We had to dump the z/OS Tivoli backup for Lan. They dropped large
block support and the backups took 10 times as long and did not
complete before the next business day (5pm - 8am). Went back to the
previous version then switched to software on the LAN.

receive, then print the file to the printer.

One major consideration should be who sets the time zone. Many
mainframes support users in multiple time zones. So ideally the
mainframe should be set to UTC then the macro should convert to the
local time of the individual application / user.

Fetch usually fails with INSUFFICIENT MEMORY. Increase region size.
If you don't have one, look at the memory stats at the end of step
messages to see what was used and double. Otherwise suggest REGION=4M,
5M, 6M, 7M, 20M, 32M, 64M, etc.

First thing is it loads the address of the next instruction into R14.
It then jumps to that location. Doesn't that cause some processors to

The object code blocks are written in multiples of 1K up to 32,760

you have a lot of external symbols. A linkedit / binder / copymod will

Not for OBJECT modules. The Binder calls a routine to determine the
remaining space on the track, round down to the next multplie of 1k,
and writes no more than that amount on that track.

Kind of like a z/OS address space. Includes application and user
software and database software. Allows the hypervisor on a server to
switch quickly to other applications instead of waiting for more
transactions.

Well, if you use memory accessible from any address space for the file
handling, then writes would be defered until the buffer is full, and
the buffer writes would take place after you already return. Reads
would have to wait if the requested data is not in the input buffers.

You can run z/Linux on Hercules or Z mainframe. Go to
https://hub.docker.com/search?q=&type=image&architecture=s390x .
Select IBM Z as the hardware and there are 2001 images ready to download.
Pick one with the combination of database and language support you want.

IDCAMS command DCOLLECT for the dataset name into a file then read the
file. Divide by about 55k to get the number of tracks used. Assume
all tracks are full and the partial track would be the error amount.

All VSAM datasets including Linear are formatted when created. The
disk space used is not allocated to any other datasets. Previous data
left by deleted datasets is usually left in place (erase on delete is
an option but not used frequently) but frequently overwritten in a
short time so restoring
can look at?

If you know how often the email is to be sent (1/2/3/4 times a day)
and the Bounce (IPL) schedule, you can repeat the DDNAME and each

Yep. You almost need a country code, and for multi zone countries a
zone indicator. Especially since a shared time zone might have
different DST / ST switch dates in different countries.

Depends on the date. If it is during daylight savings, MDT, otherwise CST.
-0500 used to prevent a bit of a challenge. EST, CDT, or Indiana EST all year.

It happens during the job. And you can't access by relative number
until the job completes. You can access by absolute number.

4GL - I've used Telon which takes a screen layout and database layout
and generates the cobol code and editing rules. ADR-Datacom had Ideal
which was similar, later CA. Easytrieve plus I really liked,
especially the report generation part.
Apple Did the high school thing. That's where they got their devotees.

Yep. We used to get a lot of errors for out of volumes in a storage

calls I would point out that the data set had a very small primary and
secondary space value. I would go through all the extents on one

If you are only testing on Hercules and will continue to run

the SOFTWARE does check the hardware levels and you have to include a
particular configuration statement for a recent Z operating system to
