Because it isn't the 32nd day of the month? In about 180 million years we will be up to a 25 hour day, due to the tides from the moon slowing the earth down. So, about every 2083 years we add a second to each day. On Thu, May 4, 2017 at 11:42 AM, Paul Gilmartin

Re: Vendor Licensing Frustrations

If you know the DR center's CPU ids or can use z/VM to reuse your licensed IDs, you are OK. If you are going to a vendor's site and don't know the CPU ids and can't use z/VM or the product uses the real CPU id instead of the z/VM CPU id you can be in trouble. On Wed, Apr 26, 2017 at 3:22 AM,

Re: Vendor Licensing Frustrations

How about reaching an agreement with IBM. When they get a SCRT report that includes your product, they send you a copy. Then when contacting a site, the disclosure agreement to get the trial copy and the final contract indicate that IBM will send you a copy of SCRT results for billing purposes.

Actually, take the size of the maximum allocation on a volume (64K tracks (non extended) or largest volume(extended)) and divide by 16 and use that for Primary / Secondary. Storage class can even extend onto 59 volumes. On Fri, Apr 21, 2017 at 12:52 PM, Paul Gilmartin

Re: unCATALOG after a RENAME

The default disposition for NEW is DELETE. So the dataset will be deleted. If it is SMS managed, it will be cataloged during its lifetime. Non-SMS are not cataloged until the step ends. On Thu, Apr 20, 2017 at 2:08 PM, Paul Gilmartin <000433f07816-dmarc-requ...@listserv.ua.edu> wrote: > On

Re: Vendor Licensing Frustrations

If you can run under z/VM you can specify the licensed CPU numbers. Some software will detect this and get the real hardware CPU numbers. Add the DR CPU numbers to your licensing request and indicate DR only. On Thu, Apr 20, 2017 at 11:05 AM, Dyck, Lionel B. (TRA) wrote: > I

Re: unCATALOG after a RENAME (rename a non-VSAM file.)

If you specify the volser for a non-sms dataset, the catalog is not accessed, and the rename does not update the catalog, and you need to manually update the catalog. On Tue, Apr 18, 2017 at 10:18 AM, Thomas David Rivers wrote: > retired mainframer wrote: > >> Run some test
