Yes, I will as soon as I get around to taking inventory. So far I've only tossed out duplicates. My intention was to scan everything, but that's very labor-intensive without specialized equipment. Sent from my iPhone > On Jul 4, 2016, at 16:16, Mike Schwab wrote:

Re: TSO TEST and SYSOUTTRAP/SYSOUTLINE

The clist in my first post was run on z/OS 2.2. The 4-character string "amp:" if present, is an artifact of the listserv web interface and should not be in the clist. The clist has also run on MVS 3.8, without the TSOEXEC in front of TEST and with different SUBSTR columns as shown in comments in

Re: Minimum Volume Sizes in the Wild

The answer to your question is in your xx TB dasd park when you have a handful of 3390-54's filled for 1%? - probably none. With virtual storage arrays for Disk, only what is used, is allocated to the Volser. Say you have a MOD54 defined. But only 1% used. Then there is only 1%

Re: Minimum Volume Sizes in the Wild

We create as much 3390-54's as possible. We have some smaller volumes only because they were converted as is from ESS's. And we have some 3390-3 and 3390-1 for JES checkpoint and catalogs, but with the current GDPS requirement to eliminate all Reserves, I think it would not be a problem to

The list may contain products you do not run at your shop. I am sure automation tools may have some documentation on your list. But how you identify CICS, IMS, DB2, etc... STCs, may make the list different for you and not correlate to other shops. It might be best to use your names for those
