Suppose I have two identical DSNs on different volumes. One is catalogued; the other not. (Does SMS allow that nowadays?)
In a job step I allocate DD DISP=(SHR,PASS),VOL=SER=<uncatalogued>... In a subsequent step, I allocate by DSN with no explicit volume informarion. Which one wins, the passed or the catalogued? Where is this clearly documented? I don't see t in <https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/zos/3.1.0?topic=parameter-passing-data-set> How would a novice suss this out without a priori knowledge? What would ChatGPT say? -- gil ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
