Binder SYSPRINT FILEDATA

[Paul Gilmartin]

In:
z/OS 2.2.0
z/OS MVS
z/OS MVS Program Management: User's Guide and Reference
Starting the binder
Invoking the binder with JCL
DD statements
Binder DD statements
SYSPRINT and SYSLOUT DD statements

I read:
SYSPRINT or SYSLOUT can also be assigned to a z/OS UNIX file. In this case,
FILEDATA=TEXT must also be specified.

(Similar statement about SYSTERM in a different section.)  Some readers
will not be surprised that when I read such a rule, I put on my Black Team
cape and investigate what happens when I break it.  So:

If SYSPRINT FILEDATA is BINARY or RECORD, Binder writes the file content
as if TEXT had been specified, then leaves the file tagged as the value
specified in the JCL, pretty unusable, and exits with RC=0.

What should I say in my SR?  I'm disinclined to accept "You broke the rules;
RTFM; WAD," as an answer.  How would Pubs feel about documenting the
behavior, including the RC=0?

Re: MQSeries for z/OS V7.0.1 Docs

[Lizette Koehler]

There is a list, if you were not aware, for MQ

MQ  https://listserv.meduniwien.ac.at/archives/mqser-l.html
   https://listserv.meduniwien.ac.at/archives/mqser-l.html



However, I went to www.ibm.com and put in the search box 
MQ MESSAGES AND CODES

And it took me to this link
http://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSFKSJ_7.0.1/com.ibm.mq.csqsao.doc/zm
10120_.htm

Is this what you are looking for?

MQSeries for z/OS V7.0.1 Docs

[Carlos Cordero]

Hi everybody,


On a long search on IBM sites, I didn´t find a PDF documentation about 
Websphere MQSeries for z/OS Messages and Codes.


Somebody has/know where to find it?



Thanks.

Re: TV news just now

I am reminded of an occasion when trying to find some information about a 
certain well-known product, and I turned up a page that I needed to ask Uncle G 
to translate for me. 

The result was full of references to "Evening Aid / MVS".

Goodnight, Herr Abend.

I see in the curl docs for z/OS (and others):

.IP "-O, --remote-name"
Write output to a local file named like the remote file we get. (Only the 
file
part of the remote file is used, the path is cut off.)

... no mention of binary.

More detail, with a specific path, not an unreleased APAR.  On Solaris:
