Re: Enqueue during VSAM REPRO - Who is the culprit

For more than a decade I've wished for a parmlib option to request that dynamic allocation automatically display the blocking user. Sounds like I might not be the only person who would like that. Don > -Original Message- > From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.

Many years ago, my first APF authorized program was to solve the normal vs. the abnormal DISP problem for utility programs that trap and prevent abends. At the time I was too green to realize that there were many public domain solutions readily available (via tape, there was no Internet, yet), so I

K, Ki, are scaling factors, therefore I would call that type of formatting scaled format. I expect most people would understand what I meant. > -Original Message- > From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU] > On Behalf Of Charles Mills > Sent: Thursday, May 02,

2015-08-25 Thread Don Williams
Sadly, as previously stated, MVS has always worked this way. During allocation recovery, no new allocations can be processed. I agree that a RFE would be nice. Perhaps allocation recovery could be by device class. That way a DASD or tape allocation recovery would not block a console allocation. On

Re: vary ,console with an IEF238D outstanding.

In every shop that I've worked in, the pool of 3270 devices defined as consoles were solely dedicated to that purpose. A separate pool of 3270 devices not defined as consoles were dedicated as terminals. So I would be perfectly happy to have an CONSOLxx option to formally dedicate the consoles as c

Years ago I wanted the same and I never found one nor wrote one. FTP's EBCDIC <-> ASCII translation is for the entire logical record. You would need a "field" level translation to get no translation for the length fields and EBCDIC <-> ASCII translation for the text fields. On Tue, Sep 1, 2015 at

So I'm not the only person to think that options to control translation might be useful. Choice of code page would be good. Ability to exclude BDW/RDW from translation would be nice too. On Thu, Sep 3, 2015 at 1:16 PM John McKown wrote: > On Thu, Sep 3, 2015 at 11:36 AM, Paul Gilmartin < > 0
