Re: Mainframe shops held hostage, Itanium alliance says

[James Vincent]

What a total load of BS!  Not the drawing and quartering part, the so-called
article content.  Ignorance is bliss they say!  Didn't they try this "get
off the mainframe" thing about 20 years ago and failed at it?

"Shiveley: The mainframe is a legacy architecture. It's been around a long
time, and it does some things well. But it has been held hostage by the
limited support and limited innovation that takes place in the mainframe
environment."

BWAH HA HAW!!  Did this guy just wake up or what? Even with the Internet he
could have done better research to get his "facts" straight!  If we have
"limited support and limited innovation" I sure would like to see how it
could be better!  Maybe if IBM brought me my coffee... yeah, that would do
it.

So the z9 and the next generation are "limited innovation" huh?  So saving
literally a boat (a very large, plush, ocean type boat) load of money
because we are moving TO the mainframe with Linux on VM, we are so "legacy",
yes?  Kewl!  Call me Mr Legacy then.  And make sure you use the Mister part
because you know how us old legacy SysProgs are!

Sheez!  Not that the article got me P.O.'d or anything...

Fw: Job name in JES3 from RSCS Store-and-Forward

[Rick Barlow]

I found my own answer.  Marcy was on the right track.  It could be done on
each individual file as she suggested.
It can also be done by specifying the JOBNAME=USERID parm on the LINKDEFINE
statement or RSCS-wide by adding JOBNAME=USERID to the OPTION statement.

Re: Job name in JES3 from RSCS Store-and-Forward

[Jim Bohnsack]

Rick--In a previous life in a galaxy far, far away... we used an RSCS 
exit to change the cover sheet for printed output going from VM via 
SNANJE to a JES 2 system.  I don't remember the details, but I think 
that we wanted to get rid of the RSCS as the job name.  We may have 
had to put some exit specific tag information with the file.  If someone 
doesn't have a better, more immediate solution, I'll see if I can find 
someone who still knows about the exit.

I think you were right to suggest something is wrong.  No way it should 
take that long.  Oversimplifying, at 10 disks every 3 hours it would
take 
84 hours to download 280 disks.
