Negative Add Sort Help

brain freezing on how to turn them negative first. There should always be a match for a file 2 dataset name in file 1, but there might not be a match the other way. I'm heading to the sort manual now, but in a time crunch and so thought someone here might know quick. Suggestions? Thanks. Jeffrey

A small almost got-me... more than one representation for positive in that last nibble... C, along with F, and I see from my lookup that it could have also been A or E. Anyone know why there is a difference? I'm switching them all to D for my subtraction. Jeffrey Deaver, Engineer Systems

Re: Tape Retention - Permanent

2006-11-27 Thread Jeffrey Deaver
I would like to keep some tapes for ever - permanently. Prior to the Y2K era, I used the parm :RETPD=99365. Is this still applicable? RETPD=99365 sounds like a CA-Disk parameter, is that what you are using to backup the data? Otherwise, what utility are you using to create the data? Jeffrey
