Not sure exactly how that would be code injection. I meant it as an example of a poorly chosen meta (not quite the right word) in syntax. In your example, if you are going to allow a member name of '*' then giving dataset(*) a special meaning is an invitation to trouble. In DOS/360's case, IBM a

Hercules is just the hardware emulator. The 3270 emulates just the terminal. What you need is an operating system. https://groups.io has some Hercules specific support groups including which operating system you want to install. http://mvs380.sourceforge.net/ has the latest 24 bit addressing o

Fortunately, as the responses showed, the subject request was NOT what was appropriate to do. If XCFAS is down, then that z/OS is down, a wait state. Renaming a data set that is in the LNKLST is inappropriate in all cases. LNKLST UNALLOCATE...LNKLST ALLOCATE is intended for a case where you need

Hi Dave, In case that it's a LNKLKSTd PDSE (i.e. not a PDS) and it's close to 100% full (Of course, it's only 1 extent, because that's a good practice for LNKLST Datasets)  and more than a few large modules/program objects are deemed to be in use, your IEBCOPY Job will ABEND x37, even though in

Pardon if I missed someone else pointing it out, but one can also browse the PDS/PDSE from 3.4 (panel ISRUDSM, not ISRBROM) and enter 's * d' on the command line. It's not as fast or efficient in operation as some of the others . . . . First Horizon Bank Mainframe Technical Support -Origin

Hi Dave, For LNKLSTd PDSEs, modules deemed to be in use aren't "removed" from the PDSE, which could cause shortage of directory blocks or space. I usually have to run it twice. The first time is without a PARM, the second time with PARM='PerformPendingDelete,NoAnalysis'. Please see: https://w
