IBM fixed IEBGENER to not clobber the SYSUT2 directory. Changing the behavior
of OPEN would have broken a lot of code.
The decision that file globbing should be in the shell makes it much more
fragile than it would otherwise have been. I prefer the TSO approach of proving
services and letting

Well, you can certainly see some JCL somewhere where there is for example
// SET DSN1=SOME.PDS(FOO)
And there are a bunch of references to DSN=, most of which really "want"

According to here:

You might need feature code 1754 to deactivate encryption...

Eunix was designed for a PDP-7, and we are suffering from some of the design
decisions made then. But the myth of windows being user friendly is just a
myth; the reality is quite different. So, yes, z/OS suffers from some really
bad decisions made decades ago, but so do the other systems. The

Hello All, I have run into a unique problem with a DS8870 that I recently
acquired.
The DS8870 is not using encryption and when we try to replace the drives, we
are receiving following error: The DS8700 is not under IBM Maintenance.
2107-104 Error from Action applicationLevelActivateRepair.
Step 1 I would put the default CLASS= in every job. Easier to change

What the heck were the UNIX designers thinking when they allowed the casual
creation of a filename of -x? There may be a legitimate reason why someone
would want to create a file named -x but if so, then *they* should be made to
jump through some small hoop and "escape" the name in some way.
Skippy, a number of misapprehensions in there.
A certificate never "consists of a public and private key." A certificate
contains a public key, and somewhere there is a corresponding private key. A
PKCS12 package may contain both the certificate and the private key, but a
certificate itself
Sorry FTPS - x.509 certs need to be exchanged and loaded onto the RACF keyring
specified in the TLS rule in PAGENT and if you have client auth enabled the
cert will need to be on the client PC/Device also

I am asking in regards to FTPS.
I know gskkyman can create/import/export certs. The cert consists of a public

I'm asking because it's my understanding that the public key should be loaded
up and installed on a client computer. Is that correct?

Part of real need is complying with lawful management edicts, even when they
are not wise. You have an obligation to point out the problems, but if
management wants to do it regardless, then you must shut up and code.
Of course, in that situation it is prudent to retain an audit trail showing

However we may assume:
a) there is finite number of the jobs
b) you know all the jobs - that means all PDS/PDSE's with the jobs. No

c) the jobs are not generated dynamically by some "black box" tool,
