I haven't tested it myself, but what I would hope is that it works like
unix utilities, where the file you specify could actually be a directory.
It is pretty common when using tar etc. to set the working directory,
and specify e.g. "." (a dot) to select the current directory, or specify

The DSS manual say that when you specify a directory, it does not dump the
files under that directory. That's very different from the behavior of, e.g.,
tar.

I guess I shouldn't be surprised, given how often IBM don't do things
the way I hoped.
I'm hoping that it's still a 'work in progress' & that one day I'll be able
to say 'DUMP PATH INCLUDE('/foldera/folderb/**') or something close to that.

No. Why would you want to?
It is possible to delete a dynamic-LPA module dynamically but it is almost

You are correct. For now, you must specify all the path names, but we
understand this is a capability that ought to be provided in DFSMSdss. As
others have mentioned, you may be able to use other tools to craft a list of
path names and use that to generate DFSMSdss SYSIN statements. There is a

Yeah, like every rule, there are exceptions. If on some particular system there
were a very high overhead for a failed file open (or some analogous operation)
then that might justify pre-validating an operand.

ORG *,8 doesn't do anything that DS 0D doesn't do, but ORG *,256 has no DS

The syntax diagram in the HLASM reference shows ORG ,8 to be invalid syntax, so
there is no way that the message could be legitimate; there should have been a
message for syntax error.

Peter,
We are running NVAS 2.1, but it has been a LONG time since we implemented it
and I don't remember all of the details.
Here is link to the manuals if you don't have it already:
http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/tividd/td/NetViewAccessServices2.1.html
IIRC there are 2 exits provided by IBM.
I *think* it remembers the option on the main panel, assuming you actually exit
ISPF rather than 622'ing.
I *like* the behavior. I don't mind the extra "are you sure?" on a single
dataset delete -- has saved my @ss once or twice -- and if I am deleting a
bunch, I set it off on the first confirm
z/OS 2.4, it does not remember shutting those options off. I'm OK with the
behavior and could take it either way but I know I'd be recovering user
datasets much more often if the "are you sure" wasn't there.

I have a sourceid in a global zone that doesnt show up in the target zone. When
I run an apply it fails with :

Since I'm seeing nothing applied and no errors listed, my best guess is that
any PTFs in the GLOBAL zone are;

2) For different FMIDs from those that are already installed in the target zone
3) For a different SREL

Thanks for the replies.
I ordered UJ01255, it had PUT2001 (no RSU 8 months later).
I did raise the issue with support, was told :
UJ01255 was not included in RSU2001.
It didn't not meet the following criteria:
-Severity 1 or 2
-HIPER
-PEFIX
it was superseded by UJ02346 in PUT2003 which was contained in RSU2006. so I
would imagine that if it was already supped just 2 months later that getting it
now would probably not be a productive use of your time.
While you can install by PUT, I would not. I think it's far better to stick
with
