I would have been busy "Update JES2 Exits" seems to be popular in every one  JES2 was the last subsystem I inherited from departing/retiring staff. Since we were are a University, our mainframe was connected via TCP/IP for a very long time, I think even pre Z/OS. Our first method was via

Somewhere, maybe in a different branch of this topic, there was a discussion about the pros and cons of replacing Assembler with Java. I apologize for posting here if it's the wrong place, but I can't seem to find the original discussion, and I have a question that seems relevant and important,

Re: IDC3321I ** OPEN/CLOSE/EOV ABEND EXIT TAKEN

What are you trying to do with the Couple Dataset for WLM? Making a backup? Transferring it to a another system to use? Other? CDS datasets are not like normal VSAM. The unities to create it, should be used to handle it. If you can provide details of what you want to do, we can probably

Re: DFSMSdss dump fix after binary transfer

I always take a peek at the DCB attributes of the tersed file and preallocate the same on the receiving system. FTP is then simply binary and get/put into the newly allocated file. On Sun, Apr 22, 2018 at 11:52 PM, CM Poncelet wrote: > 'm afraid I can't help much with this.

Re: How far out of date are my skills

Shouldn't be hard to catch up. SMPE installation you may need to skill up on USS zFS file systems. Installation is from internet or ftp to a zFS pax file etc. CICS changes have been incremental nothing very different. On Mon, Apr 23, 2018 at 5:27 AM, Rugen, Len wrote: > I

How far out of date are my skills

I left the Z/OS world at the version 1.6 after nearly many years of mainframe OS and CICS work . I see adds for telecommute Z/OS support, how far out of date are my skills? What should I read up on to stay current? I know that as we moved along in Z/OS and previous version, 95% of what we

IDC3321I ** OPEN/CLOSE/EOV ABEND EXIT TAKEN

hello All, I'm trying to repro WLM couple dataset to ps file , getting IDC3321I and below given my jcl . help me on this . //SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=A //INDD DD DSN=SYS1.ADCDPL.WLM.CDS01,DISP=SHR //OUDD DD DSN=IBMUSER.WLM.PE,DISP=(NEW,CATLG), // SPACE=(CYL,(250,10)),UNIT=SYSDA, //

Re: Mass submit jcl

I believe this is an effort hat is easily handled by a scheduling software. However, I had to do something like this, and I wrote all my SYSOUT from the JOB to a dataset, then the last step would parse it to see if the next job could be submitted. RC=04 was not always a good thing. And the

Re: DFSMSdss dump fix after binary transfer

'm afraid I can't help much with this. I FTP'd from mainframe to mainframe server, but not to/from my PC (I used TN3270 Plus or QWS3270 for that).   However, from vague memory, tersed files used to have to be RECFM=FB BLKSIZE=6144 LRECL=1024 and the PGM=FTP step's SYSIN required a LOCSITE and
