In your SMS configuration, what is your bytes/track set to? For a 3390, it should be 56664 and 15 tracks/cylinder. As I recall, SMS allocation converts from tracks/cylinders to kilobytes based on this number and then DASD allocation converts it back (weird). A 3380 has 47476 bytes/track.

Scott, There is an alternative: after opening your dataset(s) you establish a resource manager (RESMGR) routine. It will be called whenever the task terminates, for whatever reason. It can close the dataset(s) properly, thus ensuring you will lose no data. I guess if LE can do all you need,

If the storage group is not backed up, how did HSM ever back up a copy for you to recover from? Was there a copy of the dataset on disk when you recovered it from HSM? What was the command you used to perform the recovery? When you browse the PDS, does the member list display correctly?

My team discovered something related to the cunhc.h include (Unicode Services). Even tough is the last file included in the main source code, it seems the one causing the compiler errors on all included files. I will write more about this soon. The fix we had was to use an old cunhc.h from

This can happen with any PDS if it is opened for output with a DCB other than its original one (e.g. originally RECFM=FB, but opened with RECFM=VB etc.) When opening for output, the DCB used is (a) the one specified in the program; (b) the one in the JCL; (c) the one on DASD - in that order of

But the exit points 'count' as program DCBs ... as they execute first and override what is in the JCL. I don't check Using Data Sets; but that is how things were in the days of MVS OS/VS SP1 (1985): if things have 'changed' since then, so be it. Tom Marchant wrote: On Tue, 26 Jul 2011

Chances are thar DFHSM did not back up the dataset after it was corrupted. Check DFHSM for the error. Not sure what DFHSM would do if DFDSS were the data mover. I would guess that DFDSS invokes IEBCOPY under the covers and it wouldn't work so. Ed Sent from my iPad On Jul 26, 2011, at
