It does seem implausible, but who knows. It is all in the parsing and for now we can only really be sure that it means what it means. Therefore I emailed the DFSMS architect I spoke with and requested clarification. I will share when/if she responds. HTH, Mike -Original Message-

Extended format (VSAM and non-VSAM) Or (Extended format VSAM) and (non-VSAM) ? The former is redundant or overly wordy: why not just say "extended format datasets"? The latter, OTOH, seems implausible to me. Why would they do all non-VSAM but only extended format VSAM? Charles

Listers: I am already at the end of searches and reading. We have a batch job that connects to an external site using XML. It works well in our test environment but we are getting an error when we execute in production. I have googled but haven't had any luck. Any idea would be welcomed. Thank

There shouldn't be any harm in using the SPHERE option on a VSAM dataset copy operation. SPHERE specifies that, for any VSAM cluster copied, all associated AIX® clusters and paths are to be copied. Individual names of sphere components do not need to be specified. Only the base cluster name is
