---- The reply from Jon: Kind Regards, Sarel Swanepoel -----Original Message----- From: Veilleux, Jon L [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 11 July 2007 01:53 PM To: Mohan Hansjee Cc: Sarel Swanepoel Subject: RE: Deleted PDS I think that you have a problem with the track address due to this being a 3390-9. According to the z/OS 1.7 JCL manual the track address must be 65535 or less. They don't seem to have updated the code to accept larger DASD sizes. This seems like an oversight by IBM. I have a contact in IBM SMS development. I will see if they have any suggestions. In the mean time you might try the IBM-MAIN list again. Someone there might have a suggestion. address Specifies the track number of the first track to be allocated. Count the first track of the first cylinder on the volume as 0. Count through the tracks on each cylinder until you reach the track on which you want the data set to start. The absolute track address must be a decimal number equal to or less than 65535. I will let you know what I hear from IBM. Jon L.

I dumped the full volume using the tracks option and restored it on an empty volume on our test system. I located the PDS at location ** TRACK(CCHH) 1A580000 R0 DATA 0000000000000000 COUNT 1A580000010005A0 0000 6CD385A3 40E2A8A2 7EE5C1E3 5E404040 40404040 40404040 40404040 40404040 0020 40404040 40404040 40404040 40404040 40404040 40404040 40404040 40404040 0040 TO 009F SAME AS ABOVE When I calculated the track address as 101160 (X'1A58' = 6744 * 15 tracks). When I used this as the track address I am getting a JCL error. 1 //FASYS03I JOB (DBI,SYS1),MOE,CLASS=S,MSGCLASS=T,NOTIFY=&SYSUID //* TYPRUN=HOLD IEFC653I SUBSTITUTION JCL - (DBI,SYS1),MOE,CLASS=S,MSGCLASS=T,NOTIFY=F 2 //STEP1 EXEC PGM=IEFBR14 3 //DD1IN DD DSN=FASYS03.SAS.DQ.SOURCLIB, // DISP=(NEW,CATLG), // VOL=SER=SA8F2C,LRECL=80,BLKSIZE=27920,RECFM=FB,UNIT=3390, // SPACE=(ABSTR,(100,101160,20)) STMT NO. MESSAGE 3 IEF642I EXCESSIVE PARAMETER LENGTH IN THE SPACE FIELD The data is on a 3390-9. Would this be a problem? I am also confused with what I checked in the JCL manual. The manual says that the primary space allocation is in tracks and not cylinders as you showed in your example that you sent Sarel. I would appreciate it if you assist me with this.
