All, This may be a dumb question, but has anyone ever heard of or thought of externalizing the PARMLIB concatenation service? What I mean is it would be nice to have something like(an example):
//TMSINIT PROC NSM=&TMONSMXX., // OPT=&TMOOPTXX., // SCR=&TMOSCRXX. //TMSINIT EXEC PGM=TMSINIT, // PARM='NSM=TMONSM00,OPT=TMOOPT,SCR=TMOSCR00' //TMSRPT DD SYSOUT=* //TMSOPTNS DD DSN=SYS1.PARMLIB(TMSOPTNS), // DISP=SHR,SUBSYS=PARM <<<<----forces this DD statement to search PARMLIB concatenation //TEMPAUDT DD UNIT=DISK, // DCB=BLKSIZE=9600, // SPACE=(23476,(60,60)) //TMSPARM DD DUMMY,DISP=SHR,SUBSYS=PARM <<<<----forces this DD statement to search PARMLIB concatenation It would make life so much easier for non-operating system products whos parms you want to keep in some common dataset and treat much the same way as SYS1.PARMLIB. A concatenation like in LOADxx: . . . PARMLIB SYS1.PARMLIB PARMLIB SYS1.IBM.PARMLIB PARMLIB SYS1.OEM.PARMLIB IEASYM (S1,LP) SYSPARM 00 : . . . . Maybe its not possible, I dunno. ________________________________________________________ Dave Jousma Principal Systems Programmer [EMAIL PROTECTED] 616.653.8429 This e-mail transmission contains information that is confidential and may be privileged.
