It is just as misleading as any of the other similar pitches with a
selective view. If all of the systems were interchangeable then it would
make sense to compare their $$ costs.
Functionally however, w

Hi:
Just to add some additional comments to this item:
The Hursley staff has stated at several conferences I have attended
(SHARE and the CICS Technical Conference) that a TCB switch (e.g., QR to
L8 (DB2)) within CICS takes around 2000 instructions or a round trip
4000 instructions. It would see
I don't think there's anything unsafe about using load modules as input to
the link editor - you just have to be aware of what's "not there"
potentially in a load module. Or try it in some particular situation and see
if it works. The link editor is pretty good at telling you that things did
not wo
I do notice that some of the backup entries in the BCDS that are still
floating around and were initially backed up off these obsolete volumes
still reference that volume in the record. Would deleting the primary
volume entry from the BCDS cause us any issues with these backup entries??
Also I did
I have batch Rexx execs that I use to dynamically create and submit JCL.
I can schedule the primary job through our scheduler, however, since the
primary job creates and submits the secondary job, the scheduler knows
nothing about it. Hence, the need to control the secondary job via an

Chris,
Thanks a lot.I remember you've helped me so many times in this list and
thanks again.
You said:
' I believe you can pass a load module through the linkage editor as
many times as you like and I was going to say "you'll do it no harm" but I

The "FIXCDS P" command is the proper cleanup method, and your syntax is
correct. It is safe.

I recently ran a list on our primary volumes and noticed that we had about
20 obsolete volumes still floating around. I issued a DELVOL Primary for
them and assumed this would clean the entries out of the BCDS as well as the
MCDS. As usual, I was wrong. When I issue a LIST PVOL BCDS against them
Is the question "what JCL or similar statement parameters can I specify that
will limit a job to ten wall clock minutes of execution time?"
I don't know that there is an answer but someone in this august group may.
