Brian,
I used Panvalet extensively from 1976 to 1982, including the Panvalet
Access method. It is disappointing that PAM is now an extra-cost feature.
I looked over the code in CBT148. It appears that the code is simply
setting up the ISPF user to run the Panvalet batch programs inside TSO.
The validation for the record format of the Panvalet library being DA is
just a reasonableness check to make sure the user is not pointing to a
dataset that is not a Panvalet library. It should not be a major issue that
sometime over the years that the Panvalet development staff chose to change
the DSORG from DA to SD.
I would recommend removing the 8 sections of validation code in FILE002
that look like this:
IF &SYSDSORG NE DA THEN /* Oh, not direct access! */+
DO /* */
SET ZEDSMSG = &STR(NOT DIRECT ACCESS) /* */
SET ZEDLMSG = &STR('&PDS2' IS '&SYSDSORG' -- PANVALET LIBRARIES +
ARE DIRECT ACCESS) /* */
ISPEXEC SETMSG MSG(ISRZ001) /* Display error message. */
GOTO TOP /* Re-enter. */
END /* */
and see how far you can get before running into further problems.
It is certainly possible that the output from PAN#2 could have changed
over the years and that may need minor code modifications.
