Your mystification is apparently due to poor memory. I suggest that you review the archives for the subject:: REFRPROT History Question, a thread which you started on March 1, 2013. In particular, see my answers in

Re: APF authorization and AC(00)

A refreshable program may modify itself, right? REFR does not say "I don't modify myself" it says "you can reload me if you want." Almost the same thing, but not quite. Granted, modifying program storage is a bad idea -- in any event. Charles -Original Message- From: IBM Mainframe

John, Thanks I will try both variations and see if either works. The vendor is trying to create a non-mainframe universal one-size fits all installation process, that you would then load up to the mainframe. So they want to be able to have their customers install on Windows, Linux, AIX,

Re: Does the JES2 ESTBYTE parm limit STC or just batch output?

Thank you all. Jesse answered the question. It looks like STCs are agnostic to ESTBYTE. Regardless of the line count, if a STC takes 25% of the spool, it needs to be cancelled, either by Exit 20, Netview, or as a last resort the operator. Oh well, back to the drawing board, Exit 20, and

Re: Does the JES2 ESTBYTE parm limit STC or just batch output?

I should probably relay my old story about estimated line counts: Back around 1984 a spool shortage occurred that slowed or stopped all processing enough that the manager response was "Put in some limits". So someone implemented a JES2 exit that 722'd when the estimated line count was

I have no dog in this fight -- never worked for government, never dealt with Compuware, don't remember problems with CA. Issues with other vendors, sure, as have been abundantly described here. Closest I came to gov work was 14 years at Mitre Corporation -- not-for-profit government research

It was going fairly well. Then management went full reverse on the outsourcing. They cancelled the contract. So we are in-sourcing everything which had been out-sourced. So OPS/mvs is staying. On Jun 10, 2017 03:56, "Tony Thigpen" wrote: > John, > > How did your OPS/MVS

It is not Splunk speaking to Syncsort the MFX sort product, it is the Syncsort Ironstream product sending data to Splunk. See http://www.syncsort.com/en/Products/Mainframe/Ironstream If you download the trial copy from there you get the manual. Chris Blaicher Technical Architect Mainframe
