'Override' libraries give me the willies. War story. Shortly after I started here, VTAM would not come up one Sunday after a maintenance IPL. Turned out that some modified VTAM module(s) had been placed 'temporarily' into an override library for testing and promptly forgotten about. The perp

Re: [EXTERNAL] Re: Dynamic Steplib and z/OS 2.3?

The ad strongly implies that it would impact a successful z/OS 2.3 migration. I agree there is no formal support. That is also true for a lot of open source software but because it is open source it is probably better supported than some vendor software.

Re: Dynamic Steplib and z/OS 2.3?

The ad does not say they won't work anymore; just that they are unsupported. That is certainly a truism in any event for CBT software. If you're planning a z/OS migration, your CBT STEPLIB facility and CA TSOPLUS STEPLIB software is not supported, and won't easily transition to

When I used REPRO on a zFS the same size was used no matter how the TO file was set up. So I think REPRO works for a like-to-like copy. If you want to resize, you need to create a new zFS then use OMVS to cp the file with appropriate functions. cp -R -p source target This way I keep my

Yes, if I remember my timelines from when I was a contractor to the z/PET group, the BETA testers for z/OS would have had z/OS 2.3 for a couple of months by now and if the vendor signed up as a BETA tester, yes they would have z/OS 2.3 before GA. Al Nims Systems Admin/Programmer 3 UFIT
