Re: How to expand SYS1.LINKLIB?

Depending on this module, you might be able to temporarily move it to another data set in the LINKLST and use it until you can get the SYS1.LINKLIB fixed. But only if the fix is urgent enough to install. Or look at MLPA as an alternative until you get SYS1.LINKLIB fixed. If it isn't urgent, then

Merge SMF records

Hi all We are fighting against a problem with SORT and SMF records. We are trying to merge two smf files obtaining this error message: ICE204A 2 INCOMPLETE SPANNED RECORD DETECTED ON - RC=16 When we try to use the SPANINC=RC0/RC4 option, we obtain this error message:

Re: How to expand SYS1.LINKLIB?

No, there is no safe way to expand SYS1.LINKLIB on the running system. If you want an unsafe way, - create a copy of SYS1.LINKLIB such as SYS1.LINKLIB.COPY - create a LNKLST set that specifies NOCHECK and includes SYS1.LINKLIB.COPY in the right place along with specifying SYS1.MIGLIB and SYS1.CSSL
