FileSeq Number on Tape

2006-10-23 Thread Lizette Koehler
Ok, here is a very basic question: When I code the FILESEQ number on a Tape - it failes if I used hi order zeros. So it will not take 0001 but will take 1. I did not remember this being a restriction in JCL. At what point in the converter code would look at this and not like 0001.

Hmm, that is a strange one, especially since I just looked in my ancient os/390 2.10 JCL reference manual and it actually shows using LABEL=(0001,) Just for kicks, does it still complain if you take out the extra commas? I just tried (on z/OS 1.4) to run and it didn't complain. What error

UNIX shell vs. WLM

A recent post caught my attention about a Java program being run from from a UNIX shell getting tired after the first execution. TSO is set up so that each TSO transaction is known to WLM, so that it resets to first period. Does anybody know if the UNIX shell does the same? If not, doesn't that

NFS is one way. We use it from time to time but it is response time sensitive to and parameter sensitive, so it might not be to responsive. Another way is to use your disk hardware. EMC and HDS can share disk volumes. We use Hitachi HRX to share devices between MF Windows (but it works with Unix
