Re: dfsort -TASK I/O TABLE EXCEEDS TIOT LIMIT OF 0064K
The first job can do one pass of the input to split the output into three files of 250 IDs each. Then run three subsequent jobs concurrently to split the first step output files into the individual files. That is one less pass on the total input. If there is enough TIOT space, an additional variation to try is to split the first 250 IDs in the first job with two additional outputs for groups 251-500 and 501-750. Then run additional jobs to split the additional groups. That can save from having to do a second pass on part of the data. If the OP has enough system resources in the second step, they can consider changing the first step output files to groups of 125 IDs to run additional splits concurrently.

As a start, put the first 250 into JOB1, the second 250 into JOB2 and the last 250 into JOB3. It means 3 passes of the input file instead of one, but the jobs will run and you will get the result you need.

Re: tape management from BMC
Hi We moved from CA1 to Control-M a few years ago, and then to DFSMSrmm a few years after that move. The first move was due to CA pricing, the second one was due to outsourcing policy. Between those three, I would say that rmm has an unfriendly user interface, but I suppose that is just the IBM way. I really liked Control-M ease of use. CA1 was, and I am sure it still is, a great product, and the transition to Control-My was easy to do. The transition to rmm was more painful due to the user interface not being very intuitive. If I had to chose one now I would go with Control-M.

Re: ISPF WSA and ISPF Plugin for z/OSMF
I guess I should have tried other WSA facilities, but once I saw the GUI editor I didn't like it and I never bothered with anything else. I used to regularly print a page of large font that could be read across the operations room showing res pack volsers for each LPAR. That data was gathered in an ISPF application, then sent to my PC and printed using a TPUT program and bit of a code I added to my terminal emulator. So basically, I'd press Enter in the ISPF app and out would come a rexx-generated rtf file on a PC-attached printer. Sounds like I could have done similar with WSA.

Anyone having Issues with VTS
Hello - We're experiencing a lot of problems right now with the VTS, and the 3592-JC media. Our configuration is: IBM 3584 tape library, with 3957VEC TS7760-T VTS (virtual tape server), microcode level 8.51.2.12 10 3592-E08 drives for the VTS back-end, installed 5/25/2022 3592-JC media, bought within the last 6-8 months. 1) we had a problem with not being able to recall virtual tapes if the primary back-end tape was in ROR (read only recovery) status, and the secondary back-end tape was OK. IBM found a bug in their VTS code, and fixed it, and we seem to be OK on that front. 2) Still having a lot of occurrences of a JC back-end tape getting stuck on the drive, and not properly unloading. The Operations staff has to pause the library, open it up, find the tape, pull it, resume the library, put the tape in the I/O hopper. We have an IBM crit-sit opened, and have uploaded library & drive logs. Is anyone else having these sorts of problems? .

ISPF WSA and ISPF Plugin for z/OSMF
I experimented with WSA back in the day; didn't find it especially compelling, best I can recall. I've lately been experimenting with the ISPF plugin for z/OSMF. If you like a more pointy-clicky interface, you might like it. I presume whatever customization done with WSA would not apply. I have a list of things I don't like about the ISPF plugin, but it may hopefully improve. One thing that is really good is tabbed screens. Instead of 'SPLIT' (which is still there), you can enter 'START' to get a new tabbed screen. sas On Sat, Jun 11, 2022 at 12:40 AM Michael Oujesky wrote: > Ditto > > At 05:09 PM 6/10/2022, Don Leahy wrote: > > >I am still in mourning about the prospect of losing WSA.

Re: dfsort -TASK I/O TABLE EXCEEDS TIOT LIMIT OF 0064K

If you are writing to DASD then you shouldn't have any issue. Your shop seems to have TIOT limit of 64 which should allow 3273 dd statements. Your job is only writing 750 files which should be within the limits.

Re: SLIP IF not working
but I would have thought specifying JOBNAME would be enough to avoid the situation An understandable, but incorrect/incomplete, thought. The implementation covers such cases as where a program in address space A PC's to address space B and it is within address space B that the system found MOD1. Jobname applies to a workunit whether that work unit is running in the address space of the job where it started or with an alternate primary address space when following the chain of space-switch PC. The home address space remains the same. Since SLIP has no idea that you want to avoid this case (which MODE=HOME would so indicate) it treats finding MOD1 in any address space as having found a copy to use.
