Re: JES2 migration (z/OS 1.4 to z/OS 1.7)

I don't need to keep the old z/OS 1.4 system so I think that it is simplest/quickest to do the first IPL in production with the new z/OS 1.7 system with JES2 using the old z/OS 1.4 spool. No need to do the spool offload/reload because I don't have to change the size of the spool. Francois Pare

Are JCTUSER0-JCTUSERF initialised by JES2?

Hi, I need an information: does JES2 initialise the JCT user fields JCTUSER0 through JCTUSERF prior to the initial call to the JOB-card-scan exit (exit 2), whether for a batch job, an STC or a TSO logon, or are those 64 bytes left uninitialised by JES2 and must they therefore be initialised by
