Hi Lizette,
Oiyoiyoi .. I meant DSNUTILB and DSNUPROC .. so sorry:-((.
I sort of imagined that all the CICS and DB2 folk were here so didn't
bother with CICS and DB2 groups. I do have a newsgroup list but it would
have been interesting to see what other mainframe groups are useful
except I couldn't read yours with Notepad or SPFPC60:-(.
Yesterday I got my first CICS transaction working on Dallas's z/OS
CICSTS42. It's accesses a VSAM KSDS file (built via IDCAMS). My next
transaction is similiar but will access a DB2 table. Via reading it
seems there are a) and b) preparatory one time steps to perform:
a) create a stogroup
b) create a database within the stogroup
c) thereafter my software will add small tables to the database to be
accessed by my CICS pgms.
Thus the questions about using DSNUTILB or DSNUPROC for at least a) and
b) above and which is best? .. and hopefully c).
I have plunged in with both and failed miserably. My JCL knowledge used
to be strong for batch prod jobstreams but dealing with these
'specialities' ten years later is a struggle. My baby start JCL is:
//AU1 JOB (CONRAD),'GH', etc
//* STOGROUP CREATE
//DSNUPROC EXEC PGM=DSNUPROC,REGION=0M
//STEPLIB DD DISP=SHR,DSN=DSNA10.PROCLIB
//SYSIN DD *
CREATE STOGROUP CHELGRP
VOLUME VPWRKD
VCAT CHELCAT
//
.. delivering ..
IEW4007I FIND FOR MODULE DSNUPROC FAILED BECAUSE DIRECTORY ENTRY IS NOT
VALID FOR A LOAD MODULE.
CSV003I REQUESTED MODULE DSNUPROC NOT FOUND
CSV028I ABEND806-04 JOBNAME=AU1 STEPNAME=DSNUPROC
.. checked IEW4007I but both the steplib and proc exist .. yuk.
Next, with the same JCL, will be
CREATE DATABASE CHELBAS1
STOGROUP CHELGRP
CCSID EBCDIC
Thanks for the quick answer!

Graham,
I am a little confused.
Typically DFH is CICS functions, and a STOGROUP is either DB2 or DFSMS.
So what are you trying to do? If you could post the complete Batch Job that
will help.
Lizette
PS. Yes there is a DB2 newsgroup and a CICS newsgroup which already have
this in their archives.

Subject: DFHUTILB and DFHUPROC
Wisdom sought please! I have tried to build a stogroup via batch job.
CREATE STOGROUP CHELGRP
VOLUME VPWRKD
VCAT CHELCAT
Seems DFHUPROC and DFHUTILB are options. Is one more common than the other?
Is it that the first calls the second (amongst others)?
Cheers,
Graham Hobbs
P.S. Secretly am looking for JCL that bl..dy works:-):-[
