If you're trying to see the difference between IKJEFT01 and IKJEFT1A, then try both in background or both in foreground. Changing two variable at once won't give you a clear picture.

Re: New CSS in HCD

Yes, my channels weren't SPANned and couldn't be SPANned, because HCD convert channel definition to SHR everytime you try to use SPAN with no LPARs from other CSS.

The interpretation of whether a non-zero return code is or is not a fatal error is solely at the discretion of the calling program, and IKJEFT1A/IKJEFT1B appear to be designed to regard any non-zero return code they see as fatal. I consider it a design shortcoming that an EXEC can't set the return code for the IKJEFT01 step. If it were supported, this could be as simple as: address TSO 'LOGOFF' code ... causing the job step to complete with code in R15. -- gil -- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN

In 3270 TSO OMVS, I can use the escape character (default is ¢) to enter control codes. So, with set -o vi, I can do ¢[kENTER to execute the fifth previous command. Unfortunately, it executes the command immediately, rather than just fetching it to the input area for modification before execution. I'm calling this a bug; IBM probably thinks it's WAD.

Re: AW: Re: JES2 Exit 23
John, Thanks, I am surprised. Going back to conversations I had with PSF level 2, 1. They were surprised at my calling back almost daily on bugs. 2. They seem to indicate this was all new code. They were fairly good at finding the bugs (thank goodness).

As I installed PSF in the 1980's, when APA print was fairly new, I was surprised enough by this statement to look it up. PSF V1 (5665-275) was made available just in time for Christmas in 1984 (21 December). 1.1 came out in 1985, 1.2 in 1988, and 1.3 in 1989. PSF V1 was withdrawn from service in 1992, having been supplanted by PSF V2. PSF V1 ran on MVS on 168s and 158s, and later processors (43xx) when originally announced. The current release, available since about this time last year, is PSF V4.5 (5655-M32). Incidentally, PSF's SMF6 records have more content these days, some of which was added to make SMF-based accounting easier. Also, PSF 4.5 can be installed separately in its own SMP/E zones (it used to be necessary to install it in the z/OS zones) and it supports enable/disable via IFAPRDxx. -- John Eells z/OS Technical Marketing IBM Poughkeepsie ee...@us.ibm.com -- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN -- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
