BPXWDYN allocation with DEFER and UNIT=AFF

Before I move on to the next function of my Easytrieve program, I thought I'd ask for some insight from those who have used BPXWDYN. And before anyone says RTFM, I have. Okay, here's the issue, the documentation does not include DEFER as an option for dynamic allocation functions. At least not

Re: SCDS/ACDS Compare Tool

Paranoia is driving this more than anything. Managers are being asked to sign-off on changes and that is driving the desire to know exactly what was changed. We provide screen shots of our changes or ACS code compares, but this doesn't prove something else wasn't changed in their minds. They

Re: SCDS/ACDS Compare Tool

What specifically do they think they need with the ACDS/SCDS? I can dynamically change lots of things in ISMF and unless I document it outside of the product, it will remain hidden. Was there an event where an old version of the SCDS was activated? Were ACS code regressed or not tested prior to

I haven't either but wanted to ask this group. Right now, we show our changes via screen shots but that doesn't seem good enough in this change/risk paranoia environment that I work. We can't even initialize volumes with our own ID's any more. They have to be done with a non-human account

Management at my company wants to see a delta compare of the ACDS and the "to be activated" SCDS so that they can see what is going to be implemented with a given change. I've asked IBM and they were not aware of anything. I've looked at Naviquest and it can do some but not everything. A
