Finding all DASD volumes containing IPL text

2018-09-15 Thread Sam Golob
Hi Folks,     Lionel Dyck posed the question of how you can determine which of your disk packs have IPL text on them, and what IPL text do they have?     Lionel solved his own problem (with Bob Richards' help). Please see his exec called IPLCHK on CBT File 312 on the UPDATES page.  If you

Unless something has changed recently, after all these decades of built-in level management, V01.M99 does not automatically roll over to V02. 01.99 gets stuck forever unless manually updated. Furthermore, users must take care to let ISPF handle incrementing properly. Too often I see a user

Thank you to Tom, Dana, John and Steve, all of whom came up with the "right" answer (i.e. the answer I was looking for). Yes, the ancient PDS command does exactly what I want... 1) I don't have to write my own utility. 2) I can run it in the batch under the TMP. 3) It has an ATTR membersref

Will your Z110S and Z210M systems run simultaneously in different LPARs? If so, then you do not want to copy the catalog entry. This will cause both systems to try to use the same page dataset on the same volume. In this case you need to define new page datasets for Z210M. See the "DEFINE

johnny, I'm going on the assumption that PAGE.PLPA.PAGE doesn't exist and copying a non-existent catalog entry isn't going to work. Skip gave sample IDCAMS statement to define a PAGESPACE, so use it to define your PLPA, COMMON, and PAGE datasets - use different names than the system on which
