Michael, I have to disagree with your blanket statement about never trying to debug optimized code. While it is sometimes true that debugging optimized code presents a problem, this is NOT always the case. Certainly recompiling with OPT(0) makes debugging easier, but it can hide subtle bugs

IBM COBOL for z/OS V5 and later can not live in a PDS library. You must link to a PDS/E Program Object library. This may have consequences. If you are using IGZERRE to establish a resusable run-time environment, you must convert to CEEPIPI. If you are using ORDER statements in the Binder,

As I understand your scenario, you have two z/OS systems, a driving system (call it A) where the z/OSMF server is running and a target system (call it B), and you want to install z/OS 2.5 into the existing master catalog for system B. Currently you have selected A as the target system for the

You're OK to just restart the z/OSMF server after installing PTFs for PH45201 and PH46392. No need to restart the Deployment operation. Kurt Quackenbush, IBM z/OS SMP/E and z/OSMF Software Management Chuck Norris never uses CHECK when he applies PTFs. -Original Message- From: IBM

JES3 is no longer being maintained by IBM product. Phoenix Software International - https://phoenixsoftware.com/jes3plus.htm - is licensed to maintain and enhance JES3. This is probably the reason for the SMP/E split. Note also that z/VSE is in a similar situation. As of June 1, 2021, 21st
