Re: Ancient documentation - DRET
Shimon, Some of us old packrats have a lot of manuals and other assorted items. DRET is not a term I am familiar with. It is apparently an acronym for something. Perhaps if we (I) knew, it might ring some bells on a possible location of that manual you are looking for.

Re: How Submit a JOB from Z/VM to Z/OS using RSCS ?
Thank you Kris and Clovis, I went rummaging through some old archives (boxes in storage) and found an old copy of the EXEC I was referring to. Some of the features of the EXEC: Full parameter substitution based on keyword Keywords can come from “global variable”, “userid() variable” or command line Unlimited nested includes (with full parameter substitution) Runs from command line or within Xedit If run from within Xedit, will save the current session to a temp file and process that I don’t know the original source for the EXEC as there are no comments to that effect in the code.

On the MVS side of the house, they needed to add a 1403 impact printer to the MVS IODEF. But since IODEF asked for a control unit and we had no idea at all what a 1403 printer control unit was called, we settled for a 3203 since it appears that the 3203 CU was the 3203. 3203's sort of complicate things, however, because of FCB and UCS image loading. If you define a 1403 printer, is the control unit 1403 as well? We can't seem to find a 1403 Functional Characteristics manual for some reason.
