Count with no Data and no Key ? (CKD internals again)

Is it allowed in CKD to have Count only in a physical record? I mean Count field with zero-length Data (and zero-length Key). -- Radoslaw Skorupka Lodz, Poland == -- Treść tej wiadomości może zawierać informacje

Re: Any issues with $ACTIVATE,LEVEL=Z22 command

So my summary of everyone's responses is that we need to do the $TSPOOLDEF command and then give it a couple/few minutes, and then do the $ACTIVATE command. And there were a couple of bad pickle jokes as well :-). Thanks -Original Message- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List

Re: Count with no Data and no Key ? (CKD internals again)

You can have a zero length key and data, it is called an End Of File (EOF) marker. Chris Blaicher Technical Architect Mainframe Development P: 201-930-8234 | M: 512-627-3803 E: cblaic...@syncsort.com Syncsort Incorporated 2 Blue Hill Plaza #1563 Pearl River, NY 10965 www.syncsort.com Data

Re: Any issues with $ACTIVATE,LEVEL=Z22 command

I think you should be OK, I'm not sure how many systems are in your MAS or even if you talking a JES2 MAS but the response to the JES2 $TSPOOLDEF should be almost immediate. I hate pickles, I've had a few, :( last one was once my 2 prod LPARS were joined in a MAS we had a CPC memory upgrade

Re: Two summer time change questions

It depends. If you have an external time source (or the hardware STP feature), this is probably automatic. Check your CLOCKxx members in SYS1.PARMLIB. The other alternative is to manually issue a SET TZ command at the appropriate time (either by automation or human). For the record, all of

I installed kc4z in our z/OS 2.3 sandbox system, started up Softcopy Librarian and downloaded the z/OS 2.3 collection. So far, so good. How do I get other KnowledgeCenter content? The default source URL (http://publib.boulder.ibm.com) only show z/OS, z/OS connect and CICS TS. Where do I find

Re: Count with no Data and no Key ? (CKD internals again)

I seriously doubt that; it would generate a Unit Exception trying to read the second record of the member. You're clearly misinterpreting something. There is a EOF after the directory and an EOF after each member. There is no EOF in the middle of a member. -- Shmuel (Seymour J.) Metz

Re: Count with no Data and no Key ? (CKD internals again)

I just found that in PDS every (?) data record is interleaved with null record (count, no key, no data). More precisely: null record is at the end of directory and between all member records, even for members occupying several records. So PDS contains multiple EOFs, even more than one EOF per

Yes - Kirk, I abbreviated a little - you got the case exactly. I meant the PID file in something like /var/run Jerry Whitteridge Delivery Manager - Safeway 602 527 4871 Mobile jerry.whitteri...@ibm.com IBM Services IBM Mainframe Discussion List wrote on 02/22/2018

Jerry, This PID (z/OS Unix Process id) ? This sounds odd, since I would assume that each new dubbed process gets the next available pid. Perhaps you are referring to a "pid file" which is just file, say in /var/run which tracks which pid is being used for a certain kind of daemon. Can you

Re: Two summer time change questions

The most important question is whether your LPAR(s) are running with true GMT/UTC. It was once customary for shops to set both GMT and Local time to a nearby wall clock and specify zero Local offset. Over time most shops have hopped on to the straight and narrow path by defining GMT as UTC with
