APPLY CHECK does indeed check for the existence of the directory, but it does
not check a user's permissions to update files in that directory.

Well, I am now into the realm of guessing as I didn't actually set up our CICS

I'm looking in my CSD and find a group that got installed at startup. This
group has 3 entries in it, a DB2CONN, DB2ENTRY, and DB2TRAN. Just from the

Brad that link helped for the DB2 stuff...
What I eventually found was apparently it never matter where the DB2CONN was
for the DB2ENTRY, or it figured it out somehow.
That doesn't work anymore, What I had to do was change the order of my group

Any ideas about the DB2CONN and TCBLIMIT? Could that be a bad definition

Without in the least wishing to opine on the question itself, I just got an
email from a recruiter looking for a number of skills of which assembler was
listed first. Some of the description:

educational, it is not always simple.

Ok, I guess I could call that reverse engineering. I might also call
that just documentation, but doc made purposely to rework the processing
into another language/platform.

At a guess, people from other parts of the world than the USA. They still
actively teach and use “old languages” in some places out there, so there is a
larger quantity of talent (though I could not say at what experience level).

For MVS datasets the server type needs to be MVS and you need to define a Site

Likewise you will need a separate Site for USS files.
