Re: AMATERSE and PDSE ?

In my case the only interrelatedness was that my thought - a record exit on UNPACK - also related to AMATERSE. So Peter was right to suggest it was the subject of a different RFE. Cheers, Martin From: Peter Relson To: IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU Date: 11/04/2015 23:34 Subject:Re

Exactly. The OP is looking for a free ride. I will also point out that the book is somewhat dated, and there have been improvements to JCL since (access to system symbols, promotion of such to SYSIN, PARMDD, etc.). Ant. -Original Message- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:IBM

Silly SMS ACS routine question

2015-04-12 Thread Binyamin Dissen
I am using a storage class routine, but it does not receive control for DEFINE LOGSTREAM unless I explicitly specify a class - it seems to first go to a storage volume. What am I missing? -- Binyamin Dissen http://www.dissensoftware.com Director, Dissen Software, Bar & Grill - Israel Should y

Re: Silly SMS ACS routine question

2015-04-12 Thread Lizette Koehler
I think I understand. You run the DEFINE LOGSTREAM process but need to add a STORCLAS parm to it. Is that correct? If so, you need to add WRITE statements to your ACS code so you can see what things look like before and after the section in the code you think should be getting control. It would

Re: Silly SMS ACS routine question

2015-04-12 Thread Rob Schramm
Sort of correct. ACS routines will assign STORCLAS based upon the STORCLAS routine. If the logger is allowed to override the STORCLAS and you have one specified for the logstream, then the override is allowed. Rob Schramm On Apr 12, 2015 10:54 AM, "Lizette Koehler" wrote: > I think I understan

Somehow strange discussion, IMHO. I´'m sure that there are many bright people in the COBOL community. But: COBOL could well be some sort of biotope for not so well teached programmers. And: most significant software packages on the mainframe that do complicated algorithms and computations (math,
