Re: Cobol ACCEPT-DATE
Just as an aside, IIRC from my VSE days, the current cpu date at the time the job starts (or overridden by a // DATE card) was the date that was maintained for the duration of the job. If you started after midnight, how (which direction) was the date a day out? -Original Message- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Perryman, Brian Sent: Wednesday, August 22, 2007 10:12 AM To: IBM-MAIN@BAMA.UA.EDU Subject: Cobol ACCEPT-DATE Hi folks Is ACCEPT-DATE supposed to return GMT time, or local time?

Re: VSAM REUSE with alternate index
While you can define the AIX as reusable, you can't define the base cluster as reusable if it has an AIX From the define cluster: When you create a reusable cluster, you cannot build an alternate index to support it. -Original Message- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Victor Gil Sent: Tuesday, August 07, 2007 10:40 AM To: IBM-MAIN@BAMA.UA.EDU Subject: VSAM REUSE with alternate index I am posting this for a co-worker. Any hints are greatly appreciated. -Victor- I was wondering if you could help me out with a VSAM question. I have a base cluster defined with an alternate index and a path. Its modeled on an existing file. Im able to define and load my test version of the file using IDCAMS. What I would really like to do is to be able to reload/refresh this file each night using IDCAMS REPRO with a REUSE. I added REUSE to the base cluster but received an error on the repro. I then tried adding REUSE to the definition of the alternate index but also got errors during the repro. Can IDCAMS be used to get this done? I guess the alternative is to delete/redefine the VSAM file each night which I would prefer not to do. _ Puzzles, trivia teasers, word scrambles and more.
