Re: What is the PDS command?

It's all built into ISPF nowadays. I would suggest that it is worth your time to go through the ISPF Tutorial every time you get a new release. On my systems the main ISPF panel has an option 11 for Workplace ISPF Object/Action Workplace. You can also get to by the ISPF command DSLIST. You

Greetings Bob, I was looking through my old JCL library and ran across several examples of scans using ISRSUPC. Depending on what you want to do you could try ISRSUPC. If you have access to JOBSCAN you could try it. If you client has DAF, you can use that to scan SMF records to see if any

Hi Bob, If I remember correctly =3.14 has a batch option and you can concatenate all your JCL libraries into the generated job. John. -Original Message- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List On Behalf Of Bob Bridges Sent: Saturday, 16 December 2023 8:55 AM To: IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU

What is the PDS command?

Long ago I wrote - I'm pretty sure I wrote - a REXX exec that would do a 3.14 search through multiple libraries for a character string. I'm looking for it now, and I find one in my archives that uses the PDS command to do the search. But what's the PDS command? I've a strong suspicion that I

As with many things on z/OS the simple can be complicated. I would have thought a simple open of a dataset overriding with RECFM U would have at least allowed you to read a block at a time. Nice idea. Matt Hogstrom m...@hogstrom.org +1-919-656-0564 PGP Key: 0x90ECB270 Facebook

Re: Can this be done?

Ok, it looks like my plan to read any type of file is not going to be as simple as I thought. I guess I will abandon that for now, as it was just going to be a learning exercise to see if we could have a single program open and read data from any disk filetype. I will stop thinking now, and

Disk Browse and Disk Print show the raw track data. There's no interpretation by FM. You just can't use it on a PDSE -- and that's not a bug, it is BAD (Broken As Designed). -Original Message- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List On Behalf Of Paul Gilmartin Sent: Friday, December 15,

We use EXCP for the I/O to our DB and when customers incorrectly allocate it as an extended format DS we fail with a S213-B8: B8An OPEN was attempted against an extended-format data set with a DCB that specified EXCP. EXCP is not supported for extended-format data sets. Mike Shaw MVS/QuickRef

I wonder if this explains why IBM File Manager doesn't allow Disk Browse or Disk Print on PDSEs -- maybe their code using EXCP and they didn't want to change it to use media manager. -Original Message- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List On Behalf Of Lennie Dymoke-Bradshaw Sent:
