Interesting. On what z/OS and TSO version(s) did you made that nasty discovery? Or what did you tried to test out which caused this discovery? >Tactically, in the short term there are ways around this by storing the 64 bit >registers into memory for viewing or forcing dumps. Agreed, but that is 'clumsy/messy/dirty'. >Did IBM really drop the ball on this by stabilizing the TSO commands at what >is becoming an increasingly ancient level (non-64-bit)? Or have we missed >something? AFAIK, many things in TSO are stabilized. [1] Perhaps there is another version of TSO TEST with the same or similar name? In this OCO days, you can't even re-assemble your things... Now I have 64 nasty things instead of 32 things to say to that TSO TEST developers. :-D Groete / Greetings Elardus Engelbrecht [1] - which caused us to drop [slow] TRANSMIT / RECEIVE in favour of [faster] TCP/IP FTP. We know there is some sort of checkpointing in FTP, but we really miss the checkpointing feature of TSO TRANSMIT and that JES2 is kindly holding the data until everything is sent over. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
