DSLIST Delete VSAM Options Dialog?

2006-10-07 Thread Paul Gilmartin
I have long been accustomed, when I delete a VSAM data set from ISPF DSLIST, to get a dialog, panel ISRUVPC9, where I may supply options concerning details of the deletion process. I find this a nuisance; I never do anything but press ENTER and take the default behavior. I tolerate it grudgingly,

As I wrote earlier, if you identify ZZZ (which let us say is within AAA), then you cannot get rid of it by DELETE of ZZZ. You can only get rid of it by DELETE of AAA Just as you cannot get rid of something in IPL-time LPA, you cannot DELETE an IDENTIFYed entry that was added by an authorized

Hmmm, also looks like it will not search for COBOL code. If you go to the advanced search page there is a drop down list of languages, seems there are a fair number there, but COBOL is not one of them. A search of 'PERFORM VARYING' resulted in no COBOL hits that I could find.

You won't find any description of LE environmental parameters in the semantics of the CALL statement because it has nothing to do with the CALL statement -- interpretation of the PARMS field is totally up to the called program. If the called program was implemented via a high-level language

Several people have complained here and in their forums that COBOL is not on their radar. However, it does seem to find COBOL. I think one problem with searching for PERFORM VARYING is that the actual phrase would be PERFORM paragraph-name VARYING, would it not? (I'm not a COBOL expert.) I

I ignored almost all of these posts about a letter to the FLEX-ES Community since I had never heard of FLEX-ES before. But after seeing 50 new ones added yesterday, I decided to read one. Sure enough - more pedantic off-topic nonsense. Where is the thread killer when we need it most?

Bill, There were several posts that strayed off of the topic, but if you read at least the first post on this topic, I think you'll find this very on topic. Flex-ES is a PC that is fitted with special software so it can run the MVS operating system. It is also fully licensed by IBM, which

Abuse of A Letter To The FLEX-ES Community

Hi, In support of Bill Fairchild's indictment of the thread entitled A Letter to the FLEX-ES Community all I can say, as somebody with a vested interest in both FLEXES and the ADCD program, is that the pedantic diatribe of spelling and abbreviation corrections somewhat diluted the worthiness

I had a similar problem many years ago on an MVS/XA system. What I did was to create an alias (let's call it SAPQA1) for a usercatalog. I then took the listing of datasets and wrote a program to create a TSO CLIST that renamed the files from SAPQUAS... to SAPQA1... Once all the SAPQUAS
