Re: BLDL User Data
On a PDSE a binder of IEFBR14 with alias BR14 then bind of IEFBR14 no alias and BR14 alias was gone. Use 3.1 on the real member of first bind of IEFBR14 removed alias. Didn’t try to see what happens with 3.1 delete of alias. PDSE orphaning of alias appears to be addressed at least in ISPF and binder. 3.1 on PDS to delete real member leaves alias of BR14 as does above binder test on PDS. Alias points at previous IEFBR14 TTR such that TTR of new IEFBR14 is different than orphaned BR14.

Re: [EXT] Re: Cloud may be overpriced compared to on-premises systems
I worked for an health insurance company. As another poster said, “that's how all insurance companies function. there's a reason why they're often compared to a legalized mafia.” I’m curious as to why you guys can’t seem to ignore the troll? Or create some filter that you guys mentioned was easy. Or even listen to Darren? And why do the same guys complain about the troll? The ones who seem to think their constant reminiscing about the good old mainframe days is relevant? Like I said previously, there are thousands of mainframe people who don’t post, probably aren’t even registered, likely not even aware of the list. It has degenerated into 20-30 guys (and it’s mostly guys) who need to show how much they think they know. Posting the same drivel over and over. Of all the shops I’ve worked and all the people I worked with over 40+ years, there aren’t 5 people who even care to subscribe. It’s more like a frat club. And I’m unwilling to perform the hazing. And if the troll was banned, who is to say he/she doesn’t have 4 other accounts? Is the list that technically robust a user can actually be stopped from posting? Is there a TOS? Some of us joined when Marist College (I think) hosted it. It’s a slippery slope when freedom of speech is squelched. Especially when the entity is a government run, taxpayer funded institution.

Re: BLDL User Data
Alias entry points have separate directory entries. The alias directory entries have a flag bit on (I remember there is a DSECT IHAPDS or similar name) which indicate that this directory entry is an alias and also may have a different entry point address than the real or other alias members You need to match the TTR of alias to members the real member by running through all directory entries. If the real member is deleted but not all alias(s), those alias(s) are orphaned member(s) but the tensing member(s) data (load module) still exist. In this case knowing the real member name is not possible except if you know history of load module or maybe have backup or some other history like binder output or maybe job JCL.

I'm setting up some sysplex and found some healthcheck is not OK, the reason was XCFAS was not TRUSTED. Questions: 1. Is the requirement of the TRUSTED status documented anywhere?
