Re: TRSMAIN RC=8
If the problem is that the data on the PC has both RDW and SDW then I have a problem that can untangle it. You'll just need to FTP it to the host in VB or FB format and the program will do the rest. After that you'll still need to run IEBCOPY to re-create the PDS. Contact me if you want to give it a shot and I'll send you the code. Tony.

For example, the 3rd byte in the earlier attachment, hex 6d, ASCII m, is translated to hex 94, EBCDIC m in your new attachment. The earlier attachment is not a hex dump of ASCII text to start with, it is binary data, so using ASCII translation in the IND$FILE transfer is not the right thing to do. The hex 6d is not supposed to be an ASCII m, it's just binary data. The use of ASCII translation is making things worse, making it harder for you to solve your problem. As I said earlier, the file appears to have been created by IEBCOPY. not TRSMAIN. The errors you are getting from TRSMAIN are a result of using a file that was not created by TRSMAIN.

CPPUPDTE for LRECL 80
Hi to all IBMers and IBM-MAINers , Before I re-invent the ( should be round? ;-D ) wheel, I want to know if there is an upgrade or alternative for CPPUDTE where any record length can be handled. I wish to continue use CPPUPDTE as usual, but want to use LRECL=1 ... 32760 (With additional bonus, if possible - RECFM=anything and DSORG=nonvsam only ) Anyone, please? Links, books, JCL/parameter changes for CPPUDTE or something else? For now I'm contemplating using of batch version of EDIT macro with C ALL command... (I'm now RTFM of course...) I can conjure up a program in REXX, COBOL or Assembler, but for now I'm a little time constrained... Kudos to IBM for this handy nice life-saving utility, pity it is only for PDS/PDSE with LRECL=80 only resulting in this lame message: CPP006 FILE @MYLIB INVALID FOR CPPUPDTE Thanks very much in advance! ;-) Groete / Greetings Elardus Engelbrecht -- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@bama.ua.edu with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
Re: Difference between DISP=NEW and MOD for a PDS member?
Linda, thanks, yes, that is more or less what I do for the can't pre-create cases. I use an internal copy function. (My bug was in not recognizing certain can't pre-create cases.) I'm curious too. The only answer I could get was that IBM supported this and that's what they wanted to do. They are creating a temporary PDS and member and passing it to a subsequent step. I don't see any reason not to pass a sequential file, but I have not seen all of the job, just failing fragments. Whatever. I had the logic to test for the can't pre-create cases. I had the copy function. I fixed the bug. They can do all the FOO(BAR),DISP=NEW/MOD they want now.

Yes, that would be the same. So, how about if you preallocated a sequential file, then used IEBCOPY (with or without replace - as might be appropriate for your product) to copy the new file into the pds or pdse member? I am curious as to why a pds or pds/e is needed .

Re: How to find problems on code like S0C4 on programs that were made by others
The first step of debugging just about any program check is determining architecturally why. Even the symptom dump (message IEA995I) will fairly often provide enough information. The abend code and abend reason code, PSW at time of error, the instruction text, and the GRs/ARs could let you identify such as The abend was 0C4-4 so resulted from a program interrupt 4 which according to the instruction text came about from a store instruction using register 2 as the operand, so either the target address is store-protected (such as an address of 0) or is not valid in the PSW key at time of error. Finding out how the program managed to get that operand value into register 2 is where the real debugging typically starts which often requires access to program listings, as well as a dump. Aside from the presence of a symptom dump in z/OS, the platform doesn't affect the process too much -- you need information about the program and about the time of error.

QSAM concatenation where the first DD is DUMMY?
What happens when you have a QSAM concatenation where the first DD is overridden to DUMMY? I have a production PROC with a QSAM input DD that concatenates four datasets. In one job the initial DD is overridden to DUMMY but the others are not overridden at all. The second DD in the concatenation is a valid file, but it was not read at all. It seems like overriding the first DD to DUMMY made the entire concatenation DUMMY. Is that how it works? Example: In MYPROC: //PSTEP1 EXEC PGM=MYPGM //INPUT DD DISP=SHR,DSN=FILE1 // DD DISP=SHR,DSN=FILE2 // DD DISP=SHR,DSN=FILE3 // DD DISP=SHR,DSN=FILE4 Job: //STEP1 EXEC MYPROC //PSTEP1.INPUT DD DUMMY Do I need to change the job override to something like this: //PSTEP1.INPUT DD DUMMY // DD // DD // DD Or do I have to do it like this: //PSTEP1.INPUT DD DSN=FILE2 // DD DUMMY // DD // DD TIA for curing my ignorance. I thought I knew this stuff but I guess that I don't know it as well as I thought I did.

DFSORT: DYNAUTO=NO?
Hello, DFSORT Team (in particular), We're on z/OS 1.11, and one of our programmers was cleaning up some JCL by removing explicit SORTWKnn DD statements, among other things. In all job streams he's tested so far, all the sorts were accomplished in core; yet the JES message log shows allocation and deletion of SORTWK01 thru SORTWK06 in every SORT step. What I think the relevant DFSORT installation options we have in place are these: DYNALOC=(WORKDA,6) DYNAUTO=YES DYNSPC=256 There is also this note in the text for DYNAUTO: Even if you specify DYNAUTO=NO, DFSORT can enable automatic dynamic allocation in some cases. Therefore, you should always use DYNALOC to specify the defaults for the device and number of work data sets for use with dynamic allocation. What are (some of) the cases when DFSORT can enable dynamic allocation when DYNAUTO=NO?

Re: DFSORT: DYNAUTO=NO?
I can't get into specifics of our internal algorithms but I can give you some explanations. As for why you are still seeing 6 work data sets allocated for sorts completed in core. You are probably seeing message ICE080I IN MAIN STORAGE SORT. DFSORT tends to be a bit cautious about bypassing allocation of work data sets. We look at the main storage allocated as compared to the file size along with other factors like whether an E15 is present and then only bypass dynamic allocation if we are extremely confident the sort can complete entirely in main storage. Otherwise, we allocate the default number of work data sets which in your case is 6 due to your DYNALOC default of (WOKDA,6). As for those cases where DFSORT will force dynamic allocation even if you have DYNAUTO=OFF. Those cases involve DFSORT's use of data space, Hiperspace or memory object where we believe there may be enough storage to complete the sort without work data sets but we're not overly confident.

Geez.. why bother having security at all.. just put yourself in MODE(WARN) ... you are almost there anyway. But.. I will say that when it comes to the IBM products, if you don't have a resource defined the resource check is returned with a RC(4) aka No Decision ... it is up to the individual product to decide what to do ... sometimes it lets you do whatever you are trying to do.. other times it will fail the request and not give you a lot of help as to the missing resource name.
