Dr. Rony; I hope this reaches you in time for a response. According to my reading of the Symposium schedule, registration should be starting now. I don't see an active link for even the "General Meeting." If I've mis-read or there was a technical issue, please let me know how to adjust my plans

Apologies, I spotted a typo after hitting send: 3. The TESTLSA, TESTREXA1, and TESTREXA3 scripts are duplicates of the TESTLS, TESTREX1, and TESTREX3 scripts but stored as ISO8859 text rather than as IBM1047 text. TESTREX3, not TESTREX2 Peter -Original Message- From: IBM

z/VSE Support Education and Manuals

Hi, I have been requested to support z/VSE Platform, since I support z/VM and z/OS Systems.Since,  I have not used VSE systems for 40Yrs, I would be interested in learning any information which would help me support z/VSE Environments. If you have any information which would help me then I

ADR971E RC 8

I got around the problem a different way, but I'd really like to understand why ADRDSSU won't restore(logically dumped) or copy a non-SMS extended addressable VSAM LDS dataset to an SMS managed extended addressable VSAM LDS. Is there something within the physical dataset that's different

The examples from the FM seem to generally use &-symbols when available, and $-symbols when not. $VERSION for example isn't a system-provided symbol, although I assign it from On a rather tangential rant, I am annoyed with people who gratuitously stuff $$$ all over in volsers, dsnames, and

Problem resolved by using the Windows SCRT program to process the SMF data. I tested this yesterday & it worked fine. I assume version 29 on Windows will be available 15Oct2022 just like the z/OS version. Actually, this won't be a problem until version 29 of SCRT is required. On Mon, Sep 12,
