Hello Bob,
That's IEBUPDTE SYSIN format.
Go ahead and read the fine documentation in DFSMS Utilities, but the quick
info is that this is SYSIN, SYSUT2 points to your output PDS, and use
PARM=NEW on the EXEC card. (No need for SYSUT1 in this case).
Oh, in case anyone is wondering...my gaffe of
-file. However, there are times
when /* will appear in column 1 (think JES2 JECL or no-longer-required

Personally, I prefer the DSN= on the SYSIN DD card.

You will get 97 no matter how you open the file. The 97 indicates that an
implicit VERIFY was performed and was successful. You'll get a different
FILE STATUS value if the file was damaged and cannot be opened (probably 90
or one of the 3x values).

Been there, done that, works very nicely, actually.
I wrote the code 11+ years ago, it's had only one fix since then.
Hit me up off-list if you want more info.

enterprise systems, in the context of IBM mainframes. (Whether
this means z/Linux or z/OS USS (not to be confused with VTAM USS :-P ) was
not clear.)
So maybe our message is slowly getting out there to the folks with the
blinders.
Now if "we" can just make Java run better on z/Architec
I saw it somewhere listed (I don't think it was Amazon) for the absolutely
ridiculous price of over $1400. Yes, that's 4 digits to the left of the
decimal point.

I'll see your combination and raise you z/VSE, z/TPF, BS2000/OSD, MPE, VMS,
OS2200, MCP, BeOS, PRIMOS (long gone, late, lamented) and GCOS 7/8. Oh, and
if I absolutely have to, Windows. :-P

You are correct in both points below, although if the data set is
multivolume you've got a lot of extra work.
But if you have $15K lying around (at least back in the late 1990's), there
is the DFSMS Advanced Customization guide, which describes the VVAS service
and GETATTR service of FAMS. GETATT
That's just...well...I have so many words that just to pick a few would
slight the others.

ISPF 3.2 uses the FAMS GETATTR service. How it's calculated? Couldn't tell

I can't quantify, but I can supply empirical evidence.
In my last job we brought up DB2 V8 under z/OS 1.4 (running in 64-bit mode)
and it was really slow compared to V7.
The reason is pretty simple - the FLEX emulation has to perform over twice
as many instructions to simulate a 64-bit operatio
It's not obviously documented.
Edit the .WS file with your favorite text editor, find ScreenSize=24x80 (or
whatever), and edit it to your choice (I have ScreenSize=62x160).
