Re: Crazy concatenation mystery
Has anyone checked to see if the order of the JOBLIB/STEPLIB changed. If the first library has the larger BLKSIZE, then smaller subsequent libraries will have no impact. As for LPA, Linklist, etc., these have no bearing on JOBLIB/STEPLIB. BTW, what error is being received?

Re: Is there a utility or command that will show load module characteristics?
You can also allocate the dataset to a SYSLIB DD statement in TSO and execute the AMBLIST via option 6 and enter the LISTLOAD when prompted (don’t forget the Space at the beginning), and end the input with a “/*’ An even easier option is to view the library with 3.4 and browse the load module. Enter the HEX option and you will see a list of the CSECT name and the address with the module.

Re: Would SHARE kindly kick IBM in the ass for what the've done with their web content?
I’m afraid I agree, every link that had z/OS 2.1 ended up with “No Longer Available”. The searches all ended in frustration.

Of those options, I see that there are no V2R1 links for the first two (the search options), and no V2R2 link for the last one as I write this. The biggest problem with this is the unavailability of release-specific search for 2.1, and in not necessarily knowing what things documented in KC and in the the PDFs for 2.2 and 2.3 are implemented on 2.1. For all practical purposes, with limited exceptions, though, all the information you need for 2.1 is probably in the 2.2 books, too. Behind the scenes, I know that people *are* working on this, even if the fruits of their efforts have not yet become apparent. I am pretty far removed from those efforts, so I won't try to summarize status or predict anything, but I can tell you that the issue has caught some fairly high-level attention.

Re: Job submit using REXX
Check with your Netview automation team, this process is easily handled there if this is a critical process it would be the best place to put anyway. Using the right message traps and establishing the proper variables, it would not matter how many data sets are in the process and the return codes could be checked as well to ensure the processing is done at the appropriate time. Most likely a good PIPES guy could do this very quickly.

If there are multiple datasets that need to be available before proceeding, then it is getting to be a bit trickier. Several Scheduling software have Dataset Triggers.

But that requires a human to be vigilant and submit the job when all requirements are met. Also, the human has to review the message and ensure the return code is 0 before proceeding. So to provide the function for the OP without purchasing a product, will be a challenge I think. 1) Monitor for dataset creation via SVT messages. a) If more than one file has to be sent, then monitor for additional creations before proceeding 2) Ensure message shows 0 return code. Anything else needs to be reviewed 3) Ensure all files are available before the next job is submitted Unless the OP has other requirements, I think the three listed are what are needed.

Re: Many arguments to a Rexx function call
Found this in an IBM publication (SA32-0982-00): When you invoke a REXX exec either implicitly or explicitly using the EXEC command. You can pass either one or no arguments to the exec. Thus the ARG instruction in the preceding examples received only one argument. One argument can consist of many words. The argument, if present, will appear as a single string.
