The same message is in the CICS TS v3.1 manual - "CICS does not support ESDS data sets that are defined with these extended attributes." The level of z/OS will not matter.
Your solution will have to be based on what the application can tolerate, I'd guess. Convert to KSDS? DB2 table? Greg Shirey Ben E. Keith Company -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Eduardo Toledo <snip> However we got the DFHFC0966, codes 8504, 0008,0068 when we attempted to open that data set which was defined with the extended attribute, and so, the open failed. At the CICS Application Programming Guide, we've found a note telling us almost exactly this. So, if we understand that this data set has to be greater then 4GB, and knowing that CICS does not support ESDS data sets that are defined with these extended attributes, do we have to go to a CICS TS 3.x, or do we have to go to a z/OS 1.5, or what?. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
