A note relating to this question:
There was a problem (bug) in IBM's bind avoidance function in the DB2
precompiler. It was dependent on a string constant that the COBOL compiler
optimized away. Which obviously was a problem. (I don't remember the
details.)
It may have influenced the

There are different circumstances in which code sequences may be 'unreachable'.
Most commonly, in my experience, a sequence of instructions that was
once executed is left behind when maintenance changes are made, either

Hi John,
Please list the GZONE entry from the global zone of SMP.CICSTS51.GLOBAL.CSI to
see if HCTG900 appears in the FMID subentry list.
SET BDY(GLOBAL).
LIST GZONE.
You should get a result like:
GLOBALUPGLEVEL = SMP/E 36.59
Lizette, I think that is an oversimplification. For a lot of datasets a catalog
search is not needed to access them as long as the system can find them. Some
examples:
LPALSTxx:
PRTCP.PERM.SEZALPA(SYSR1),
PROGxx:
APFADD DSN(PRTCP.PERM.SEZALOAD) VOLUME(SYSR1)
LNKLST
With one caveat, I agree. That caveat relates to the cache. If the
optimizer leaves in too much in the way of junk instructions, then the
efficiency of the cache is decreased. So, IMO, I would argue that it is
relevant for a compiler to minimize the number of bytes to perform an
action. Especially

Hi all,

I am not clear on why you want a different HLQ.
Perhaps the SYMBOLICRELATE might be more helpful. You can use Symbolics on
different LPARs but have the same dataset name used on all.
For example.
DSN A.B.C can be used on all lpars
Underneath the symbolicrelate says on
LPAR1 A.B.REL1.C
I do not believe you can do this (using only standard facilities).
Without looking it up, I am 99% positive that hlq1 and hlq2 *must* be in the
same user catalog for this to work.
As others have also pointed out, symbolicrelate may be of help, however, I

Two points if I may.
