Then there's UADS, or there's no prefix setting (defaulting then to the userid). But in my experience, people that use TSO have TSO segments. Sure, I'm sure there are places that don't have them... Ray -Original Message- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]

ESCON to FICON conversion

Dear Friends, I am looking to scope out a possible conversion from ESCON to FICON on a Shark I manage. There are currently 4 ESCON channels EMIFed to 4 LPARs on one CPU. If this were to converted to FICON channels, approximately how many would I need? With only one CPU in the complex, can I

I think there's ALWAYS a prefix setting. It just starts out as (defaults to) userid until changed to something else. And yes, there are places that still use UADS. If you do use UADS in your particular cave dwelling, you see the prefix when you LIST the userid: USER PROFILE TABLE:

Dropping duplicates.

Actually I thought of a much better way to do this with DFSORT's ICETOOL given that you say all of the duplicates are grouped together. This version only requires one copy pass rather than two sort passes. //S1EXEC PGM=ICETOOL //TOOLMSG DD SYSOUT=* //DFSMSG DD SYSOUT=* //IN DD * 01
