Why not just export your IODF files from your production system and import them
onto the rescue system volume?
Or import/connect the catalog on the rescue system to your live system and use
a different hlq (e.g. SYSR.) for those data sets?
Just two thoughts - hope this helps.

My understanding is that this is an NJE issue. The user is using XMITIP to
generate an e-mail in SMTP format, placing the data in the JES Spool routed to
z/VM where the SMTP server is that then sends the e-mail somewhere. I suspect
it has something to do with record size limitations on the
uot; volumes too (where SYSRES is your four character
convention for same).

For years I was used to the default TN3270 client having a black background and

viewing experience and I adjusted the other colors accordingly
The use we need to to xfer a tape with multiple files on it (label=1,2,3,)
and thus need the vol=ref.
The working syntax after a suggestion from ibm is VOL=(,RETAIN,REF=dsn)
And since we are using GDG's it must be VOL=(,RETAIN,REF='dsn')
Agreed - the only thing that would be challenging is remembering that instead
of executing the program at the top of the allocations that in REXX the
allocations must come first.

The quotes had to be around the GDG DSN in the VOL=(,RETAIN,REF='gdg.dsn(0)')
