I've got a question for the group-at-large, which I hope will be obvious to someone deeply in-the-know. I've got a program that opens a VB PDS (RECFM=VB,BLKSIZE=2550,LRECL=255). But - note that I said it opens the PDS, not a member of the PDS. That open succeeds, and presumably, the program will

Steve It appears that the first level definition does not specify a default service class for SI DBP1. Therefore the asterisk does exactly what it should, putting the fallthrough threads in DISC. The problem can be remedied by specifying as follows: 1 SI DBP1DB2TTRAN 2 PNMANTIS

Hi Dave. I too have an unpleasant taste in my mouth from multi-level aliases. I don't remember a lot of the details, but they were a PITA when I was merging two master catalogs. It didn't help that the shop I was in also made extensive use of dataset aliases, which I detest. One question fo
