When and where (in MVS terminology) do the BPX_POSPROC_INIT and
BPX_IMAGE_INIT exits get control? I would like to take an exit right after the
TCB is created, or if this is not available, before a process is started in a

I can't understand why we STILL need to specify SPACE= (etc) for an allocation

Hi,
The below JCL is including only the records I want but it does not only
select the first duplicate.
//SORT EXEC PGM=ICETOOL
//TOOLMSG DD SYSOUT=*
//DFSMSG DD SYSOUT=*
//IN DD DISP=SHR,DSN=INPUT.FILE
//T1 DD DSN=T1,DISP=(MOD,PASS),SPACE=(TRK,(5,5))
//OUT DD SYSOUT=*
//OUTFIL
I believe if you do this scenario in zPCR you will find a small impact on the
GCPs. Probably something on the order of 1-2%. Which of course is well within
the margin of error.
Even though z/OS can't use those CPs, the work running on those CPs will impact
the CPU caches, hence the modest
