Re: LLA Management of Linklst datasets

I don't know if they still exist, but there use to be applications that did BLDLs of linklist modules. Refreshing LLA was moot. Compressing those libraries could be hazardous to those applications. Then there was the co-worker who liked to stage changes in linklist and not do the LLA refresh

Re: ESDS extent ...

HSM Recall does not re-invoke the DataClas ACS routine (several years ago, I had to proof that to my teammates). Therefore a recalled data set will have the same data class name. Since a data class could affect many hundreds or thousands of data sets (we still have some applications that cannot

Re: 64 Bit Common Storage (was Common Data Space Basics)

Instruction timing varies drastically due to multi-level cache, parallel and out of order execution, model dependent facilities, etc. You could have best-case and worst-case formulas. But I expect an average-case formula would be too data dependent to be useful. -Original Message- From:
