Way back when IBM first started putting dummy VTOCs on devices used by
VM and ACP, I pointed out that relying on a Format 5 DSCB that said
there was no space was not the correct way to do it. It needs an F1 DSCB
that allocates all available space instead. In those days, relying on

I take it, from previous posts, that no one has found the new manuals for DB2
7.5.
Well, this came as a surprise...
We took a log archive, of the inactive log (we do use alternate DB2 logs).
To my surprise, it was looking for DTF name ARILALT for the tape.
I had ARILARC defined in the ARIDBDB
I am a little confused in the difference between a SETS , for example and a
PUTS.
My question is really about speed of retrieval. Is it faster searching one
group with many variables or have a group for each variable with one variable
per group?
Thanks,
Mike

SETS updates the in-memory variable. PUTS does the same and also writes it to
the SESSION GLOBALV file.

As for the speed: I would bother too much. real gains can be made when
you avoid using PUTS or PUTP to set a variable to the value it already
has: disk I/O is costly.
As mentioned in my first response: with one table name it is possible
to set retrieve many variables at once, what is faster.
Greetings,
I am trying to create an associative array of some sort that will be
preserved across EXEC invocations. I thought the best way of doing this
is using the GLOBALV command.
I have a list of printers and their IP addresses. For example, printers

That's odd. I issue many SETS and the SESSION GLOBALV A file looks fine after.
From the book they both seem to append to this file.

Sorry Richard:
SET, SETL and PUT write in storage only
SETS, SETLS, PUTS write in storage and to SESSION GLOBALV
SETP, SETLP, PUTP write in storage and to LASTING GLOBALV
SET(L) takes the variable name and its contents from the GLOBALV parameters
PUT takes only the variable name(s) from the input
When using a single table, it is possible to set/get more than one
item in a single GLOBALV call (I don't know if that would be useful
for you).
GLOBALV SELECT PRT SETS A198.10.10.10 B198.10.10.11 C 198.10.10.12
Faster due to the general rule: ask as much as possible in one call,

I see that often as well. I don't know if it's my mail reader

Before trying to fix (if required) the packs of your new VM system,
use ICKDSK CPVOL FORMAT on a spare pack and see if FDR likes that
better. Because, I'd think that when the z/VM 5.3 disks were created
at IBM, the same ICKDSF was being used. I also suppose that the
