Re: dsf to write over entire volume

At my previous job, when we had to retire the P390 systems, the IT administrator had some problems to work off. So he took the 3.5 inch drives home and used his splitting ax on them over a couple of week-ends. Cheap and therapeutic. He brought one back in and they were very nicely

ISPF simple question

Hi List, I am going to show my ISPF ignorance on this question. I have a system I'm working on that has the scroll amount set to PAGE. I can change the scroll amount to CSR and it works as advertised. However, when I log off and back onto the system, it is set back to PAGE. I had thought

Re: DFHSM - ARC6030I - CAUSES ABARS TASKS TO BE HELD

Holding aggregate backup is exactly what the description of ARC6027I says should happen. Wouldn't it be better if you used the HSM CANCEL REQUEST(xx) command rather than the MVS CANCEL jobname command? :: -Original Message- :: From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List

Re: ISPF simple question

Couple of quick thoughts. - Make sure you are actually logging off and not just killing your session. Profile vars are NOT saved if you do not log off properly. - Also, check to see if there is not an initial macro running that sets that to PAGE. More likely something like this if others are

Re: 64 Bit Common Storage (was Common Data Space Basics)

I believe this resolves the confusion over MVC's not working: the MVC instruction does not allow for an Index register's being specified. Therefore the MVC, all by itself, cannot be used to access storage in a data space as, e.g., the L instruction can, since L requires an Index register to

Re: ISPF simple question

Profile vars are NOT saved if you do not log off properly. At the risk of being pedantic: 1. You don't have to log off. Just exit ISPF cleanly. OR: 2. Run a REXX exec similar to: address ISPEXEC TBSAVE ISPPROF LIBRARY(ISPPROF) Check for exact syntax - - you don't have to even leave ISPF

Re: ISPF simple question

It seems the panel isn't VPUTing the scroll variable into the PROFILE. What panel are you on; home grown? Part of regular ISPF? Vendor product? Depending on the answer, you might be able to add a VPUT to the panel and that should solve it. Dave Salt SimpList(tm) - try it; you'll get it!

Re: 64 Bit Common Storage (was Common Data Space Basics)

MVC works equally well to access data space storage or 64-bit storage. In the former case, you have to ensure that the access register(s) corresponding to the base register(s) are loaded with the correct ALET. In the latter case, you have to make sure the base register(s) contain proper 64-bit

It would have been fun to buy a z10 on eBay!! I sold one of our z890s for $1000 on eBay a few years ago. It was essentially junk and selling it was more trouble than it was worth. By the time one pays transportation charges, acquires DASD, licenses the software, and pays for power it's
