The Final PDS needs to be allocated with an LRECL GE the largest input LRECL.
Use IEBGENER to copy the input file AND PAD with blanks the remainder

Best is you use the LRECL on the output DD statement so IEBGENER does
not try to override the LRECL with the input LRECL.

When you build a memory chip, the input is X number of address bits,
and you have to return 2 ** X number of unique storage bytes. If the
next chip will allow 1 more bit, you have to hold twice as many
storage locations. So memory chips *MUST* be a multiple of 2.
Examples are 10 address bits, 1,0

Umm, isn't that the Internet? Mainframes, Servers, and PCs able to

EXPDT=90nnn (to 90365)
Keeps nnn days after deletion.
Normal used might be 90005, where it is not deleted until 5 days after
deleting. But alter the EXPDT to keep the last one for up to 365
after deleting. Re-catalog before the expire date to recover.

What our VTS does is scratch enough of VTAPEs to keep 5% space ready
to be written to in a particular file system. So it might be a week
or two or a few months before a particular tape is removed from VTAPE.
If the EXPDT=90nnn doesn't work like I thought, then set a fixed EXPDT

Use BLKSIZE=0. It will use the optimum (largest) blocksize that is
valid. 32K, 64K, or 256K.

IBM mainframes use ECKD formatted tracks.
Since the manufacture of actual 3390s ended, DASD storage has been
emulated on FBA (PC / Unix disk), usually in a RAID 5 configuration.
Occasionally, you might run across a 3380 volume as these are also
supported.
Yes, Virtual tapes are stored on disk, some
On emulated DASD, I/O is almost always an entire track at a time.

I am guessing, once the bad number is written somewhere, it gets
reentered again (documents, etc).
1. Create a new table within your current database design called Bad-Cust-Num.
2. Create a display / edit screen to populate the Bad-Cust-Num database.
3. Add a function to this screen to change 1 Cu

One more complication. In some cases, you might need to insert the
New-Cust-Num so you can insert dependent records, then go back and
delete the Old-Cust-Num. And if you have unique keys on other fields,
you might have to delete the old dependent record before inserting the
replacement depended r

You could put one update select for every table in one program.
Are there any definitions that won't allow you to enter the new cust
num in a table if it is not present in another table?
Are there any definitions that will auto delete records in another
table if you change in one table?
