Re: Question for COBOL users

There is nothing to prevent a user or product to go ahead and use PARMDD, and it could point to the program's (compiler's) specific overrides. The program (compiler) can only read the PARM for the length it specifies (100/255) until modified to allow a parm length of 32K. Maybe a couple releases

Re: Pervasive Dataset Encrypted Question

http://publibz.boulder.ibm.com/zoslib/pdf/OA50569.pdf Printed page 4: z/OS 2.2 with OA50569 can create encrypted datasets. z/OS 2.1 with OA50569 cannot create encrypted datasets, can read encrypted datasets from 2.2. So without OA50569, I would assume it would not recognized that it was

Re: AW: Re: Number of Cylinders per Volume

z/OS does have Small Data Set Packing. Puts datasets under your exit size limit into a VSAM KSDS. For another storage pool, we did run into problems with not enough entries in the VTOC, so we created smaller volumes with large VTOCs. On Sat, Jan 13, 2018 at 2:19 PM, R.S.

Re: IBM ZD

You would not need one for every programmer. Perhaps one to take to a customer site to demonstrate your software and one to host an application for a development team. If the applications are small could hold several applications, until you hit a space limit or ram or cpu causing slowdowns. On
