Is there a 64encode EXEC (not pipe stage) hanging around anywhere, or do I need to write my own? Thanks, Shimon

Ummm... gulp... because it needs to run on the OtherSystem. (Please don't tell me that pipes are available there too. We spent months trying to verify that claim and it just wasn't possible, except as a special bid or something like that, at what was considered here a totally insane price). So,

Depends on what Other System you mean, exactly. There is Pipelines for MVS (TSO), but I am guessing that YOU of all people KNOW that. So are you talking about Unix/Linux? or maybe Windows? You could extract the logic from 64ENCODE REXX and make REXX from it. -- R; On Mon, Dec 27, 2010

Just closing the loop on this thread... I did open a Sev 3 (should have been Sev 4) PMR for this issue on November 20, 2010, pasting pretty much the same text as posted earler to justify the W-level (Warning) message type on this mesesage. The PMR response was received today, December 27,

Which begs the question, what are the criteria for determining the level of a message? I would think that something that could cause potentially serious system problems, like getting an incorrect CP OWNED volume, would warrant an E. On the other hand, if the duplicated volser is for a volume

I suspect the developer is being somewhat influenced by the z/OS convention which simply warns you. But, at the same time, it halts the IPL and also gives you the option to select the appropriate duplicate. z/VM does not have the select option so if IBM insists on retaining the W class for

A dupkucate volser is not always an error, it can be, the system doesn't know. So a W is right. Better would indeed be an A, and have the operator decide what to do. 2010/12/27 George Henke/NYLIC george_he...@newyorklife.com I suspect the developer is being somewhat influenced by the z/OS
