33 years ago, I was a student at Algonquin College. When I had spare time in my schedule, to help in obtaining beer, I worked in the RJE room. If my shift was the first one in the morning, I had to do the old bootstrap routine. The mainframe at the time was a Digital DEC-10. The RJE room processsed good old punch cards. I still have some gently used ones. Once I saw a core dump of the DEC-10. Worked on a IBM-360 loading paper and tape drives. "Take my advice.

The VOL statement allows me to grab 15 more extents of 15 cylinders to over 3 disks, for a total of 45 extents. The 3 can be up to 15, giving 15 * 15 = 225 extents.

Re: GDG QUESTION
G'day. If you are acessing the new file in the same JCL, the DD statement should look like: DUMPIN DD DISP=SHR,DSN=PCYC.TMVHSTM.TMVS04.IRR(+1). If it's in another jcl then: DUMPIN DD DISP=SHR,DSN=PCYC.TMVHSTM.TMVS04.IRR(+0). To access a one the previous generations then use (-1) or (-2) or (-3) or (-4).

Good catch. The IBM support person also missed it. But no
matter; even absent the typo, JCL fails to perform the substitution.
However, this provides elegant accidental support for my assertion
that use of an undefined symbol should be reported as a JCL error.

I had not used more than 71 characters (plus a continuation mark) in
any line in my example. You may have been misled by embellishments

Re: CA-Endevor question.
This may help. Use Endevor to create the SCL statements to retreive the select programs that you want. It can load them into any pds file that fits your need. Select 3 for batch. Select Retrieve. Fill out the information you need to retrieve the programs and select them. It should produce the scl statements similar to these examples: RETRIEVE ELEMENT 'program1' VERSION 01 LEVEL 01 FROM ENVIRONMENT '' SYSTEM 'xx' SUBSYSTEM 'xx' TYPE '' STAGE 2 TO DSNAME 'pds.output' OPTIONS NOSEARCH . RETRIEVE ELEMENT 'program2' VERSION 01 LEVEL 01 FROM ENVIRONMENT '' SYSTEM 'xx' SUBSYSTEM 'xx' TYPE '' STAGE 2 TO DSNAME 'pds.output' OPTIONS NOSEARCH . RETRIEVE ELEMENT 'program3' VERSION 01 LEVEL 04 FROM ENVIRONMENT '' SYSTEM 'xx' SUBSYSTEM 'xx' TYPE '' STAGE 2 TO DSNAME 'pds.output' OPTIONS NOSEARCH "Duct tape is like the Force.

TImOTHY Hillock -Original Message- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of McKown, John Sent: Thursday, January 10, 2008 2:00 PM To: IBM-MAIN@BAMA.UA.EDU Subject: CA-Endevor question. Does anybody know of a program which I can point at a Endevor compressed listing PDS and have it uncompress the listing into a regular listing PDS? I am not very Endevor literate. I need to do this in order to run the listings through another program. I know how to do it on a one-by-one member, but I was hoping for a faster way to do it. -- John McKown Senior Systems Programmer HealthMarkets Keeping the Promise of Affordable Coverage Administrative Services Group Information Technology The information contained in this e-mail message may be privileged and/or confidential.
