Since the OP did not explain exactly what he wanted to do, only that he was using the examples in the DFP manual, and everyone else was throwing out various processes, I just thought I would toss in TSO XMIT/RECEIVE. If the intent is backup and transfer the data to another location, this is a good tool. And I was hoping the OP would then clarify what exactly was the requirement. From the posting he was using example 8 and 9 From the manual: Example 8 This uses an UNLOADED PDS to load back into a PDS //LOAD JOB ... //STEPAEXEC PGM=IEBCOPY //SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=A //SYSUT1 DD DSNAME=UNLOADSET,UNIT=tape,LABEL=(,SL), // VOL=SER=TAPE01,DISP=OLD //SYSUT2 DD DSNAME=DATASET4,UNIT=disk,VOL=SER=222, // DISP=(NEW,KEEP),SPACE=(CYL,(10,5,10)) //SYSUT3 DD DSN=TEMP1,UNIT=disk,VOL=SER=11, // DISP=(NEW,DELETE),SPACE=(80,(15,1)) //SYSINDD DUMMY /* Example 9 members are selected, excluded, unloaded, loaded, and copied.

Re: how to know who use system symbols
As has been posted, there is no way truly to know. Anyone could use any of your symbols at any time for any reason that they so choose. The most common usages that come to mind are within system commands, parmlib processing, catalog entries, and the proc for started tasks/jobs (where the system, with a few exceptions, will do the processing automatically). But any application (or system code) may use routine ASASYMBM to perform system symbol substitution. The places that have been mentioned are all good places to look if you're searching for likely uses. I'm guessing that the creator of the symbol did not comment on why they wanted the symbol and you'd like to get rid of unused symbols. The system really cannot help you.

Re: Restoring a VSAM dataset in Production
You may not like the answer, but I spent a lot of time encouraging IBM to add the functionality of being able to rename a VSAM data set when restoring from a physical backup, and they did add this functionality to z/OS 2.1. If you're not at this release yet, you will have to do the following: 1. On a non-production system, such as a systems programming sandbox, vary the drive from which the backup was taken offline. 2. Clip a spare volume and give it the same volume serial as the original volume. 3. Execute a DFSMSdss RESTORE FULL command to restore the entire volume. At this point the restored VSAM data set will be accessible. You can rename it, move it to another volume, and then throw away the volume you just restored. -- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN

If you could elaborate just a bit on what batch jobs means here, that'd be great. The answer(s) depend in part of what sort of batch jobs are involved.

Re: Restoring a VSAM dataset in Production
Are you saying the backup is a logical backup rather than a physical one? If so, you can simply do a restore of the dataset using the RENUNC parameter to rename it to the appropriate name to get restored onto your restore volume. If it was a physical backup and you are not on z/OS 2.1 as Peter pointed out, you cannot rename a VSAM dataset on a restore.

Steve, I did a fast check by trying to do a TSO SUBMIT command from a UNIX shell. Which is effectively what Java is doing.

I've periodically commented that a senior disk engineer in the late 80s had got a talk scheduled for the communication group, annual, worldwide, internal conference supposedly on the subject of 3174 performance, but opened the talk with the statement that the communication group was going to be responsible for the demise of the disk division. The issue was the communication group had stranglehold on the datacenter and was fighting off distributed computing and client/server, attempting to preserve their dumb terminal paradigm and install base. The disk division was seeing the effects of data fleeing the datacenter to more distributed computing platforms with drop in disk sales. The disk division had come up with a number of solutions to address the opportunity, but they were constantly being vetoed by the communication group (which had corporate strategic ownership for everything that crossed the datacenter walls) old 13 baby blue article (28Dec1982) http://web.archive.org/web/20101120231857/http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,977353,00.html we had left, but we got a call if we would work as consultants inventorying all the interdivision MOUs ... lots of things that would have to turn into contracts between independent companies (including things like one division had contract with supplier and another division was making use of that same contract).

Re: Now IEBGENER, Was Help with IEBCOPY?
Dear Group, Thank you for the discussion on this. I started trying to look into writing a REXX exec to select my KEY input and build the dataset members needed to continue. I used to do this using the ISPF panels by hand. I thought the panel was using IBM code. But I was told it was not and we did something so it was this way. Thank you for pointing out that using IEBCOPY with REXX also pulled in some other vendor software. I can read the same file in and massage my key for each need. I usually build two members that have the same information in two different formats that are static and I can go back and reference. So, after consideration. I will go back to REXX EXECIO. I need to massage the data anyway. It will run two steps, reading the same file twice, but creating different outputs. I learned more about the MVS utilities :) Was wondering if IEBGENER allowed creating two members from the same input data, in one step. IEBGENER appears to not loop back to the top to re-evaluate (edit) the same input data. Amazing how copy and sort can lead down so many paths. Need more GOBACK commands :) Thanks again for sharing your knowledge and thoughts with me, Dave -Original Message- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU] On Behalf Of Paul Gilmartin Sent: Thursday, March 20, 2014 10:48 AM To: IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU Subject: Re: Now IEBGENER, Was Help with IEBCOPY?

Re: AW: DSNTYPE?
Thanks Christian, but it's not quite what I'm looking for. What I guess I should ask is where does the information contained in the SYSDSSMS and SYSSEQDSNTYPE variables returned by the LISTDSI function in REXX come from? Or the corresponding information in the DATASET INFORMATION panel of ISPF? They both seem to produce similar results (although the ISPF panel seems to do it more consistently).

Thank you for pointing out that using IEBCOPY with REXX also pulled in some other vendor software. I can read the same file in and massage my key for each need. I usually build two members that have the same information in two different formats that are static and I can go back and reference. So, after consideration. I will go back to REXX EXECIO. I need to massage the data anyway. It will run two steps, reading the same file twice, but creating different outputs. I learned more about the MVS utilities :) Was wondering if IEBGENER allowed creating two members from the same input data, in one step.

Dynamic VIPA and Sysplex Distributor - Question
Dear VIPA Gurus, We are playing with dynamic VIPA and sysplex distributor on z/OS V1R13. The Network guy is puzzled with some of this and I think I got enough information from him. External users use the same VIPA to access our application no matter where it runs. Application runs in one place at a time. When the application started task tries to come up, it is managed by this routing thing (the heart of the DVIPA and sysplex distributor management which runs on one of our LPARs). The Network guy showed me some stuff on how he set this up on VTAM for TCP and IIRC he correlated the VIPA address with some kind of IP Address that wasn't the VIPA or the raw interface IP Address. Q). Should the application on the host side default to the IP Address of the stack, or should the application on the host side be configured with the DVIPA? Q). Would these IP Addresses that correlate to the DVIPA be used on the host side behind the router? Would one of these addresses be what I should configure for our application with on the host side? Q). Any experiences anyone would like to share? Thank you, Dave -- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN

It's better than IDCAMS REPRO because no control statements are required. Just JCL.

Re: Java -Xdump:tool option on z/OS
How hard can this be I ask myself...a good while later
1. So it's much easier to see results in batch .
//UNIX EXEC PGM=BPXBATCH,PARM='SH /u/hanko/runhe.sh'
//STDOUTDD SYSOUT=*
//STDERRDD SYSOUT=*
2. It's much easier trying not to resolve the battle of the quotes. exec
string needs to be quoted and then so do the arguments for tso and tsocmd
. And the submit !! Who is doing the parsing when ? I give up .
So what I came up with is
events=vmstart,exec=tsocmd 'MSUB' HelloWorld ===MSUB is CAPS ON !
in a shell script that also specifies the following env variables
export sysexec=alloc da('HANKO.BPXBATCH.EXEC') shr
export TSOALLOC=sysexec
(I think TSOALLOC is redundant but included for completeness)
and then member MSUB looks like
/* Rexx */
submit 'hanko.pdscntl(iefbr14)'
and that all works ...hope it does for you.
Hank

Re: Now IEBGENER, Was Help with IEBCOPY?
An interesting process might be to write a REXX using ISPF LM functions. You can have a panel prompt for your user, and selection info. Then use ISPF To save members You can read and write members once you get use to the process. It might be very helpful to invoke ISPF, unless you are going to use this as a Batch process. You can still write it with ISPF LM functions, just some considerations have to be kept in mind.

Dear Group, Thank you for the discussion on this. I started trying to look into writing a REXX exec to select my KEY input and build the dataset members needed to continue. I used to do this using the ISPF panels by hand. I thought the panel was using IBM code. But I was told it was not and we did something so it was this way. Thank you for pointing out that using IEBCOPY with REXX also pulled in some other vendor software. I can read the same file in and massage my key for each need. I usually build two members that have the same information in two different formats that are static and I can go back and reference. So, after consideration. I will go back to REXX EXECIO. I need to massage the data anyway. It will run two steps, reading the same file twice, but creating different outputs. I learned more about the MVS utilities :) Was wondering if IEBGENER allowed creating two members from the same input data, in one step. IEBGENER appears to not loop back to the top to re-evaluate (edit) the same input data. Amazing how copy and sort can lead down so many paths. Need more GOBACK commands :) Thanks again for sharing your knowledge and thoughts with me, Dave -Original Message- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU] On Behalf Of Paul Gilmartin Sent: Thursday, March 20, 2014 10:48 AM To: IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU Subject: Re: Now IEBGENER, Was Help with IEBCOPY?

Re: DSNTYPE?
For SYSDSSMS: Value PDSE probably comes from bits DS1PDSE and DS1PDSEX in DS1SMSFG. Value PDS probably comes from bit DS1DSGPO in DS1DSORG. Value SEQ probably comes from bit DS1DSGPS in DS1DSORG. I didn't see an obvious source for the other possible values. For SYSSEQDSNTYPE: Value LARGE probably comes from bits DS1LARGE in DS1FLAG1. Value EXTENDED probably comes from bits DS1EATTR in DS1FLAG1. Value BASIC probably is the default if neither of the above applies. :: -Original Message- :: From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU] On :: Behalf Of Earl Hodil :: Sent: Thursday, March 20, 2014 11:21 AM :: To: IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU :: Subject: Re: AW: DSNTYPE? :: :: Thanks Christian, but it's not quite what I'm looking for.
