Hi Radoslaw,
Yes, SMp/E will use SMPLOG until it is full, then switch to SMPLOGA. Once that
is full, it will not go back to SMPLOG. According to the manual:
"If the SMPLOGA data set is full, the extra log data is written to the SMPOUT
data set, with the date and time stamp encrypted"
I have
What makes it even more fun is when some of us top post and others bottom post
- like I'm doing here. :-)
If I do post something to a chain that has any length to it, I try to follow
the convention of the chain as well as deleting irrelevant information.

Esmie,
Let me give it a try. I think you're getting confused due to terminology and
different views of the copies. From a z/OS point of view, both the examples
you show are doing full volume copies of data from your IN to your OUT. Once
the job is done, you have 2 full copies of the data, on

the ticket and as part of my opening documentation, I mentioned that I have an
SVC dump of the offending product that I can send them if the

My questions are for validation of what I think would happen with various

Hmm, mine works on a screen-by-screen basis. So if you have one upside down,

62x160, 27x132, 24x80. Like others, I prefer to use a "non-standard" screen
size (the 62x160 is what I use mostly) but I have a couple applications that
only support the mod2-5 scenario so I normally have 2 sessions running all the

Actually I think IBM System i is still valid. Yes, back around the 2008
timeframe, IBM merged their iSeries and pSeries (IIRC) hardware into the power
line, so now both System i and System p run on the same hardware line (I don't
remember if they are identical up to the OS or if they run differ
