Re: Searching for a process to clean my VTS

Hi, If you show us the RMM LV result, we could investigate the volume status. Anyway, the current RMM Volume registry must be unreliable. So could you execute RMM DELETEVOLUME volser FORCE NOEJECT prior to RMM ADDVOLUME & RMM DELETEVOLUME RELEASE ? Best regards, Nobuhiko Furuya(古谷信彦) V-SOL

Re: Laid-off 60-year-old Kyndryl exec says he was told IT giant wanted 'new blood'

It’s illegal to layoff people based upon age. Most businesses are good at getting around it. It happens frequently. IBM has a history of getting sued for it. With AI on the horizon, I can foresee many more of these kind of scenarios happening. Sent from Yahoo Mail for iPhone On Friday, June

Re: Searching for a process to clean my VTS

The symptoms I am seeing are confusing me. If I try to do an RMM AV for a volume. RMM says it is already there. If I try to search for the volumes under the ISPF interface, nothing is found. The entries are there because they show up in the RELEASE list. They refuse to show up in any

Not opining about IBM's motives - I know nothing - but FWIW, when I was caught in the 3rd wave of layoffs at Volvo Truck NA, some of my fellow victims tried to get me interested in the claim that it was all older employees and therefore age discrimination. I suppose it may have been, but it

If true, I hope the company gets bloodied in court. My, soon to be ex-, employer is accomplishing the same result by eliminating all the mainframes. I'm not saying getting rid of us older people is a goal, just that it's happening. On Fri, Jun 2, 2023, 11:44 Lance D. Jackson wrote: >

What I remember of it is that he was convinced it was a lot slower. So I told him that nobody forced him not to use QSAM for datasets just because it ran in USS. And it think that is a great asset of it. Just because Unix forces you to have a hierarchical directory system does not mean, in USS,

Not to put too fine a point on encapsulation because what you say is true for Working-Storage and Paragraphs or Sections. But you can restrict or make variables available to internal subroutines with the GLOBAL attribute. Likewise, variables can be made available to external subroutines with

Re: z/OS 3.1: Now UNIXR Certified

Less interesting then what to call it, is how it works out. I always found the interesting part that you can write a program and call SVC's using macros and Unix services from the same program. I found a number of people thinking that Unix is in some way 'emulated' and some really were calling

Of course in some ways OMVS is a shim in that MVS is still there underneath. I assume David's point is that it's not JUST a layer that directly maps to the obvious existing services, but adds additional value on top of that. And Metz is saying that nevertheless, since MVS is still there, he
