I'm looking at https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSLTBW_2.2.0/com.ibm.zos.v2r2.ie aa200/eaa9ape.htm return codes (decimal) 40, 44 and 48. The equate names do not seem to go with the "Meaning." In fact, as I look at little further, the symbol names do not correspond to their values in

I don't need any optional adventures in debugging. I have 16 bytes to spare; not sure I have much hair to spare. I just thought that perhaps someone might say "yeah, we do it all the time," or that Peter or Jim might know. Charles -Original Message- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion

JCL 'SYMBOLS=' vs. IDCAMS SYMBOLICRELATE

2017-10-04 Thread Steve Horein
I am in the process of building JCL to distribute resources across several images. I've been leveraging 'SYMBOLS=' in JCL to assist in that capacity. I've now come to a point where some conditional processing takes place, and I am using IDCAMS IF-THEN logic to determine whether to ALTER - NEWNAME

I can really only echo what Chris Blaicher said. Setting up multiple DUs (TCBs and SRBs) with their own PEs, and managing the PETs can be a mind-bending experience. I can't say why you can't use the same field for the updated token, but I strongly suspect you cannot. It's been more than a year

It was a while ago when I wrote a bunch of code using pause elements, but as I remember having those the same was not good. It may have been because I was using XFR. PAUSE/RELEASE and XFER are great services, a bear to get setup and get right, but 4 years and probably trillions of uses later,

For IEAVPSE, can pause_element_token and updated_pause_element_token both be the same field? I don't see much use for the old pause_element_token after IEAVPSE completes. Charles -- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive
