Thanks Mark. that is the answer I needed. We are running z/OS V1.4 and this fits very nicely. We will be upgrading to z/OS V1.7 by end of year. So I will probably just live with this anomaly for now. Lizette Yes - install APAR OA11927. Thanks, Mark Thomen Catalog/IDCAMS/VSAM

The Catalog was created before the IMBED was removed. Any catalog created with IMBED before then would still show it in the listing. If you apply the apar OA10952 and then do the EXPORT/IMPORT the IMBED will no longer be in the listing. You can consider it an artifact from when the catalog

an example of the control blocks I needed to chase and exclude (Exclude STC, and TSU, only do it if Batch), but cannot find my notes. It would save me some time if someone had it coded this way that I could borrow to make sure I do not over shoot my goal for the exit. Thanks in advance. Lizette

Re: compress a proclib

2006-08-02 Thread Lizette Koehler
I think there are actually a couple of solutions here. 1) Do not put user proclibs in JES2. Use the JCLLIB statement instead. 2) If you do put a user proclib in JES2 then make it with only primary allocation and no seconday. Allow for growth. If it fills up then use the JCLLIB statement 3)

SVC Dumps and DB2

2006-08-03 Thread Lizette Koehler
Does anyone know if there is a way to reduce the amount of information DB2 feels it needs to dump when it requests an SVC Dump? We had MAXSPACE set at 4500M and it still was not enough. I do have the Dump Data sets SMS managed and STRIPPED (extended format) so that part should not be a

Thanks Sam, and everyone else. We have no issue with the DASD part of the dump. I have that setup as stripped. It is just the virtual dump I am having difficutly with. We have limited storage and so our MAXSPACE can only go to about 4.5G. The 6G or 8G is out of the question right now. I

I woudl probably verify what I dump to SYSMDUMP. You can do this with a D D,O command. You should see something like the following IEE857I 10.13.16 DUMP OPTION 713 SYSABEND- ADD PARMLIB OPTIONS SDATA=(LSQA,TRT,CB,ENQ,DM,IO,ERR,SUM),

The only other area I might also consider is your backend tapes for the VTS should you decide to add more virtual tapes. Make sure you have enough of them to support any additions you might make to the VTS. Lizette There are two main ways to tackle this situation, and likely you will need

Kees, If you play around with this you could discover that a blank entry can only be used in a very specific configuration. And I always do recommend anyone with a question first start by playing with a construct (not the production ones of course) and see what it does. For example if you

When I use DFDSS to download a volume or dataset(s) to be transferred to another host, I always include BLKSIZE=32760 on the output file in DFDSS. Even though DFDSS does not care, it does help my transfer process whether that is NDM, XCOM, FTP. If you terse the file you need to make sure you

TPX Acl/e Code and Dispatch

Does any kind soul out there have a DISPATCH logon script for TPX ACL/E language? I am running into issues and cannot seem to get my arms around a solution. I have one user that seems to be already logged on but when we look they are not logged on to DISPATCH. My script works for everyone

Re: TPX Acl/e Code and Dispatch

2007-12-06 Thread Lizette Koehler
I can emulate the problem by using two different IDs to logon to TPX Sessions and logging on with the same id in Dispatch. So TPX Session one is logged on as USER1 adn TPX Session two is logged on as USER2. I then logon to DISPATCH under both TPX sessions as USER1. This creates the error

2007-12-06 Thread Lizette Koehler
It is just odd that I only have one user that has this duplicate logon issue. No one else here is reporting it. I am trying to get more users on TPX. And hopefully we can see if this is isolated or not. Well, we have IPLs scheduled for this weekend so I will see if monday it is cleared up.
