Ed, I consider that cheaper and a lot less cumbersome than VLF. I was at one place and they had a good size turnover of Sysprogs and none of them even thought about VLF after applying fixes. There was a decent number of head scratching as to why fixes didn't fix. [Ron Hawkins] VLF caching

Monika, Provided it is a PDS you can FREEZE the library in LLA to avoid BLDL IO. Non load module PDS-E will not be honored as FROZEN by LLA. There will be no member caching of non load module PDS or PDS-E in VLF unless it is a REXX or CLIST using EXEC, and you specify the class for IKJEXEC in

FYI, the shipped default for DFSORT R14 was COBEXIT=COB1 and we changed it to COBEXIT=COB2 starting with z/OS DFSORT V1R10. Hopefully, your site will move to supported releases of z/OS and DFSORT soon. How old are DFSORT R14 and z/OS V1R4? How old is z/OS V1R10? It will help me make a case

Curious about your email address domain name, I plugged in 'reinken.us' into my web browser and was sent to a GoDaddy page that asks Want to buy this domain name? What's up with that? GoDaddy will take $60 to pester me about selling it on a potential buyer's behalf. I could get rid of it if

Subtasks during cancel

I am in a sub-tasking environment and I am using specific tasks to do I/O. For the most part this is working well but when I cancel the address space the system shuts down these I/O tasks and my ESTAE routine needs them. Does anyone have a way to keep the system from shutting down the subtasks
