ickdsf Exec / IPLDD file format on vmEsa 2.4 / zvm 6.2

2019-03-22 Thread Mike Stramba
Does anyone here have any example code / links / info on writing ipltext with ICKDSF on z/vm 6.2 or vmEsa 2.4? I've read through GC35-0033-42 (ICKDSF Users Guide and Reference v 17), but it "stops short" on the details of how to include either the IPLDD or BOOTSTRAP text in an exec file. thx

Make your screen bigger :-). You should be able to end a line with \, enter it, then continue with more stuff. Or, edit it into a script file. On Fri, Mar 22, 2019 at 4:34 PM Klein, Kevin wrote: > I've been looking for an answer to this for the better part of 2 days. > > When I enter TSO OMVS

I've been looking for an answer to this for the better part of 2 days. When I enter TSO OMVS on my ISPF screen, is there a way to make the command area larger than 2 lines. I have a long command I want to enter that doesn't fit on the two lines I currently have. Apologies is this is a basic

Thanks Mike. The apps I'm working with already have their own APPID, for profiles, etc. As for PASSLIB, my understanding is that's required for the LIBDEFs to be effective for the app, if they are issued before the SELECT NEWAPPL. i.e. a) in some menu: SELECT (%SETUPXXX) SETUPXXX: LIBDEF ...

Well manually, no. I can think of two tools that can do it on the fly, SRS and STOPX37, but they also tailor the index extent size, unless it's RRDS. A VSAM file is really two space allocations, one for the DATA portion and one for the INDEX portion. Alter would only work if the file is

I'm building some clists for a couple of applications that will LIBDEF their libraries, instead of having them concatenated. I see two subtly different ways to do these: a) SELECT the clist, which after the LIBDEFs, SELECTs the product's main entry with NEWAPPL & PASSLIB. b) SELECT the clist
