Go ahead and read the fine documentation in DFSMS Utilities, but the quick

when /* will appear in column 1 (think JES2 JECL or no-longer-required

One thing I remember is that CSI's FTP client may have had issues in the
past with RDWs. I think BSI's FTP client works
You make the presumption (sorry) that this doctrine applies to all court
cases. It only constitutionally applies to criminal courts. In civil
court, the burden of proof is on the defendant - always has been, even in
English common law. That's why OJ owes the Goldman family a bazillion
dollars

Also, sometimes SVC 0D processing gets in the way. There are times when you
want the ease, so to speak, of a program check. But in released ISV code, I
don't put those in, and even try to remove those I come across nowadays.
BTW, my hats off to whoever at IBM that assigned 13 to the ABEND SVC
Software in response to this information.

Ed Jaffe (from the PSI that is not being sued) demonstrated a good one
recently that I'm now using:
Jxx *+2
Which generates A7x4 0001. No base register necessary, and PSW points
between the A7x4 and 0001.

I don't have the links handy, but the USPTO has set up a data base for
information on patents and prior art (e.g., Y2K windowing). It was covered
in Computerworld and some of the other trade press a few months ago.
I liked Candle's old tact - an unpublished work - using copyright.

This whole COBOL BEFORE/AFTER thing brings up bad memories.
But here's the simple rule - one WRITE BEFORE in a program forces the DCB to
M. If all the WRITEs have AFTER, it is A.
Now the 20+ year-old war story:
One quarter a tape being generated for microfiche was incredibly large,

Ditto...so far, no problems on the home box. But Firefox 2.0 IMHO still

That goes deep into the bowels of ISAM.
You had the ability to specify different allocations for the (going off
memory here) PRIME (the main data storage area), INDEX (obvious) and OVFLOW
(overflow when hashes collided) areas of an ISAM file. And usually you had
to for production files.

Not from a JES perspective - it automagically allocates those 3 data sets
for every JOB/STC/TSU and in the JES data sets you will always have those 3.
However, you can copy into one - SDSF PRINT to a data set, for example. I
use the XDC line command (not to be confused with Dave Cole's excellent
take it. Close enough.)
