Re: Restoration of Multivolume GDG from Physical Dump Backup

2014-08-09 Thread Jon Perryman
As you realized, you are restoring 4 unque datasets with the same DSN. The problem is that the restore is cataloging each of these datasets which causes the second to fail. You need to specify nocatalog (I'm guessing because it's been too long). Also beware that you may have the system option

GDS's are simply a datasets. Don't think of them as anything special other than their DSN ends with GDG number.  If you want to cleanup uncataloged datasets, then search the IBM-MAIN archives because it's already been discussed. Jon Perryman.  On Thursday, August 7, 2014 8:16 PM, Ravi Gaur

The message is considered an operator action message (not operator response). The asterisk * indicates it won't scroll off a non-scrolled screen. It's intent is to make you aware of a situation that a product wants to make your operator aware of and wants them to take an action. There is not a

For edit macro's, placing the cursor at the end risks far less data than leaving the cursor alone. Right or wrong is a matter of opinion. Leaving the cursor at the current location will certainly teach programmers to check return codes and not make false assumptions the first time they destroy

What makes a fullscreen editor not a line mode editor? I can't think of any ISPF edit commands that require full screen features other than entering the command thru the command area in the screen. Granted, the full screen features make life easier and the command area is very small.  Jon

Just because you don't understand or can't imagine it's importance doesn't make it non-sense. TSO edit has a batch mode without the need for a macro language so you can't even check return codes. Yes they could have taken it to the extreme but being extreme is not acceptable. In the MVS world,

Lets stop trying to imagine. In what universe does ISPF (not edit) support line mode terminals. Would you use the Emacs editor outside x-windows? If you can make ISPF support line mode, then edit will automatically have line mode capability. Jon Perryman On Saturday, August 9, 2014 2:22 PM,
