Hi Wendell,
In our production sysplex we have 6 different JESplexes.
One of those JES2 MASplex uses Checkpoint in the Coupling Facility.
The other 5 all use DASD checkpoint datasets.
Never had any sort of cross sysplex issues.

I know that I’m late to this game, but we used to have a free tool to handle
this called ‘WWUNTERSE’, which has been used by hundreds of people. It is now
being made available by its original developer, Mario Bezzi, at this link -

All my best,

I'm not sure I have an answer for you at this time. But I do have a few
questions.
Are the JES2 checkpoint datasets for the two systems the same name?
Are the VOLSERs the same name?
I don't have access to any z/OS anymore but when I did, we had three different

Yes, I'm aware of this method, thank you for mentioning it.
However that way does not allow generics.
Obviously I could create some REXX script for that, but I don't want to
reinvent the wheel.

Yes, Tim, perennially entertaining.
A client I did some work for a couple years ago has been working on a two-year
project to dump their mainframe for the past six years; they're still plugging
away at it. A year ago they got new a new mainframe box which of course
involved upgrading z/OS and

Since this is a city, any way of getting reports that would allow
you to see how much it cost to go off their mainframe? And then
any way to project the cost of now (what ever architecture) to
say a z14?
I think it could be instructive.

Gentlemen,
First, thank you for your answers. I appreciate it.
Regarding TOLENQF - it doesn't work with COMPRESS or CONSOLIDATE. The
manual is clear here.
Regarding rename - this is the thing I wanted to avoid for several reasons:

I want to compress some system datasets like SYS1.LINKLIB, but *not*
real "live", rather offline copies.
DSS ends with RC8, because of failed serialization.
SETPROG LNKLST,UNALLOCATE will not solve all the enqueues, because some
datasets are serialized by other entities like TSO users.
