,
I am trying to perform an XMIT (pds member) from one partition to another
and I am partially successful. Below is my command:
XMIT NYZ380.ZAWTPWG DA('CNTL.JCL(SMSJOB1'))
What the command does it creates the member SMSJOB1 in a pds
ZAWTPWG.CNTL.JCL
Does XMIT allow to create the member in a given PDS .e.g TEST.CNTL.JCL?
If so could anyone please provide me the correct syntax. I tried various
commands but I kept getting the ISPD204 Invalid parameter - '
CMD(ZPTCPRM' contains unrecognized
parameter.

IBM Level 1 - gotta love it.
None of us are perfect, but we got a good chuckle when we asked a couple questions in an ETR. This is a service we pay for, right? LOL. The questions make no difference - just read the responses: A1. In SDSNMACS(DSNDQW00), QW0021K2 is defined as XL1 (i.e. hex with a length of 1 byte). Later on in the same member it's defined as FIXED(8) (i.e. 8 bits). The value for the partition number will be stored as a hex value so 1 byte or 8 bits will have a maximum hex value of x'' (4,294,967,295 decimal). . A2. Those fields in your list defined as XL2 or CL2 ar 2 bytes or 16 bits in length. QW0199DN is defined as QW0199DN H and later on defined as PTR(16). That's a halfword or 16 bits, the same as XL2 and CL2. The maximum hex value in 16 bits then is x'' or 18,446,744,073,709,551,615. Todd No virus found in this outgoing message.

Re: LPServe dynamic allocation
OK, Gerard, help me out here ... I'm not into LPSERVE myself. These dynamically allocated datasets are going to be of what type: - true temporary datasets (similar to DSN=TEMP1) or - short-time permanent, cataloged datasets (DSN=LPSERVE.X.Y.Z)? If they're true temp. datasets, then they should go to your disks mounted with the PUBLIC attribute. If they're permanent datasets, then they'll go to disks mounted with the STORAGE attribute. And if your shop doesn't use SMS or any other disk allocation manager (like PROSMS, used be known as STOP/X37) then there's no easy way that I know of to segregate LPSERVE datasets from the rest of the storage-mounted disks. Of course, you could I/O configure a group of disks with a different UNIT name ... but how do you tell LPSERVE to allocate to UNIT=MYDISK? Are you sure, there's no LPSERVE configuration parameter?

Well, yes I know of some ways. But they are, in my opinion, more difficult to write and maintain than implementing SMS for this. The methods are to use exits. The first exit that comes to mind is the IGGPRE00 exit. This is DADSM allocation preselection. The exit would examine the jobname (LPSERVE). If not LPSERVE, then rc=0. Otherwise, look at the selected DASD volser. If you don't like it, then return RC=8 with with a reason code of X'47B0'. How to determine is up to you. We had this many years ago and it did a RACROUTE to see if the user had READ access to a RACF profile protecting the volume. If it did, then the volume was acceptable. If not, then try again. If the exit denies every volume passed to it, then allocation fails. The second exit which comes to mind is IEFDB401. This is the dynamic allocation validation exit. This exit could be used to modify the SVC 99 parameter list. What would be possible would be to create a special ESOTERIC unitname for LPSERVE to use. Look at the SVC 99 parm list and if the UNIT= parameter is specified, change it to your ESOTERIC. If you don't find a text unit for the UNIT= parameter, add one using your ESOTERIC. This does require a ESOTERIC just for this function and that the appropriate DASD volumes be on the addresses assigned to this ESOTERIC. Another possibility would be to add a text unit specifying the VOL=SER parameter, forcing all allocations to a single volume, hard coded. Off hand, that's all that I can think of.

To your second question - XMIT will not allow you to specify a PDS(E) member

the DDNAME in the OUTDD parameter.
ALLOC DD(XMITOUT) DA(XMIT(TEST)) SHR
XMIT ABC.DEFG DA(CNTL(JOBCARD)) OUTDD(XMITOUT)
FREE DD(XMITOUT)
RECEIVE will support a PDS(E) member for INDS, or you can do the same
