Others may chime in with a similar suggestion... If you have DFSORT, you could run DCOLLECT (IDCAMS utility) and pass the output to DFSORT to produce the reports. I know IBM has some stuff on one of their sites that provides the job streams and SORT SYSIN statements. If you can not locate

I probably already know the answer but does the number of segments/offsets change with each record type or would/do they remain the same? If the later, then there is a DFSORT solution. On Wed Jun 4 12:59 , Tim Hare [EMAIL PROTECTED] sent: Really two questions I guess. 1. We have variable

Enhanced JCL processor? (and maybe a few other thoughts)

2008-06-04 Thread McKown, John
This is a blue sky idea for discussion. It is not a request to IBM. But it derives from an earlier thread on the short comings of the current JCL. So, I was just thinking of possible enhancements which should not affect the internal text or only do so minimally. Just some idea. I'll try to

Quite honestly, there is nothing free about PCI. Requirements for PCI compliance are not free. Doesn't matter if you try to do it all yourself or have people come in to help. There is a definite cost. As to the class, it is just about Communication Server aspects. Seems like a good idea.

Is there really a requirement for a JCL statement to be 80 columns? When I go into SDSF, and do SJ (I think) on a job, I go into an edit session that extracts the JCL that submitted the job. If I scroll to the right, the image is actually 251 or 255 bytes wide. Since I'm not working right

I think the key is when doing SJ, as long as you don't go past column 71, you will be ok. Your statement said only that you wanted to be able to use wider than 80 columns, although I suppose that would mean putting something past column 80. I think the JCL book would say you can't go beyond
