Well - I'm a staunch IBM employee myself, though I try to remain neutral in

Hi Scott,
Yes, I agree. This goes against years of IBM tradition and history of
IBM employees sharing sample code with the user community to highlight a
new function/feature of an operating system or application. I look at

That does seem odd.. I would think it would be supplied named as EXEC in
that case.. I agree it implies a 'sample' when named SAMPEXEC .. which
is only useful when the 'sample' is human readable so you can see what a
good sample looks like ;-)
Inconsistent to say the least, but I'm not aware
Do not assume that normal defaults are in effect. I am an abnormal sort.
This is not a normal XEDIT session. Items are being displayed in XEDIT

Hi Simon,
We did exactly what you describe when we moved from z/VM 4.4 to z/VM
5.2 - backed up the spool with SPXTAPE on the 4.4 system, brought up
the z/VM 5.2 system with new spool volumes, and restored the 4.4
SPXTAPE under 5.2. No problems.

Now, I am trying to see how to *prevent* the problem.

When I left in RESANY GLOBAL the two systems still seem to
interact, even if I have LOCAL in the DMSPARMS file.

Hi, Simon.
I think that spool files dumped to tape from z/VM V4 SPXTAPE should be restorable by z/VM

But I would do a little test first, if I could, just to make sure.
Have a good one.

For my two cents I have never used the quick guide. I read through it, but
always open the book. Just a comfort factor I guess. I do agree though that
seperating 1st and 2nd level instructions is a much better approach that
skipping sections. Maybe a flowchart approach might be a good idea.
