Re: Tool that will help to access the Teradata tables from the mainframe job
Rajeev, I think we'll need a little more information to answer your question well. What sort of mainframe job is it? Let's start with programming language if you know. (Do you have the source code, or is it code somebody else supplied?) Also, where's it running? Is it a batch job, or a CICS program, or an IMS program, or a DB2 stored procedure, or something else? What operating system? (I guess a lot of people assume z/OS, but it could be any of at least four others.) And how much data do you think you'll access? How often? Will you only be reading it, or will you also be updating? And do you need live data access or would a copy suffice? Any particular security requirements, or is this an open database and it doesn't matter? Do you have any particular preferences we should know about? I'll assume lowest (full) cost is one. :-) There are a lot of options, but knowing those parameters should help narrow down the range of choices. - - - - - Timothy Sipples IBM Consulting Enterprise Software Architect Specializing in Software Architectures Related to System z Based in Tokyo, Serving IBM Japan and IBM Asia-Pacific E-Mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html

Re: TSO ALLOC concat using VOLSER?
The BPXWDYN function, available in REXX, allows you to concatenate a list of
ddnames.
e.g.
call bpxwdyn concat ddlist(somedd,dd1,dd2) msg(2)
would concat dd1 and dd2 to somedd.

It's not possible with ALLOCATE by itself. But you can ALLOCATE an

one of the CONCAT commands floating around to concatenate them
together (see http://www.cbttape.org).

datasets. It's probably an SMS thing.
The only thing I would have done differently to your
test, Mark, would have been to remove the ddname
(@NOTCAT) from the first ALLOC command. I'm
wondering if the use of a specific ddname makes it
unavailable to satisfy the second ALLOC request.
Speaking of SMS, I also wonder if the several criteria
that determine the eligibility of an existing allocation
to satisfy a subsequent request have changed as a
result of SMS.
Or, maybe I imagined tho whole thing?

Hi, Can anyone please suggest the method to invoke the LE diagnostic and dump facility at run time. My installation has Abend-Aid installed which by default produces its own dump and also can be turned off at run time. But I am looking to turn on CEEDUMP at runtime which I find more easy for abend resolution.

Re: FTP question
My first stop would be to better understand the upload (sever to MF) process. From your description, the MF is just a repository. It has no idea what is in the files. In other words, server 'a' is FTP'ing to the MF with instructions to stow data in X.Y.Z(+1). I would ask why server 'a' is sometimes storing data in server 'b' files. I would also look into making it impossible for server 'a' to access server 'b' files via MF security. -Original Message- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Mike Liberatore Sent: Thursday, February 28, 2008 6:05 AM To: IBM-MAIN@BAMA.UA.EDU Subject: FTP question I have several Open systems servers each running windows 2003. having unique IP addresses and each running their own scripts to capture data. This data is then being sent via ftp and stored on mainframe lpar as GDGs. Each file being sent to the mainframe is unique and is being stored in their own GDGs. However in some cases data from Server A is being stored into Server Bs GDG on the mainframe and vice versa. Doesn't happen consistently. Any idea as to how data from one Server A can be getting stored on Server Bs files? Again, each Sever has it's own IP address and its on Mainframe GDG data sets. Thanks in advance!!

VSAM VERIFY ACTION=REFRESH
When you have a VSAM KSDS opened for output by two address spaces on the same image, and one of the address spaces writes enough records to force the adding of an additional volume, when the VERIFY ACTION=REFRESH is done by the second address space, then the second address space will see the updated catalog entry. However, when this same scenario is performed with the two address spaces being on separate images, the second address never sees the catalog update when doing the VERIFY ACTION=REFRESH. What does it take to allow the VERIFY ACTION=REFRESH to be seen on a file shared across systems?

COBOL Revision (aka faster than a speedy turtle)
I have already sent this information to comp.lang.cobol and to the SHARE LNGC project, but I thought there MIGHT be some within IBM-MAIN who would also be interested (and interested enough to actually do something about this). William M. Klein [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote in message news:[EMAIL PROTECTED]... I just received the following note. Please act on it (or ignore it) as you see best, *** To: ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 22/WG 4, Programming language COBOL INCITS/J4, Technical Committee COBOL COBOL working draft 1.10, in zipped PDF format, is available for download from the WG4 website: http://www.cobolstandard.info/wg4/document.html (WD 1.10). I will send this document to SC22 for concurrent Committee Draft (CD) registration and CD ballot. I decided not to hold up the concurrent CD registration and CD ballot for resolution of certain details; you can see these in Annex G, Open Issues. Please send comments on these issues, along with any other comments. Anyone can send comments directly to INCITS/J4 ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) for consideration in development of the U.S. position on the CD ballot. You should also send your comments to your national body for development of your country's position. This is the first committee draft, which is usually considered to be a rough draft. Comments on the overall feature content as well as comments on specification details will be helpful. The next planned ballot is a Final CD ballot, for which the document should be in tip-top shape (though changes can still be made). Your input will help us make it that way. I'll notify you when I know the ballot closing date. Your national body will have an earlier closing date. The ballot starting date will be a bit later than shown in the draft revision schedule at http://www.cobolstandard.info/j4/files/07-0183.doc , but the overall schedule should not change drastically because the ballot period will be 3 months rather than the projected 4 months. Any comments to INCITS/J4 ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) by the March 10-14, 2008, J4 meeting in Ontario, CA, will be greatly appreciated. -- Bill Klein wmklein at ix.netcom.com -- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html

Re: z/OS 1.9 and TSSO
I answered you last time, but maybe you missed it. You have to download the file from the CBT UPDATES page, not the regular CBT tape page because they are different. The UPDATES page contains the fixes that you need. If you have any problems, please contact me offline and I'll help you get the file.

Re: ATL drive allocation problem.

Anyway, one problem that we had was that we could only get 8 of the 16 ATL drives to become allocated. Note that all 16 drives would successfully come on line! It is just that when drives 0-7 were allocated, with drives 8-16 being unallocated and online, a job which needed the 9th drive would wait with the message: IEF289E JOBNAME STEPNAME WAITING FOR VOLUME(S) OR UNIT(S) Hi John, I hope you are feeling better after your recovery. Here are a few more ideas. It's a good idea to understand how many CU's are really there. I think it's common to connect only 4 (real) IBM drives to a CU. Did you happen to enter library status commands such as: LI DD,libname CBR1220I Tape drive status: D SMS,LIBRARY(libname),DETAIL CBR1110I OAM library status: I know you set everything up correctly, but I would still issue those commands to see that the drives are not just online but are also SMS-managed.

Re: ATL drive allocation problem.
Hi John, One other thing I assume you've ruled out is the possibility that some drives were stolen by another system via autoswitching. I've seen that happen when only a subset of drives is defined as auto-switchable.
