I did a fast check. If I use a standard telnet client, not TN3270, I get a line mode connection. Now I need to think if this will do what I want, or just use REXX ADDRESS TSO. On May 9, 2011 7:35 PM, "John McKown" wrote: > Interesting thought. A UNIX command which emulates LU1 instead of LU2. > Th

Re: TSO terminals?

Interesting thought. A UNIX command which emulates LU1 instead of LU2. Thanks! I think LU1 would be easier to emulate than the 3270 data stream. LU1 would likely be similar to what I recall of the 3767. On Sun, 2011-05-08 at 21:37 -0400, Shmuel Metz (Seymour J.) wrote: > In , on 05/06/2011 >at

We had successfully run some REXX procedures that used REXX in the batch to process job output through SDSF on z/OS 1.9. To get it to work in 1.9, we created a new user group, which we put first in our ISFPRM member and associated the designated users by adding an IUID statement that addressed a

Start by explaining what you mean by "a non-existent dataset." Do you mean a catalog entry for which there is no corresponding dataset on the indicated volume? If that is the case, then there is no need to remove it from the volume (since it is not there anyway). But you do want to remove it f

Jason, I suspect that when you add a member to a PDS using ISPF that you are not satisfying all of the conditions described in "USING DATASETS 3.2.5.4 Releasing Space." I leave to other to define which one it may be, or disagree. My guess is that when you use ISPF, the last operation before clos
