To provide more input for your estimates, I have personally submitted one
PMR in the last 10 years that resulted in a "hidden" APAR.

Re: BR problem with OBTAIN in z/OS R10

2009-02-19 Thread Klaus Stanislawiak
Hi Gilbert,
the latest documentation should explain what you have observed
(from "z/OS V1R10.0 DFSMSdfp Advanced Services"):

| On return from SEARCH requests, the first 103 bytes of the first 140 byte
| return area will contain:

* | The 96 byte data portion of the format-1, format-4, or format-8 DSCB

* | Followed by 5 bytes that contain the absolute track address (CCHHR) of
  | this DSCB. For VSAM object names that appear in the catalog, but not
  | in the VTOC or VIO data sets, these 5 bytes contain zeros.

* | Followed by a 2 byte count of the total number of DSCBs associated
  | with the data set DSCB, even if there are insufficient return areas
  | into which to read them all. This count includes all DSCB types that
  | could describe a data set. Set to zero for DSCBs constructed from
  | catalog when DSCBs are not present in the VTOC.

Regards, Klaus.

Re: original JCL via SAPI

2007-04-11 Thread Klaus Stanislawiak
Hi again,

not quite so, SAPI is not involved in this process at all. Please see
Appendix B of the "JES2 Initialization and Tuning Guide" for a description
of the SDSB Interface:

http://publibz.boulder.ibm.com/cgi-bin/bookmgr_OS390/BOOKS/HAS2A350/APPENDIX1.2.4?SHELF=HAS2BK61&DT=20060630010801

Regards and good luck,
Klaus Stanislawiak.

Re: original JCL via SAPI

2007-04-11 Thread Klaus Stanislawiak
Hi Miklos,

the SAPI (SYSOUT Application Interface) only provides support to read SYSOUT
data sets. What you are looking for (DDNAME JESJCLIN) is not a SYSOUT data
set, so you won't be able to read it through SAPI. If you are on a JES2
system, try the Spool Data Set Browse (SDSB) Interface, that will allow you
to read also JESJCLIN.

Regards, 
Klaus Stanislawiak.
