I wonder why the boundary between track managed and cylinder mamanged space is
between cylinders 65519 snd 65520. And why is the space unit 21 cylinders when
it comes to the cylinder mamange space?
I understand there there are two things that are different between those two
areas (see also the
Hi Frank,
We are in the process of upgrading from COBOL 4.2 to 5.1 and, let me tell
you, it's been a nightmare.
First off, before even considering ordering 5.2, convert all your load
libraries to PDSE - as someone else stated, you have no option. This in
itself leads to confusion and

It will be a nightmare.
One question to the OP: Are your COBOL programs calling to or are called from
other programs compiled in languages like C++, Assembler, PL/I,

Just thought I would let you know what happened.
The Client application was constantly getting 2c datasets. Therefore, we
decided to let SMS control the allocation by setting OVERRIDE SPACE YES.
This allowed the user to get their work done.
We are still back tracking in the client-mainframe

Larre,
Is it possible that the SMS ACS routines are not handling the dynamic
tape allocation properly?
Another thought is does the step require TSO? If TSO is not required and
the program can be called from REXX, can the step execute IRXJCL instead
of IKJEFT1A?

You can use RMF to get the enqueues to see what might have been going on at the

You can check syslog when the batch job ran and see if there are any message
