Re: z/OS 1.8 Features
There are several free PDF print drivers available for Windows that allow the creation of a basic PDF file from any application. I use one called Primo PDF - it was the first one I found several years ago. -Original Message- So, is Adobe charging several hundred dollars for something you can do otherwise for free?

Re: Moving LOADxx
I'm not sure what you mean by maintain production integrity, but if it is to totally separate datasets for your production and sandbox LPARs that sounds right. If that is what want to accomplish I would start by asking why do you need separate SYSx.IPLPARMs and IODFs? Is this a management mandate or an audit requirement or just the way it has always been done? I have a mirrored volume that has my SYS0.IPLPARM and my production IODFs. I rely on the mirroring to provide the hardware integrity and so far have not had any problems. I have multiple LOADxx members for my two systems (prod and system programmer sandbox) in SYS0.IPLPARM. The IODFs are cataloged in shared user catalog which facilitates access on both systems. This setup has been working for me for about 10-12 years without any issues. I don't know if this accomplishes what you need or not or if it is an option for you, but it is fairly simple (you know the KISS theory) works for me.

So basically I'm not in a very good position, and back to square one. It seems to me that to accomplish what I want, and maintain Production integrity, I need to create an uncataloged copy of .IODFxx (which is found in HSA) on a new volume. I then create SYSx.IPLPARM on this new IODF volume, utilizing LPARNAME filtering, PARMLIB concatenation, all the 'new' bells and whistles, etc, in LOADxx (or more likely LOADxy). I change my LOAD parms to point to new IODF vol and LOAD member, IPL and off I go! Does this sound feasible?

Re: Moving LOADxx
The search stops when the first dataset is found (SYS0 - SYS9.IPLPARM, then SYS1.PARMLIB). So if you have a SYSx.IPLPARM and a SYS1.PARMLIB on the IODF volume, SYS1.PARMLIB is not searched. If your LOADxx member is in SYS1.PARMLIB and not in your SYSx.IPLPARM, your IPL will fail. I would remove the SYS1.PARMLIB from the IODF volume.

Re: S237-04 and tapes
Are you thinking of shared UCW instead of shared UCB? Bill Choate Emory University AAIT -Original Message- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Steve Arnett Sent: Wednesday, October 25, 2006 4:16 PM To: IBM-MAIN@BAMA.UA.EDU Subject: Re: S237-04 and tapes I ran into this several years back...Okay, 15 years...with IBM 3422 tapes. According to the IBM CE, the erase gaps were not being written properly to the tapes when a write error occured. It wasn't until I went to add a string of 3420 Mod 8s that I spotted an error made by my precessor in the definition of the 3422s. He had set them up without shared UCBs. As I understand error recovery on 3420s and 3422s, the errors on these devices are posted through the UCB of the controller(device 0). This is not a restriction with 3480/3490s, so not sure what drives still require shared UCBs, but it is something to verify.
