Chris, What I find disturbing is your blind insistence that the use of USS has only one possible meaning, to the point of replying to a reference that was quite obviously about Unix System Services, but pretending that it was not. Then again, you are probably quite aware of what I meant, but

Jags, If you have an active HASCKPT dataset on your RES volume, then move it. Once that is done you can see if there are other problems. There is no question of whether a HASCKPT will cause performance problems, if JES2 is using it then it will cause problems. It does not belong there and needs

John, I think you'd be hard pressed to write a program in either C or PL/I that would even approach the I/O performance of DFSORT. In fact, I doubt it's possible. On Mon, Nov 21, 2011 at 6:13 PM, John Gilmore johnwgilmore0...@gmail.comwrote: I am not at all hostile to DFSORT, which I now

Rick, I don't think your method would work. If you suppress the record types that IEFACTRT is dependent on then it will not be called. If you want the exit to be called but not have the records recorded I think you would have to exclude them with IEFU8x. Scott On Thu, Nov 10, 2011 at 4:14 PM,

When you specify NOACTIVE, the system does not record any SMF data, therefor it does not call any exits related to those records. On Wed, Nov 9, 2011 at 6:30 PM, Dave Day david...@consolidated.net wrote: Is this supposed to work this way? I've just spent a bit of time in the Init Tuning
