Re: fork on MVS and MVS-Datasets

I will create a new process and I will use MVS-Datasets, which I have allocated in the parent process. It seems, this is a problem under MVS. Datasets doesn't inherited from the child. I have used fork() to create the child. I have tried to use named pipes to process the information from the child to the parent. It doesn't work. How can I handle this problem? I believe you will get better answers to such questions on the MVS-OE mailing list, rather than the IBM-MAIN mailing list, as MVS-OE is more focused on z/OS UNIX topics.

I don't use the UNIX SYSTEM SERVICE. Yes, you do. You're using fork(), and pipe(), and those are UNIX functions. It does not matter if you are running in a traditional batch job, or TSO, or whatever. Those environments have access to UNIX functionality, and you're taking advantage of that in your program. And the best discussion location for that is MVS-OE. Using UNIX does not mean running in a UNIX shell, nor running a program that resides in the UNIX file system.
