Hi all,
I have my CICS region load modules installed in a volume which resides in
emulated OS/2 H drive. The CICS regions were all working fine, but now I
faced a problem when I was doing an IPL, during IPL it says -

I was thinking more along the lines of securing what programs, tran ids or

You're right. If you have a string of commands, it REDUCES the operator

When allocating any dataset under TSO or BATCH I always ensure the DISP
parameter is properly set.
If you just code a DD statement of

Then the default DISP is OLD,DELETE. That means at job termination the data
set will be deleted. I will let
