Hi Folks,

If you ever wondered what happened to the wonderful PACKRAT fullscreen TSO command which scratches datasets on a DASD pack, the answer is that it stopped working in the transition from OS/390 2.10 to z/OS 1.1. However, it has now been fixed for z/OS. (I have one of my favorite tools back!) The new code is on File 046 of the Updates page of www.cbttape.org. You're all welcome to it.

Try it--you'll like it. (For sysprogs only, unless you limit authority of what datasets can be scratched. See the notes in the file.)

The PACKRAT program does fullscreen TSO i/o. It can operate in TSO READY mode and does not need ISPF.

   I'm happy to make this announcement.  I hope you'll be happy too.

   All the best to y'all.....

Sam
