In the Free Software community, "hacking" means programming for the joy of it.
Not breaking in. That's the media.
When you say "goodbye" to Richard M. Stallman, he responds, "Happy hacking!"

John,
Confirmed. It seems to treat the out-of-sequence level number as just the next
logical level down (i.e., treats level 12 just like level 15 after the
preceding level 10). For this example code:
ID DIVISION.
PROGRAM-ID.

I seem to recall a recent enhancement to z/FTP dynamic allocation that reports
contention and retries some number of times at user-defined intervals. TSO
ALLOC and IDCAMS might take that as an example for future development.

Scott, that's easy. They obviously want more money to modernize and they

Good Question!
I do not have a good answer. I have assumed it was is use for additional "phone

Is the dataset in question in a usercat or mastercat? If usercat, is that
usercat connected to both systems, AND is the alias defined in both mastercats?

Hello,
We have an environment where the DASD are shared and Catalogs are also
shared.
So I am trying browse a Dataset from an LPAR it is openable but when I try
to open the same Dataset using 3.4 with the Volume but it says not
catalogued.
I try doing 'C' against the Dataset but still I get a
Hi,
"Are these LPARs in the same SysPlex or not? "
This LPARs are in same Sysplex. We use common SCDS,ACDS files across the
Plex
Each LPAR has its own Master Catalog and they are connected to each other

No such "macro" or tool exists from IBM.
Some parmlib member owners provide mechanisms for syntax-checking their
specific member(s). I believe syntax-checking is available for BPXPRMxx
and some of the GRS members.
z/OS 2.2 provides syntax checking of PROGxx via the ",C" sub-option: SET

We, IBM-MAIN members, expect to see all message headers, RC, Reason Code and
all other related messages on SYSLOG, TSO, batch job, etc.

First,
You indicate that you are using 3.4 with the dataset name and volser, is that
correct?
If so, when you are in 3.4 use PF11 and scroll to the right to ensure the
dataset exists.
In 3.4 a dataset that is cataloged only but no physical data set will not
have SPACE or other attributes as

I am trying to compile a report on space allocation for certain dsns. I am

The SPACE is displayed with a value of K e.g. 55K. Can it be changed to
