COBOL optimization has always been problematic for two reasons. The less important of them is that, until now at least, some syntactically interesting features of the language have been implemented very poorly. Some COBOL EVALUATEs are, for example, functionally very like a C switch or a PL/I se

First, and not meaning to come across as nasty, you need to learn IBM COBOL. This is a very basic question. You need to read about and understand the COBOL compile option TRUNC. http://publibz.boulder.ibm.com/cgi-bin/bookmgr_OS390/BOOKS/IGY3PG31/2.4.53 *TRUNC(BIN)* The TRUNC(BIN) option applies t

Compression/compaction is done in the controller/FICON Adapter, if it is turned ON in either SMS, a parmlib member, or JCL (DBB=TRTCH=COMP). 2-3:1 is achieved on average. It's important, because it will affect the performance of the VTS, and tape usage (capacity). Roger S. -Original Messa

About RMM: No. Since the physical 3480 tape control unit, the result of the IDRC compression, done by the control unit, can be queried by the software. CA-1 does this since a long time and I understood RMM does too. This enables the tapemanagement software to record both the 100GB and the 25GB v

The compression is done after it hits the VTS, and is compressed in the disk cache. My possibly faulty memory says that it at least used to be done on the host adapter cards in the VTS (that have the FICON connection to the mainframe), but that may not be entirely accurate. But effectively: mai
