Re: DFHSM QUESTION - SETSYS PARTIALTAPE(MIGRATION(MARKFULL) BACKUP(MARKFULL))

Most likely you have sent a tape that has not been 'marked full' offsite. A list of your ML2 tapes should confirm this. You might consider checking the backup tapes also. - Original Message - From: "O'Brien, David W. (NIH/CIT) [C]" Newsgroups: bit.listserv.ibm-main To: Sent: Wednesd

Re: How to calculate size of a PS dataset (no, no yet again)

Shmuel, So what is your answer to the question? In the meantime, when the minimum allocation unit I can use is a track, and a track has 56664 bytes, the that will be the size of the file. If the op asked how many bytes of data is in his file than I would employ some other method. The OP did not

Does anybody heard about EMC Compatible Peer features which allows EMC DASDs to use IBM DR solutions such as GDPS-PPRC and GDPS-XRC? Any info how this actually works? What software requirements etc? I have been researching but somehow can't find any info that talks about this in detail. TIA. Re

I don't remember all the mods we made at NCSS, but one change that made a BIG difference on the simplex and duplex 360/67's was this: in the CP kernel, ALL SVC instructions were modified to a BAL to a specific address in the first 4K of storage, where a "vector table" rerouted the call to a spe

Paul, If you are going to use MB notation for space then you need to use the AVGREC parameter. What you have requested in your JCL is the space to allocate 7200 blocks of 787 bytes, not 5666400 bytes. The allocation of 185 tracks meets that requirement because the request for number of blocks m
