Re: Visara CNA8000 question

Hi, currently we have a TR link going into a FEP which connects via bus and tag to a 9034 which then connects via ESCON to a z196, but we're going z13 and so need FICON link. The CNA8000 would appear to be able to replace both the FEP and the 9034 if we configure it right as it has TR and

In my limited experience with DD (Data Domain) and DLM (emulated virtual tape) the issues we had was time to replicate and since we wanted the less-expensive solution we shared our DD with the distributed systems. We replicated to a local DR site, over black fiber and to a DR site almost 800

I don't have the answer to that one. I imagine it's possible! But I don't believe there was any specific intent for this to "uncover bad code" in 6.1, so you'll probably just have to see what you run in to with 6.2. Frank From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List

The error is not that there is a VALUE clause in the linkage section, but rather the value clause now being allowed and respected, in conjunction with the fact that the particular value clause is invalid. It should be VALUE '1234', not VALUE 1234. You would get the same error in COBOL V4 and
