Re: Data space dump with SDUMPX
Not a clue.
You will probably have to open problem report with IBM.

Re: Question
Someone will correct me if/where I'm wrong. Open Enterprise SDK for Python - Just python. Comes with pip and virtualenv or venv, which are included in Python distribution these days. pip = package manager. virtualenv / venv = environment manager. Rocket Python = Rocket delivers the open source tools it delivers through Anaconda, which is a Python environment + package manager. I haven't looked but I believe they deliver Bash, and some other tools also via Anaconda "channels". ZOSOpen Tools's Python = It's an empty wrapper. At the moment, it just exists to add itself as a dependency to any Python project you may want to port. All it does is check if Python exists in your sys. Upstreaming zOS-relevant bits of code to Python, I think, is happening completely separate from ZOSOpen Tools's Python. Some of it may well be tied with "Python AI Toolkit for Z". PATZ = Close to OE SDK for Python, but delivered via an IBM hosted & managed repository manager (ex: JFrog Artifactory, Sonatype Nexus). The difference is, PATZ is also a source for python packages that have zOS support (+ acceleration where possible I think) added. There's also the layer of safety of it coming from an IBM "stash" rather than pypi.org directly. pypi = the "stash" where "pip install thing" will get a package from, by default.

Re: Missing LMOD doing APPLY
Kurt, We are using the waves and ripples sequence in the Program Directory. This error occurs in Wave 0. During this Wave, these FMIDs are to be applied: FORFMID(HMP1K00, HMQ4160) HPM77E0) We removed HPM77E0, then ran APPLY for the other 2 FMIDs. That worked OK. Trying to do the APPLY for HPM77E0 keeps giving us the "LMOD not found" message. We found that LMOD IEWDLR00 is created in HBB77E0.F6(HBB77E0), STEP 17. Looks like part of Wave 1A. Another thought. We might have gotten ahead of ourselves in running the Allocate and DDDEF sample jobs - we did them all at once before Wave 0 APPLY. Is it possible that running the DDDEFs for Wave 1 and Wave 2 before Wave 0 APPLY was completed has messed up things, i.e. pointing to incorrect libraries? -Original Message- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List On Behalf Of Kurt Quackenbush Sent: Wednesday, February 7, 2024 5:08 PM To: IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU Subject: Re: Missing LMOD doing APPLY Caution: This email is originated from outside the organization.

Re: Reading a scratch tape
Hi Gadi AMV"SH, Assuming that your ESM and JES allow BLP, you could do something like, //SYSUT1 DD DISP=SHR, // UNIT=TAPE, // VOL=SER=123456, // LABEL=(n,BLP,EXPDT=98000), // DSN=A,B To calculate "n" ... (3*File Number) - 1 e.g. If you want File 1, n=2 If you want File 2, n=5 Chodesh Tov Regards, David On 2024-02-07 06:45, Gadi Ben-Avi wrote: Hi, We've been asked to attempt to read a file from a scratched tape.

Re: Generate a data set with record numbers?
I needed to code a IRXJCL yesterday and wanted to use an instream exec. I remembered there was a message last year about this, but couldn't get it to work. The manual CLEARLY SAYS that SYSEXEC *must* be a library. So I hunted back through the archives until I found the message, and that's when I noticed that the linked documentation was for z/OS 2.5. -Original Message- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List On Behalf Of Paul Gilmartin Sent: Tuesday, February 6, 2024 5:30 PM To: IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU Subject: Re: Generate a data set with record numbers?

Re: Reading a scratch tape
In case the sync between CTM-T and OAM isn't real-time, you get some amount of time to unscratch the tape in CTM-T. As a last resort, there are some settings (sorry, I don't remember which ones) in TS7700 that specify how long it keeps the scratched/deleted "tapes" around. So if it comes to that, I believe IBM h/w support can get to the volume from the SE interface (or whatever it's called) of TS7K and extract what you want.

Re: Reading a scratch tape
Clearly this is going to have to be marked as Master or User in the library and Control-M. RMM it is fairly easy, not sure about Control-M. The 7700 should also be no issue.

Re: Reading a scratch tape
Since the tape is a scratch, the first thing to be done is to change it to private, to avoid it being offered to be rewritten. I believe TS7700 does not allow a scratch tape to be open as input, so changing it to private will also allow you to read it.
