I found a list of supported device types here
Hello friends!
I am trying to restore some files that were backed up with DFDSS some time
ago, and I am having a problem with the results.
If I let DFDSS allocate the file, I get an output file with a Blocksize of
zero, although all the space amounts are fine. I then tried to use OUTDD(),
and if
Sometimes when I run into strange issues with DFDSS, I will bring the
dataset back as a new name and then browse the file after it is restored.
If you are getting blksize 0 then maybe the file on backup is empty.
I would try creating a new file:filename.recv (I use RECV as a suffix
so I
Hi Lizette, and thanks for your note. I have done the restore with a new
name with no difference. I have also dumped the backup with IDCAMS, and I
can see the data, which looks like the right format - there is a bunch of
data as I expected.
Unfortunately, the original file is no longer available,
I suppose most of us get things off of the CBTTape.org web site by using a
desktop browser to go to the web site and save as to our PC. Then unzip
the file on our PC. Then ftp upload the XMIT file up to z/OS. I've gotten
tired of this. So I found a way to cheat. In case anyone is curious, this

If you could provide a little more detail.
Is the file being restored VSAM, SEQ, PDS, PDSE?
What will be the file attributes when restored?
When was the file last on DASD? Was there a backup then? What was the
results? Any warning messages?
When was the file backed up? What jobstream.

Sorry about the clutter in the commandsBYPASSACS is there as I was
trying to ignore the groups it was originally using and restore the file to

I cannot guarantee this will work but two things to try.
1) Preallocate the new file with your attributes. Restore to that file.
DFDSS may honor your file with the blksize you want.
2) Restore the file even if it gets a BLKSIZE of 0. Then use IEBGENER to
do the following

I know this is obvious, but I would do a backup and restore of the file (new
name) and verify it works the way it should. You should be able to do a
RESTORE without the BYPASSACS and the file should be correct.

This explains why there's no support for direct I/O for z/OS hosts to LTO, but
I could never figure out why you can't use them as stacked VTS tapes.

and/or FC 3863 is installed?

Bit 0x40 of Byte 2 of the FLCFACL field of the PSA is documented in POP as

See ancient (really old!) version of JCL manual. I don't have any here,
but my failing memory says it was used
SEP= was supposed to guarantee that the data sets were placed on SEParate

This was probably most effective if yours was the only job
running in the system at that instant.

Yes.

Maybe not a command, but I noticed these messages when I start my TN3270

Have a look at the CSFCCVT control block - described in SYS1.MODGEN.
