That ALLOC feels like a CMS FILEDEF: FILEDEF ddname TERMINAL ...is perfectly valid there. More AI slop.
-----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List <[email protected]> On Behalf Of Charles Mills Sent: Thursday, August 28, 2025 12:55 PM To: [email protected] Subject: BPXWDYN allocate terminal? Equivalent of ALLOC DA(*) Is there a BPXWDYN function to allocate a DD to the TSO user's current terminal? The equivalent of TSO ALLOC DA(*)? I don't get any hits on <terminal> or <tso> in the BPXWDYN documentation but I think of BPXWDYN being a superset of ALLOC. Why not just use ALLOC? I'd like to use a generated RTDDN, rather than a hard-coded DD name. Charles P.S. I don't want this thread to digress into an AI rant but I did find it amusing that Google AI (apparently?) hallucinates a "TERMINAL" keyword for BPXWDYN and suggests /* Allocate the terminal as a temporary input data set */ call bpxwdyn "alloc fi(sysin) terminal" ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
