SYS IO is, I believe, the original name shipped for VIO. A lot of shops added the 'new' since that's what was in the instructional books.

After stating flatly that we do not support VIO, I ran a test and learned otherwise. For sure we do not support the esoteric name 'VIO'. In my previous shop IIRC it was implemented as 'SYSVIO'. I don't know why the name change, but I would guess it's to avoid canned jobs from gobbling up paging space, although nothing would prevent someone from changing 'VIO' to a supported name. I see this in my test job, which seems to indicate that the data set really went to VIO: IGD101I SMS ALLOCATED TO DDNAME (ALLOCVIO) DSN (SYS16127.T095147.RA000.ALLOCVIO.R0108161 ) STORCLAS (STANDARD) MGMTCLAS ( ) DATACLAS (STANDARD) VOL SER NOS= VIO . . .

Could you even count on the same esoteric name's existing even in all shops supporting VIO? I sometimes distribute JCL using a JCL symbol for VIO. -- gil ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
