Re: IND$FILE question
Ed, There were separate products released for MVS, VM, and VSE. All were released in 1983. On MVS, the product number was 5665-311, and the FMID was HFX1112. John P.

Re: IEFU83, IEFU84 and IEFU85
I.o.w.: check that site's SMFPRMxx I hope someone is reading this on a Sunday ... Please have patience with me. I'm a developer not a sysprog and I know many things but I am not (yet!) an SMF exit expert. I didn't write the code in question. I'm trying to figure out the right question to ask a customer. I've spent a lot of time reading SMFPRMxx, PROGxx, and EXITxx documentation. If an IEFU83 exit is to be added via CSVDYNEX REQUEST=ADD, what has to exist or not exist in SMFPRMxx, PROGxx, and EXITxx in order for the exit to be invoked? (Please for now assume that the CSVDYNEX and the exit itself are valid, and that SMF is configured to write Type 80 records.) I'm trying to understand the statement EXITS specifies which SMF exits are to be invoked. A maximum of 15 exits is allowed; if an exit is not specified, it is not invoked. If this parameter is not specified, SMF behaves as if this parameter is specified with all 15 exits listed here and all SMF system exits are invoked. How do you specify that an exit is to be invoked if the name is not known at IPL time? If a customer were not currently using U83 but had an SMFPRMxx member that specified other exits and not U83, what change would the customer have to make in order for the CSVDYNEX ADD to be effective and have the added exit module invoked?

Detecting when a READ/GET crosses a concatenation boundary
Hello; I wish to detect when a BSAM read or QSAM GET crosses a concatenation boundary. I am guessing I need to code an OPEN and EOV DCB exit to get control. The input data sets can reside on DASD or TAPE, but, the environment does not mix unlike devices...all one way or the other. Purpose: Be able to the extract the dsn actively being processed. Environment has specifc dsn naming conventions that tie back to a cycle number and the generating jobstream. Any assistance/tips would be greatly appreciated.

Purpose: Be able to the extract the dsn actively being processed. Environment has specifc dsn naming conventions that tie back to a cycle number and the generating jobstream. Any assistance/tips would be greatly appreciated. SNIP DFSMS Using Data Sets gives some tips in this area. Look at the area covering Concatenating Data Sets Sequentially. The OPEN exit is driven for each data set in the concat as the Access Method switches to it. So from this, you should be able to get the DSN. And the Label exits get driven as well. Take a look at Using Non-VSAM User-Written Exit Routines with the specifics of Open/Close/EOV Standard User Label Exit. So you are on the right track. Beware of mixed mode (24/31 bit addressing), it can get you really lost when trying to diagnose a problem. Also, look out for LBI -- you have said something about tapes. They can be in LARGE BLOCK (32K) and certain things may be different for the exits (I can't remember exactly how that works -- I get to diagnose problems with our code from time to time).

Re: IEFU29 - Intermittently does not get control
It seems unlikely that the system is failing to call the exit routines in the circumstances in which it is documented to do so. Have you tried putting a SLIP trap wherever the call is initiated to confirm that your expectation of calling the exit matches the reality? Are you certain that your IEFU29 is defined properly? There is not one single IEFU29 exit. There is, for example, SYS.IEFU29 and SYSSTC.IEFU29 etc. Doing various DISPLAY PROG,EXIT's can make sure that you have all of the IEFU29's defined that you want and that your exit routine is associated properly with each. You might even try using a name other than IEFU29 (there is no need to use the name IEFU29 for your exit routine) with appropriate EXIT ADD statements in PROGxx.

One potential GOTCHA - The EOV exit will be driven not only when you reach the end of a file and switch to the next file in the concatenation but ALSO during a volume switch of a multi-volume sequential dataset. Thus you need to check for this to avoid false positives if all you care about is switching to a new dataset as opposed to also being signaled about a new volume of the current dataset. -- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@bama.ua.edu with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
