Same story every few year. In fact, the term 'Dead wood' is coming from IBM

I believe I offered an answer to your question. If there's no other test

I'm supposing that when you say HCD you mean IODF.
Further, when you mention REXX code, I'm guessing you are referring to Mark
Zelden's IPLINFO REXX.
This interrogates a couple of control blocks that I can't see documented, not
in the Data Areas manuals, nor in MACLIB/MODGEN (IOVT and CDA ).

When we went to pure virtual tape, this is what we got back from IBM DFHSM L2:
PARTIALTAPE(REUSE) vs PARTIALTAPE(MARKFULL)
When using a virtual tape system, IBM usually recommends using
PARTIALTAPE(MARKFULL).
RECYCLE
You (or automation) need to issue the RECYCLE command, it is not automatic.
With our VTS, we found ourselves in the position where the default
automatic DFHSM recycle was unable to keep up with scratch cartridge
release that was needed to maintain the required scratch count, which was
putting the whole VTS environment at risk (90+% of which was consumed by
DFHSM migration)

If you have Gnu tar on the system, tar takes a gzip switch

The CBU test starts when the first processor is activated. That starts the 10

I think the op question was about the file system name during the COBOL
installation. Do you need to setup a new path, use an existing path or how
does COBOL 5.2 know to use the COBOL 5.2 path vs. the other path? Or is the
file system not needed during comp/lked?

Just of of completeness you can call the program direct if you have not

That said the bin directory should already be in the search paths so
check it via

If not add it to your profile (or for all users if wanted).

The JCL for the compiles are substantially different, so your customer will
have to select the correct option from a panel you provide (presumably).
There is no direct impediment to running two different COBOL compilers
concurrently. You'll probably have one just sitting entirely in a STEPLIB, a
Joel Ewing has made a valid point about programs potentially having LRECL

Tim Brown is silent on what he actually wants to do this for. Until then it's

Why not just create a VBA file with a very long LRECL and not worry about it at
all? Longer LRECLs don't introduce any more oveReader than short ones.
