Re: CA Easytrieve replacement

There is/was an IBM tool, which was suppose to replace Easytrieve. The IBM product basically converts to the Easytrieve to Cobol, but without regards to performance or maintainability. Our experience was not a good one. Jerry Edgington -Original Message- From: IBM Mainframe Discussio

Re: can SMS managed VSAM file be deleted while allocated

Allocated, doesn't imply open. If a dataset is only allocated to a batch job or stc and not opened, then the last referenced date is not updated. Therefore, HSM will consider it during its routines, either for deletion or archive. -- Jerry -- -Original Message- From: IBM Mainframe Discu
