Hi list.
I have a question (probably rather picky) going from z/OS 1.4 to 1.7.
During testing of the 1.7 upgrade, I had an applications programmer run
a batch COBOL/IDMS job that created and cataloged a new non-SMS dataset.
The JCL is shown below - quite straightforward, and the dataset ends up
on a non-SMS pack as expected.
//AGCYPROD EXEC PGM=AGCYPROD,REGION=0K
//STEPLIB DD DSN=MVS.CN6.LOADLIB,DISP=SHR
// DD DSN=WSC.PROD.LOADLIB,DISP=SHR
// DD DSN=IDMS.PROD.LOADLIB,DISP=SHR
//SYSLST DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSCTL DD DSN=IDMS.SQL.SYSCTL,DISP=SHR
//SYSIDMS DD DSN=MVS.PROD.SKELETON(WSCPROD),DISP=SHR
//SYSOUT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSDBOUT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSUDUMP DD SYSOUT=D
//OUTPUT DD DSN=MVS.CN6.AGENCY7,
// DISP=(NEW,CATLG,DELETE),
// UNIT=SYSDA,
// DCB=(RECFM=FB,LRECL=110),
// SPACE=(CYL,(20,10),RLSE)
The question that I have is that once the dataset has been created under
1.7, looking at it under ISPF 3.4, it looks like this - notice the SMS
management class, etc:
Data Set Name . . . . : MVS.CN6.AGENCY7
General Data Current Allocation
Management class . . : **None** Allocated
cylinders : 2
Storage class . . . : **None** Allocated
extents . : 1
Volume serial . . . : WSC003
Device type . . . . : 3390
Data class . . . . . : **None** Current
Utilization
Organization . . . : PS Used cylinders
. . : 2
Record format . . . : FB Used extents .
. . : 1
Record length . . . : 110
Block size . . . . : 27940
1st extent cylinders: 2
Secondary cylinders : 10
Data set name type : SMS Compressible
: NO
Creation date . . . : 2008/03/26 Referenced date
. . : 2008/03/26
Expiration date . . : ***None***
When he runs the same JCL on a 1.4 system, the output from ISPF 3.4
looks like this - notice, no SMS information:
Data Set Name . . . : MVS.CN6.AGENCY7
General Data Current Allocation
Volume serial . . . : WSC001 Allocated
cylinders : 2
Device type . . . . : 3390 Allocated
extents . : 1
Organization . . . : PS
Record format . . . : FB
Record length . . . : 110
Block size . . . . : 27940 Current
Utilization
1st extent cylinders: 2 Used cylinders
. . : 2
Secondary cylinders : 10 Used extents .
. . : 1
Creation date . . . : 2008/03/25
Referenced date . . : 2008/03/25
Expiration date . . : ***None***
As a control test, I allocated the same dataset on the 1.7 system using
ISPF 3.2 and it showed up without the SMS lines in the ISPF output.
I tried unsuccessfully to find some documentation that would explain the
difference between the 1.4 and 1.7 system. Any ideas as to why the
dataset allocated with the batch JCL would show up differently under 1.7
versus 1.4?
Thanks.
