Re: Stand Alone Dump questions

Radoslaw, I have looked in a lot of places for the differences between version 1 and version 2 Extended format data sets. I have asked questions of IBM and not got answers. The only place I have found anything is in the description of the EXTPREF parameter of DSNTYPE in the JCL reference

Jim, It is not related to SADUMP, but definitely related to z/OS: You mentioned extended format PS is restricted to ~4Gi blocks per volume. Where is it documented? This is information I'm trying to find and sometimes I see some clues, but no reference to the documentation. Another question:

I appreciate the help and suggestions. And, if SAS was the only culprit, I'd work at isolating SAS. But, I can get a spike with just about any CPU biased work, I can come close with just a failing search in SDSF. We can also live with the problem, if we have to. I was just exploring an idea,

Yes, I am. However I checked EOS dates for some z/OS releases and the difference is big, even 1 year. The other source was already mentioned IBM Support - Software lifecycle, which is incomplete and inconvenient, but IMHO trusted source. Examples: z/OS 2.1 EOS Wiki: 2019-09 IBM: 2018-09-30

There might be one at the IBM TechDocs site, but it's too annoying to use these days (because it's not a simple list like it used to be!). You can just check out a recent z/OS v2r4 or v2r5 session at SHARE from IBM and I'm sure they'll have a coloured table/slide with support status. - KB

I know you said you were in wind-down mode; think you also mentioned you're running in hosted infra? You could consider https://luminex.com/products/mdi/slp/ In short, it's a VTL (could be tiny) that 'writes to tape' (via FICON) a copy of SMF, onto this box. You can then get SAS/MXG license for

Raphael, Thank you for your quick answer. Unfortunately this is the service I called horribly inconvenient. ;-) And the page does NOT provide information about older z/OS versions. Not to mention OS/390. BTW: there is some information on en.wiki, unfortunately there are serious mistakes

I'm looking for z/OS lifecycle information. Previously there was simple table somewhere on IBM website, now I cannot find it. Uncle Google does not help. The only thing I found is "IBM Support - Software lifecycle", which is horribly inconvenient and does not contain all z/OS releases. Any
