Hi
Has anyone moved your z hardware from z114 to z14 ?
Any gotchas and how was your migration experience ?
We are at zOS 2.2 with z114.

Actually, I think that inside VSAM, what is specified via SHAREOPTIONS would

z/OS DISP=(OLD,DELETE) works without any problem to delete a VSAM cluster that
you own. I use that JCL all the time to delete test VSAM files.

I have a few minutes, so I thought I would make some more comments.
1) z/OS JCL statements are much more complex than z/VSE because they
have a lot more 'options'. But, to be honest, most programmers just use
a small sub-set of what they could use.
Take a simple "I want to use a VSAM file". H

for both parent and child after the FORK?

Let's put this to rest. To completely replace JCL with REXX is not an option.
If you want to run certain applications driven by REXX program, by my guest,
that's a design issue. But please don't plan on replacing everything with REXX.
