Hi all, There is actually a Health Check for Parmlib called ICE, but it's developed and marketed by NewEra Software. See http://www.newera-info.com. They have wonderful products, and their customers rave about them. If you're not familiar with their website, check it out for a lot of free

Re: ESD info using ENTRY name

You need to get the EPTOKEN for the load module via the CSVQUERY service and then use that on the IEWBIND FUNC-NCLUDE,INTYPE=TOKEN call. This is required because IEWBIND has to read the pieces of the load module that aren't required for execution. ==

Re: Comments in SYS1.PARMLIB

For years my fiercest hot button has been not structural syntax differences among components but the scurrilous practice of introducing a keyword change in one release that is incompatible with the previous release(s). Over the years we've seen this with various products/components. SMS

Re: ESD info using ENTRY name

You pass to the binder at link time options that specify WHERE and HOW the program should be loaded and reused. These are stored in the PDS(E) directory. When the program is first requested, the loader program looks at the directory entry and reads it into the specified location and executes it.

Re: Controlling allocation in IDCAMS IMPORT operation

You don't say what degree of control you need. The OUTFILE parameter of IMPORT seems to control only volser as I read TSO HELP. OUTFILE('DNAME') - SPECIFIES THE NAME OF A DD STATEMENT THAT IDENTIFIES THE VOLUME THAT IS TO

Re: Controlling allocation in IDCAMS IMPORT operation

What if you pre-allocate the output VSAM data set with the new options? I think you then use the OUTDATASET parameter and If the name of the data set that you are attempting to IMPORT "TO" is different than the EXPORTED data set, then it looks like you need to specify the NEWNAME parameter.

The inconsistent PARMLIB syntax horse escaped from the barn many years ago. I am not an IBM "insider" but it is obvious to me that re-engineering every one of the PARMLIB consumers to support a uniform (and marvelous) syntax, while maintaining backward compatibility, would have been a Sisyphean
