Once upon a time I had a copy of a book that gave the naming convention for naming elements for SMPE so that one would not conflict with IBM either in LPA, or LNKLST, etc. And one could even share a common CSI. I know it has to have been updated by now (my copy was from back about 1997). An

No it isn’t just a financial thing. They transferred the money & liabilities to a firm that thinks it can turn a profit on the investment. The current IBM pension liability was over funded. (Over 100%) If the new pension fund owner invests in say Bitcoin and loses 2/3 like Bitcoin did over the p

If you specify HFS as a filesystem in BPXPRMxx on z/OS V2R5 it will get rejected. The system will come up, but the mounting of HFS file systems will fail. You can also specify ZFS as a parameter in IDCAMS when defining a VSAM dataset. This replaces the Dataset type of LINEAR and obviates the
