I don't recall coding V=R for any address space, but when we first got into internal DR via XRC between data centers around Y2K, we were forced to carve out DR LPARs from existing production boxes. We would configure storage offline from a large production LPAR in order to IPL DR LPARs in the

Thanks for chiming in Tom. Using a COBOL "stub" as a top-level main program would certainly be simpler from a structural standpoint, but because we are an old and quite large shop there are many dozens (in some cases hundreds) of JCL's that would have to be changed to invoke the stub routine

Just averted a near disaster, a mid-day IPL of 4 LPARs, with a STC filling up the spool with 10B bytes of data because the ESTBYTE limit was not turned on for termination, OPT=1. But would it have done anything anyway for a STC or does it just apply to batch and APPC. The manual is silently

The EST Byte, Line, Page can be dynamically changed. The simplest way to avoid an IPL (and JES2 just stops when spool is full - but will respond to commands like PURGE) Is to cycle the STC, add another spool volume, or see what is really going on. If the STC is filling up spool, it needs to
