RELEASE UNUSED SPACE FROM DSNS
G'Day, I am in the throes of performing a major clean up of dsns which have large amounts of space (at times from 200 to 1,300 cylinders). Some of these dsns are empty !!! I looked at using DFDSS however since these dsns are on several volumes and storage groups I would need to code each volser because the RELEASE parm needs the DYNAM(volser). Is there anything else I could use or if I use DFDSS how can I avoid having to code all the volsers. Also, I noticed that DFDSS will not release the space of an empty dsn. It returns a : ADR327W (001)-VTBL0(01), NO DATA SETS PROCESSED FROM VOLUME PRODS1 Thanks for your help in advance. -- 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

Re: IEFU85 question
No. IEFU85 is invoked for cross-memory callers and the caller may well be holding locks. I would guess that very few (if any) z/OS Unix callable services are valid in cross-memory mode and none of them would be valid when caller has locks held. IMHO - it is never wise to do anything clever in IEFU83/84/85 - just save the SMF data that you are interested in a queue or list somewhere where a server subtask can pick it up asynchronously.

But, take note that this backward compatibility does not always exist. It seems that about every ten years or so as tape technology advances IBM decides to raise the block size written by dfdss, first to 64KiB, relatively recently to 256KiB. Be sure to pay attention when this is mentioned in migration notes, because it invariably means that new dump tapes CANNOT be read by back-level versions of dfdss, and you might not have complete control over or knowledge of the update level of dfdss at a recovery site. Although we never had to work around a dfdss failure, our DR tape set always included our current version of stand-alone dfdss, just in case - so we knew we could always restore our emergency restore system (at same software level as production) and didn't have to constantly remember to verify DR site dfdss compatibility that only rarely would be an issue. -- Joel C.

Re: IEFU85 question
Personally, I wouldn't even try, even if possible (which I doubt). I'd use the IEFU8x exits to copy the information into a global dataspace (or ECSA area, but I prefer a global dataspace for VSCR reasons). The exit would post an ECB in ECSA. This would wake up a started task (aka daemon) which would process the data. That's a very high level overview.

Re: Terminology RE: USS
I never knew how to call this sign correctly:
in Germany, it's simply called: und (that's: and)
or Kaufmanns und, that is, merchant's and.
Almost nobody here knows what an ampersand is.
But some day one of my co-workers called it Brezel -
you know, what a brezel is? Look here:

This is very descriptive, IMO, so I now prefer to call it brezel,
which is kind of accepted in the community here :-)

Website rewrite to HTML5
'sfunny how things go 'round. In September I was unhappy with my ISP and I asked for advice on alternatives. Which I got, and I'm now down to two contenders. (Thanks to those who passed on suggestions and personal experiences.) But, before I actually move my website, I decided it was time for a major overhaul: I originally began by using MicroSoft Front Page, and it worked for getting my site up pretty quickly. But as I've learned more about HTML, I started looking at the generated pages from Front Page and I was pretty appalled: really ugly. And if I used the Front Page editor to make changes, when I saved the changed page Front Page would revert to its style. At the same time I've started to explore HTML5, which, while not yet a standard, seems destined to be the preferred markup for the web. Many browsers support most of the features already, and the direction the RFC is taking looks to be really nice. So I've just done a major overhaul of our website: used Notepad (and my colleague Hunter Cobb helped, using Notepad++) to rewrite over 350 pages in HTML5 with no Front Page garbage and my preferred style of indentation and markup. This also gave us a chance to change some styles, improve some layouts, fix broken links, rewrite some of the prose, and so on. Fun. Most of these changes have been moved to my current site location for testing. All re-written pages have been validated using the W3C's HTML validation tool (pretty cool: http://validator.w3.org/#validate_by_upload ) and most have been checked using five different browsers. But I have not been able to check the pages on small monitors, monitors with different resolutions, and on older browsers. Just too much. So here's my point: if you have the time and inclination, I would appreciate any feedback / problems with our website. Just get to http://www.trainersfriend.com and poke around. Let us know of any problems: * Links that don't work * Layout that doesn't look right on your system (tell us your browser name and version, and screen size and resolution) * Typos * Badly written prose We'll also be happy to hear any suggestions for improvements. Probably best if you reply directly to me, off list, which is why I set the reply-to back to me instead of to the list.

Re: USS
Perhaps Ted MacNEIL knows more Greek than we suppose, and he was subtly implying that TLA is an un-acronym, or a NOT-acronym, since that is what the Greek prefix an- means. Or maybe he meant that TLA's antecedent TLA, which shall remain unspecified, is not an acronym any more. Since most any given phrase can be acronymed, then, in fairness, any given acronym could be unacronymed if it becomes too controversial.

Re: Help on Rexx Code.
I have a couple processes that do this and they in general do this; 1. Allocate the COMBINED dataset in DISP=MOD 2. Use the LMDINT service to initialize a listing of the datasets matching your mask Lmdinit Listid(LSTID) Level(DsnMask) 3. Then Do a loop thru the list of datasets, using the LMDLIST service, coping each to the COMBINED dataset. Note: LogDs below is the dataset name returned from the LMDlist service Do While lrc = 0 Lmdlist Listid(LstId) Dataset(LogDs) Option(LIST) lrc = rc If lrc 0 Then Iterate Call Copy_and_Delete_Dataset End Lmdfree Listid(LstId) Note: The Copy_and_Delete_Dataset routine does just that, copies each individual dataset to the COMBINED dataset then deletes the individual file (Should you need to delete it). You can use several methods to do the copy by setting up and calling SORT or any other copy utility you like. In my processes, since the datasets are not too large, I simply read each in with EXECIO DISKR and then write them back out to the COMBINED with EXECIO DISKW Good luck Bill -Original Message- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:IBM-MAIN@bama.ua.edu] On Behalf Of sunil mirchandani Sent: Friday, November 18, 2011 9:06 AM To: IBM-MAIN@bama.ua.edu Subject: Help on Rexx Code.

Re: RELEASE UNUSED SPACE FROM DSNS
Do you have DFHSM? If so, what is Primary Space Management doing with these datasets? Are there any error messages? If these datasets were allocated using IEFBR14, they most likely do not have a valid DCB, as they were never accessed by a program performing OPEN/CLOSE and setting a proper DCB with valid DSORG, BLKSIZE and LRECL values (and that will prevent DFHSM from managing them for you). Your best bet to handle those critters is to use either DCOLLECT or a program like the VTOC command on CBT tape to find them and generate the necessary DELETE commands. Perhaps you can go after the users who create these datasets and tell them to stop doing this in the first place.

If that were true long ago when the previous dfdss 64KiB change was made, it certainly wasn't advertised then. The fact that compatibility PTFs for back-level releases are available still doesn't mean you can assume without checking that they are actually installed at some DR site not under your direct control, or that you don't need to be extra careful at such junctures that you have updated all your stand-alone dfdss tapes and have resolved compatibility issues on any back-level systems on site that could conceivably become an issue for local recovery. It's easy to get complacent about issues that are so rare they at most exist for a few months every decade. -- Joel C.

Hello John/Bill, I checked and tried to understand the code, but one thing which i didn't understand how it will take and differentiate the datasets everyday, since everyday the dataset's fourth and fifth level qualifier will get changed. Ex: Like today all 24 datasets looks like A.B.C.18(DDMMYY).NXX yesterday's A.B.C.17.NXX And tomorow's A.B.C.19.NXX. And if today EOD i will run the job, my input should be only A.B.C.18.NXX and the same job will run tomorrow then input should be only A.B.C.19.NXX so that i can have single dataset of a daily o/p.

Your date is ddmmyy (European format). The date portion is the next to last
node in the DSN. REXX has a DATE function. So you could change the DSN in the
LISTC
/* rexx */
... existing code
today=date('E') /* date in dd/mm/yy format */
/* translate '/' to spaces, then remove the spaces */
today=space(translate(today,' ','/'),0)
/* today is ddmmyy format now*/
xx=outtrap(data.,*)
address tso LISTCAT LVL('A.B.today')
xx=outtrap(OFF)
Note that a DSN of A.B.17.NXXX is invalid. Perhaps you meant
A.B.D17.Nxxx ? This works for today. I.e. the date the program actually
runs. If you need it for yesterday, the code is more complicated because date
arithmetic in REXX is bothersome. If you need it for last business day before
today, then it is really tricky. Especially if you want to encode for various
holidays. I won't even attempt that!

Re: Help on Rexx Code.
In the rexx code when you create the dataset mask, string together the
static part of the name with a last node of the date. For example
(untested)
DateNode = Reverse(Right(Date('S'),6))
DsnMask = A.B.C.D || DateNode
Result would (if today) A.B.C.D18
Note: your example shows a date node of 17. Nodes cannot start with
a number hence my 'D' above.

Re: Help on Rexx Code.
Something like this should do it:
IF POS('17', @DSN) = 7 THEN
DO
your work
END
You can calculate the date value into a variable if hat makes it easier.
The 7 is the position that the date string should start. @DSN is the
variable holding the DSN.
Thank you and have a Terrific day!

Re: Help on Rexx Code.
REXX has a date() function which will let you compute the DD, MM, and YY for the date the job is executed (or the day before). Look it up in your TSO/E REXX Reference under Built-in functions in chapter 4. You must decide whether your code will always execute the day of or the day after the datasets are built so you can code the calculation appropriately. If necessary, you can change it so that REXX also allocates SYSUT2 instead of hard-coding it in the JCL. Alternately, your scheduler could provide a parameter to the executing job with the third qualifier which REXX could substitute into the DSN of the allocate statement. Obviously the third qualifier will not be completely numeric but as long as you know the initial one or two characters it should pose no difficulty. -Original Message- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:IBM-MAIN@bama.ua.edu] On Behalf Of sunil mirchandani Sent: Friday, November 18, 2011 11:08 AM To: IBM-MAIN@bama.ua.edu Subject: Re: Help on Rexx Code.

REVERSE?? I don't think that will work. DATE(S) is yymmdd like: 123456.
REVERSE would be 654321, so 010112 (Jan 1, 2012) would be 211010 (Oct 10, 2021).

Subject: Re: Help on Rexx Code.
In the rexx code when you create the dataset mask, string together the
static part of the name with a last node of the date. For example
(untested)
DateNode = Reverse(Right(Date('S'),6))
DsnMask = A.B.C.D || DateNode
Result would (if today) A.B.C.D18
Note: your example shows a date node of 17. Nodes cannot
start with
a number hence my 'D' above.
REVERSE?? I don't think that will work. DATE(S) is yymmdd like:
123456. REVERSE would be 654321, so 010112 (Jan 1, 2012) would be 211010
(Oct 10, 2021).

Re: ISRPROF member is hosed
Any one experience their profile data set member getting hosed up. Specifically, my ISRPROF member had some OVR entries that disappeared Thanks. John Norgauer Sometimes this happens. If you delete the member then it will be rebuilt the next time you access ISPF. Of course, that means re-customizing your ISPF environment. If this is in an SMS pool, then see if you have a backup copy and recover it. Then see it is stilled corrupted or if it is better. Or if you have a backup of the pack it is on, then restore that. In both cases use a new name and copy just the member you want.

*Explanation:* You do not have ACCOUNT authority, which is required to
issue the SYNC command. Your installation's TSO/E administrator must give
you ACCOUNT authority. After ACCOUNT authority has been given to you,
reissue the SYNC command.
I have searched through the Security Server RACF Administrator's Guide and

In the rexx code when you create the dataset mask, string together the
static part of the name with a last node of the date. For example
(untested)
DateNode = Reverse(Right(Date('S'),6))
DsnMask = A.B.C.D || DateNode
Result would (if today) A.B.C.D18
Note: your example shows a date node of 17. Nodes cannot
start with
a number hence my 'D' above.
REVERSE?? I don't think that will work. DATE(S) is yymmdd like:
123456. REVERSE would be 654321, so 010112 (Jan 1, 2012) would be 211010
(Oct 10, 2021).

Re: ISRPROF member is hosed
Was able to do the restore of the profile member.

Hello All, I am new to rexx however i have few things to be fixed with the help of rexx.In my shop every hour one dataset is being created by one application, by end of the day or very next day early morning i want to copy all the data from all hourely datasets which are being created yesterday into one sinle datasets. For example: Dataset naming convention A.B.C.Date.**(fifth level qualifier is being changed like a version(hourely basis)) are creating and lets suppose i have total 24 datasets by the end of the day( A.B.C.D18.N000123 A.B.C.D18.N000138 - - A.B.C.D18.24) So by the end of the day i need to copy the data from(A.B.C.Date.**) to one dataset. I checked on the internet and i find that first half can be possible by using the rexx. since i am new to rexx so any one can look and suggest me with any sample or written rexx code. Really appreciate for any help.

Re: ISRPROF member is hosed
Most of the times I've seen this it's pilot error. What were you trying to do? Editing a profile member with nulls on std is a known profile killer. In a message dated 11/18/2011 5:34:31 P.M.

Re: ADRDSSU Compatibility
On 11/18/2011 04:15 PM, Ted MacNEIL wrote: I'm glad to know n-2 compatibility is now supported. If that were true long ago when the previous dfdss 64KiB change was made, it certainly wasn't advertised then. Funny, I thought n-1 was supported for a long time! - Ted MacNEIL eamacn...@yahoo.ca Twitter: @TedMacNEIL Obviously this depends on what is meant by compatibility PTFs. New dfdss versions have always been compatible in reading dumps produced by previous version(s) - changes that invalidated archived dfdss tapes would not be tolerable.. I also can't recall a case other than the 64K block size change where the n-1 version wasn't able to read tapes produced by version n as long as you didn't explicitly use some new features introduced in the new version. The problem with the 64K block change was that you got the new feature by default. I may have missed it, but I don't remember there being a PTF to the old version to allow it to read 64K blocks, at least not at the time we migrated. In some cases the best you can hope for is toleration support for the n-1 version so that it will try to do something reasonable or at least give meaningful warnings or errors if there is some new construct in the dump file related to a new feature in version n that the old version can't fully handle. -- Joel C.
