The old version of Auto will still work under z/OS 3.1, but several parts will have issues and fst processors (no one has slow ones anymore) can sometimes end up skipping some stuff that should be processed.
Semi-marketing starts here.... That's why we rewrote it back in the late 90's to fix all of those things and to add a lot of new function that I never thought of back when Auto(OTTO) was written. The new version allows 2 or 4 digit years (so you can schedule things well in advance or only on certain years), IF processing, and hundreds of new features and runs on any processor or OS from MVT through z/OS 3,x. Although, it's no longer free, but is very inexpensive, and is updated frequently and has full problem support. We have over 300 sites using it. It's also part of our complete z/OS automation suite (SyzAUTO/z, SyzCMD/z, SyzMPF/z and SyzEmail/z) which provides more flexibility and control options than most vendors, but at about 5 to 10% of their cost. SyzEmail/z allows, without any JCL changes in any way to send email or SMS text messages from any job or task or because of any message or event to any number of users, containing any or all parts of sysout. https://syzygyinc.com/SyzAUTOz.htm ... end of semi-marketing Brian ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
