Re: SYNCSORT Question with IFTHEN and JOINKEYS

2020-09-15 Thread Massimo Biancucci
Bill, I think the problem is the IFTHEN on BOTHFLS. SS "thinks" there's an option to write a record other than 711,1,CH,EQ,C'1' and 711,1,CH,NE,C'1'. We know it's not possible. So it's enough to change the IFTHEN in: IFTHEN=(WHEN(1,1,CH,EQ,C'1'), BUILD=(1:1,710)),

I have never considered giving a single user his own ucat. You can create multiple ucats according to function. But like users should point to the same ucat. If you have a product that creates thousands of data sets for its own purposes, you might consider creating a ucat just for that product.

One more thing Charles, I know you are working on the Dallas EDP systems. If and when you get migrated to a new z/OS, you will lose user entries in MCAT. IBM will expect that you will take care of IMPORT connect of your user catalogs to the new MCAT. On Wed, Sep 16, 2020 at 10:46 AM Wayne

Hi Charles, I have a self-imposed rule: Always do it in Batch (rather than via TSO and/or ISPF). This has at least 2 benefits: 1) It's repeatable and a history is automatically kept (assuming that you save every Batch Job). 2) You get to learn the Utilities faster. Regards, David On

It's a catalog administration issue, except for the Unix housekeeping. Are you talking about a completely new installation, or adding a new user at an existing installation? If the latter, then there's also an issue of local policy. In general, there should be multiple user catalog, based upon

You should have a catalog already set up for users. What I'd do is find another regular user, and then go to ISPF 3.4. Put in that userid as the HLQ. The top entry in the list should be just the ID and *ALIAS on the right. Do an "I" (information) on this entry. It should show you a catalog name.
