It has been 8-9 years since my last ServerPac install. (sounds like the opening
line the person speaks when sharing at an AA meeting, doesn't it. At least
that's how TV portrays it).
I'm working on the Modify System Layout section and I have been requested to
make all PDSs into PDSEs. Now I know that there are exemptions to this
(SYS1.LPALIB, etc). Does anyone have a complete list of datasets that you
shouldn't convert to PDSEs? My list shows 943 PDS datasets total, regardless of
eligibility.
You can safely change all PDS to PDSE using mass change commands. Yes,
there are exceptions, but IBM wisely marked them as unable to be PDSE
and not eligible for change.
Examples are irrelevant, but just for curiosity:
SYS1.IPLPARM
SYS1.PARMLIB (and other PARMLIBs)
SYS1.PROCLIB (and other)
SYS1.NUCLEUS
SYS1.LPALIST (and other LPALSTxx)
SYS1.LINKLIB (note: there is PDSE add-on named SIEALNKE and this has to
be PDSE)
...
BTW: almost every dataset can be renamed and the list of exceptions is
much shorter than the above.
