Not necessarily. There are companies that forbid posting for whatever reason, but allow perusal. There are nasties that roam all lists and scarf addresses (and udids)as they can. I don't know how successful they'll be, but even MS is putting a good bit of attention to 'bot stopping' code.

I hadn't thought of that. Changing parameters in a PARMLIB requires a change control, just like JCL do. We need somehow to monitor when one of these types of jobs (no SIZE= equivalent in an internal SORT) is getting close to exceeding our default SORTWKnn size. Which likely means trying to use t

Re: DFSORT use EXTENDED FORMAT for SORTWKnn DDs?

Becasue DFSORT uses EXCP to access the SORTWKnn data sets, it does not support extended format. When DFSORT detects extended format input and output data sets, it uses BSAM to access them but this capability is not available for SORTWKnn data sets due to the complexity of how DFSORT accesses them.

I am looking at the possibility at making some changes in DFSORT and/or SMS. In particular, I am considering making the SORTWKnn DD allocations have a DATACLAS which specifies EXTENDED FORMAT. This is to allow 123 extents. The DFSORT has confused me a bit. http://publibz.boulder.ibm.com/cgi-bin/
