I am guessing the LRECL-256 is handy when reading the directory? The loader handles reading the actual programs. On Wed, Sep 5, 2018 at 10:41 PM Brian Westerman wrote: > > Hi, > > I had an "interesting" conversation today. Apparently some of the libraries > shipped by some vendors or at least

load library lrecl=??

2018-09-05 Thread Brian Westerman
Hi, I had an "interesting" conversation today. Apparently some of the libraries shipped by some vendors or at least the directions to define them specify RECFM=U,LRECL=256. I had never considered LRECL as an valid option when defining a load library and so always coded RECFM=U,LRECL=0. Is

You may want to look at CA Shareoption5. I know that was used in a VSE->z/OS migration in a past life, and seem to recall it was something to do with addressing online & batch concurrency/integrity. On Wed, 5 Sep 2018 at 23:24, Mark Waterbury < 01c3f560aac1-dmarc-requ...@listserv.ua.edu>

Who said SVS did not have VSAM? SVS certainly did have VSAM ... It was an ICR -- Independent Component Release -- so somewhat tricky to get it installed into SVS, but once installed, it did work... and CICS/VS used it ... This was on SVS 1.7 circa 1976-77... And, just like on MVS, on SVS, we

Re: Auto backup of zfs

2018-09-05 Thread Lizette Koehler
As I stated. If you use DFDSS, it will quiesce the zfs file, making it unavailable during the time of the backup. All work needs to be stopped against a zFS in order to back it up. Otherwise you could have a corrupted backup. As others have pointed out Lizette > -Original Message-

The SMF30 Processor Accounting Section is a good place for the total and zIIP processor consumption but if you are also interested in the delay aspects you won't find anything in SMF30. For delay information you can turn to RMF Mon III, or just use the postprocessor reports with report classes

I agree that programmers should adopt tools from other platforms, but only when they are appropriate tools for the job at hand, not simply because they are in style. A good hammer is an essential tool, but it's a terrible screwdriver. When it comes to configuration control and serialization

See the zFS Admin book for the proper way to back up a zFS dataset. If the zFS is mounted TOL(ENQF) is NOT recommended. Further, it should be backed up from the same system where it’s mounted (I can’t remember if that still applies if you are using zFS sysplex sharing). In the past, I’ve had
