Subject: Another fine mess ...
I own a piece of Assembler batch code that reads a parm member of a
system library managed by Endeavor. This piece of code runs many times a
day on all (10) production plexes.
The FINE Endeavor folks have chosen to compress the library on each plex
around 5 am each day. The collisions do not, unfortunately, cause an
abend. The program "reads" the member and finds garbage, causing it to
fail in its task, returning the wrong return code.
I am wondering if I attempt to validate the parm, and finding "garbage",
what are the conditions under which I can get the correct information?
If I wait say 10-20 seconds, do I have to close and reopen the file
before reissuing the FIND macro for the member? Are there any other
gotchas lurking in the shadows?
All lpars appear to be zOS 1.4.
