TPF and PAX numbers
A long, long time ago ( 20 years), someone told me that the six-character PAX number on an airline reservation was actually a TPF database record locator. Can anyone confirm or deny this? .phsiii
Re: TPF and PAX numbers
It definitely was at one point. That's why travel agents call it a record locator.

Re: TPF and PAX numbers
Phil, I'm not familiar with the term PAX number, but for at least 20 years, United Airlines has referred to its six character (alpha-numeric) reservation identifier interchangeably as a reservation number or a record locator. I don't know whether that's an actual TPF record or just a term of convenience. .Marty Sent from myTouch 4G - Reply message - From: Phil Smith III li...@akphs.com To: IBMVM@LISTSERV.UARK.EDU Subject: TPF and PAX numbers Date: Mon, Jul 11, 2011 12:46 pm A long, long time ago ( 20 years), someone told me that the six-character PAX number on an airline reservation was actually a TPF database record locator.

Re: TPF and PAX numbers
As far as I remember it's always been known as a 'record locator'. And as far as I remember on TPF it is the 'record locator'. But .. my memory maybe questionable!

Re: TPF and PAX numbers
Going back to my Republic Airlines days (30 years) the ACP/TPF system called these records PNR's for Passenger Name Records. When we deployed TPF at BofA to handle ATM transactions (mid 80s'), a more generic term, Record locator was eventually used. These records used to be written to tape once a flight had flown/transaction expired, then it would go into a batch (MVS/zOS) process to recoup these used records and make them available again.

Default PROFILE EXEC for DISKACNT?
Fat fingered a ERASE command and nuked the PROFILE EXEC on a brand new system (before I had VM:Backup configured). Anywhere I can get a copy of the file?

Re: CMSDDR failing
Sorry -I meant that 512*2097152 = 1073741824 .. which is the
real block count when starting at 0
Exactly 1 gigabyte...

I’m having issues using CMSDDR. The output is copied below. Any
thoughts?
The device I’m CMSDDRing is an MDISK defined on an EDEV. The size of the
MDISK is 17 gig.
I **can** use CP DDR to copy the MDISK to another MDISK of equal size
defined on the same EDEV. I ran CP DDR because the error message seemed
to imply that there was an I/O error reading the input device(A497). CP
DDR could read the entire MDISK so I believe the error message is
misleading.
A couple random pieces of information:
- We are running z/VM 5.4; CMS Level 24, Service Level 002
- I’ve used CMSDDR to create CMS files from other smaller MDISKs
defined on the same EDEV.
- The MDISK on which I’m trying to create the new file is larger than
the MDISK I’m trying to CMSDDR.
- I’ve tried CMSDDR with a small and large (2 gig) virtual machine
size.
- The CMSDDR invocation which fails does create a file on the target
MDISK. I believe it contains blocks 0-2097151.
