Re: FINDING CLUSTER NAME
Looking back at the OP, it seems that a) someone has issued a DEL NSCR on the
cluster, or b) someone wiped out a volume without properly deleting the data.
I would try DEF CL(HESP.BALFWD.DEFINE) VOL(XX) RECATALOG). There are a
number of caveats here. There are a fair number of attributes that must be
present on the DEF RECAT request and these must match the attributes of the
original cluster. E.g. If the original cluster was a KSDS, the INDEXED keyword
must be added to the DEF RECAT request.
If something is missing or incorrectly specified, the IDC3009I message will
indicate the possibilities. There are too many to cover in a brief email.
Try to find a recent catalog listing if possible. Otherwise guess, correct,
retry. Repeat until successful.
Is a backup/dump available? If so, delete the cluster components and recover
from backup/dump (see below).
Is it possible the cluster has been redefined somewhere else? (after the DEL
NSCR)
If all else fails, there is no risk in deleting the component(s), since no one
can access the data.
To delete the component, use IDCAMS in batch:
DEL HESP.BALFWD.DEFINE.DATA VVR FILE(DD1)
Where DD1 points to the volume in question.

Of course, the catalog entry may not exist, hence the problem.
Also check for non-VSAM entries of the same name pointing to DFHSM
migrated data sets (if you run DFHSM, of course).
If you would like proof of the cluster name without relying on the
odds-on likelihood that the cluster name is the data component name with
the trailing .DATA chopped off, then you could browse the contents of
the VVDS where the names should appear in plain text.
I have not done so for years, but to browse VVDS - and BCS for that
matter - files I used to use an APF authorized alias of the public
domain REVIEW command. REVIEW contains no MODESET macros - the system
lets normal VSAM OPEN process BCS and VVDS files (for INPUT, anyway) if
the environment is APF authorized. At least, it did a few years back,
and I have not heard of any changes in this area.
And I should also say that for every other use of REVIEW (available from
the CBT tape) it is best to not run it APF authorized. For one thing,
as a rule ISPF does not like its services being invoked in an APF
authorized environment.
Topic drifting ever so slightly, time was when BSAM could read VSAM
components. Around 1986 it even seemed to bypass RACF, but the RACF hole
was soon plugged. DFP V2R4 introduced the requirement that DCB (input
only) access to VSAM required APF authorization, but that only worked
when the VSAM component being opened did not have more than 16 extents.
Ah, good times...

What Allan and Greg said
Of course, if you want the proof of the cluster name and you don't have REVIEW
installed, you can simply do an IDCAMS PRINT against the VVDS dataset on the
volume where the .DATA resides to find the associated cluster name. I did
this last week. :-)

John, If you issue a listcat on the DATA or INDEX it should show the CLUSTER---x name unless the cluster was 'deleted noscratch' which removes the name from the catalog and leaves the data/index files on dasd.

Re: FINDING CLUSTER NAME
Listcat for the data / index will not always work. The HLQ of the data / index
is not necessarily pointing to the correct catalog. E.g. ALTER 'AAA.BBB.DATA')
NEWNAME('DDD.EEE.DATA').

Just to confirm that I am looking in the right place for the CLUSTER is it
found after the SYS1.ICFCAT.APPLI or is listed after the .DATA..?

SMP/E Question regarding automatically relinking a load module with maintenance
I have a vendor product that provides for a customization of the product via a load module. The load module is a table of exits that are called at certain points in the product to allow the user to make decision, perform additional functions, etc. At our site, this module had been set up to take advantage of 5 different exit points. I have created the 5 different exit modules and successfully set them up in SMP/E as usermods. I have also created the vendor's required table module defining the 5 different modules as a usermod and have successfully created the final load module. All looks as it should, however, if I change the source of one of the exit modules and perform an APPLY REDO, the exit is assembled and saved, but the table module is not linked. The table module's linked command includes an INCLUDE for each of the required exit modules, which I thought was how SMP/E knew to monitor those modules for change and perform the relink should any one of them change. I am a bit rusty on creating SMP/E from scratch so I believe I am missing something. Any ideas of what I may have missed in the usermod(s)?

Re: FINDING CLUSTER NAME
Since the VVR layout is OCO, you will have to make a best guess. I personally would have thought it followed the data. Since it matches the value after the catalog, then it's a safe bet that is the cluster name. The INDEX looks suspicious because it has Z8002D.TEST.DEFINE after the catalog name. You could run DIAGNOSE VVDS to see what it says . I've never run into the situation where they don't match. If diagnose doesn't report a problem, then you should try listcat on this cluster name.

Re: SMP/E Question regarding automatically relinking a load module with maintenance
Clarification on REWORK. Besides documenting the APPLY date (which SMPE shows anyway), it obviates the need to first RESTORE/REJECT the usermod before re-RECEIVE/APPLY, a hassle I don't see the point of for a usermod whose sysmod structure never changes. For re-RECEIVE to work, REWORK must be 'higher' than the previous value. Current date in DDD format is obviously higher each day. The final digit is for multiple retries in a single day. ROT: if you've tried 10 times and still haven't got it right, it's time to knock off for the day and try again tomorrow. ;-) . .

Re: SMP/E Question regarding automatically relinking a load module with maintenance
There is an error in your usermod. Using group temporarily corrected your problem but you still have a problem. If you change this exit again, you may not get the expected results from APPLY GROUP REDO. Without specifics, we can only guess at the error. For example, if this module was auto linked with the load module instead of SMP/E replacing the module within the load module.In this case, the first APPLY would have assembled the module. The second apply with GROUP would have linked it. If this is the problem, then SMP/e won't specify REPLACE for the binder. Skip's recommendation is good example. Just be aware that you need to ensure the JCLIN matches existing definitions. Your description of the modules and load module structure is not clear so you may have additional modules that are affected. Check with the vendor for a sample on how they recommend installing this as a usermod.

Re: SMP/E Question regarding automatically relinking a load module with maintenance
REWORK has no effect on APPLY, only on RECEIVE. Absent a higher REWORK value, re-RECEIVE will fail with a very descriptive message to the effect that the REWORK value is not higher than the old one. Re-APPLY will fail without REDO if the sysmod already exists in the target zone regardless of whether the latest version of the sysmod differs from one previously RECEIVEd. No comparison is done. You have to be careful that the new sysmod has the same structure (same combination of elements in the same relationship) in order to do what we do. It's our usermod; we haven't changed it for years.

As you should see from your code, the binary address (up to twelve bits) is split into two six bit values, and each of those is translated by the table into printable EBCDIC characters.

Re: z10 IPL from Utility Tape - FIXED
The system is finally up and running. The customer opened a ticket with IBM after getting one of those ACTZ messages and I guess it really just comes down to who happens to be available on any particular day because the customer was instructed to log into the DS6800 system with a special CE code and after some commands were entered the system was able to IPL from the OS volume. I don't have the exact keystrokes used but I will make sure that we have a copy saved somewhere for future use if necessary. It's quite likely that this may have been the problem that plagued us back in 2012. I do not know if this was an oversite during the initial configuration process or not but given the problems we've had - they seem so un IBM like - I wouldn't be surprised if it was.

Well, you're welcome for the SWAGs, but I don't think anyone here came close. Except maybe Bob Shannon, who suggested that your DASD subsystem was broken. Easy fix, at least. . .

Re: TSO 3270 Data Stream question
On 5/15/2014 5:52 PM, Micheal Butz wrote: Yes but why these printable ebcdic codes Six bits for a portion of the address leave two bits available. When the 3270 family was introduced, all printable characters had the x'40' bit on. The x'80' bit is set on or off to produce a printable character (see the 360 or 370 reference card for the then extant characters). Modern, extended data stream devices assign special meaning to the x'40' bit, but they also don't support ASCII any more. For example, a bit value of 0A would first get x'40' ORed in, producing x'4A', which is printable. But a value of 16, turned into 56 is not, so x'80' is ORed to produce D6. If your question is why use EBCDIC code, that may be due to early modems, that recognized a few line control characters, and expected printable characters for the data. Also the remote 3270 came in both an EBCDIC and ASCII variety, and ASCII support required printable characters for conversion (IBM 3272/3277 shows remote controls; even those were translated to ASCII printables).

Karl: From what little I have been following this discussion. I think you should get a better handle on what is you *VALID* IOCP (put it on a tape or other media that can always be reachable).
