Hi Glenn, Could you clarify the difference between CDA and GDKUTIL please. I understand you use GDK like PGM=GDK... in a JCL step. Is CDA something you use from a programming language, COBOL/REXX, etc. ?
Is it fair to say that GDKUTIL helps to try out object store capabilities (by also sending a copy there), and then CDA for when you want to switch entirely?
