Things to check: When you use IPCS, the dialog components are located in data sets SYS1.SBLS* which are located on your sysres volume. Make sure you're using the version of IPCS which came with z/OS 1.6. An easy way to do this is to go into IPCS, and type command ISRDDN on the command line. Scroll down the list of data sets and make sure that all SYS1.SBLS... data sets are coming from the volser which is your sysres for z/OS 1.6.
Also, IPCS must have the correct IPCSPARM data in order to operate correctly. On your z/OS 1.6 sysres volume, you should find a data set named SYS1.IBM.PARMLIB (or whatever your sysprog decided to call it) which contains all the IPCS formatters for that version of the operating system. If you try to use IPCS and it's picking up formatters from an older operating system, you will find that some functions might possibly work (representing functions which didn't change) but many won't. Here's a quote from the z/OS Init and Tuning Reference manual which describes this in more detail: 7.0 Chapter 7. BLSCECT (Formatting exits for dump and trace analysis) The BLSCECT member specifies, through embedded parmlib members, the names of IBM-supplied exit routines. The routines analyze and format dump and trace data. While analyzing a dump or trace, you can enter interactive problem control system (IPCS) subcommands to run the routines. IPCS accesses the BLSCECT parmlib member through the IPCSPARM DD statement. If you allocate FILE(IPCSPARM), IPCS uses this data set for BLSCECT and the embedded parmlib members. If IPCSPARM is not allocated and IPCS is running on a level of OS/390 [z/OS] that supports parmlib concatenation OS/390 R2 or later), the current concatenation is allocated, used, and then freed. If IPCS is running on a level of OS/390 [z/OS] that does not support parmlib concatenation (pre-OS/390 R2), SYS1.PARMLIB contains BLSCECT and all parmlib members embedded in BLSCECT. See PARMLIB in topic 58.9 for information on parmlib concatenation. On Mon, 27 Jun 2005 09:41:45 -0500, Mark <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >We've installed z/OS 1.6.
