The op k e,1’d them. They did a d r,l to get the message number. I wasn’t 
watching the console that closely but the only time a op had to reply to the 
message was to bring down the job for a planned IPL.
Sometimes (if the system stayed up for that long) the jobs would run for 2-3 
weeks and we had multiple jobs running concurrently and there would be 4 or 
more wtor’s outstanding. Since the jobs were submitted by production control 
they did most of the care and feeding. BTW these were really multitasking jobs 
I looked at a dump for one of the bugs and found 31 tcb’s. I was flabbergasted 
that they did so many attach’s.

Re: PDSE V2 change the number of generations on the fly?

[Dave Salt]

Not that I'm aware of. Having said that, if a data set is selected from a 
SimpList object list using function 'I' (Information), all of the attributes of 
the data set are displayed on a panel and ANY of those attributes can be 
changed to different values. This includes changing the number of member 
generations. Depending on what's being changed the data set may need to be 
recreated, but this is all done transparently to the user.

PDSE V2 change the number of generations on the fly?

[Dyck, Lionel B. (TRA)]

So I have a PDSE V2 and it doesn't have the number of generations defined for 
it.

Is there a way, without recreating it, to alter it to change/add the number of 
generations?

Re: Release code paramter of IEAVRLS2

[Greg Dyck]

On 6/3/2016 2:24 AM, michelbutz wrote:

Does it have to be a different value on every call


If I understand your question, the answer is no.

You *might* use a different value to indicate the PET was released for a 
specific reason, such as 0 for process work, 2 for error occurred, and 3 
for terminate.  Or you could use 0 for everything except for owning 
address space termination (which is actually the design I would 
recommend) and set flags in the control block where the PET to resume 
was passed to indicate what to do.


Owning address space termination is a special case when Pause/Release is 
used between multiple address spaces (which is the best reason for using 
it), because if the owning address space terminates you need to know 
that you were released for a very abnormal reason, possibly without that 
address being able to set any flags in the control block, and handle it 
uniquely.

I don't view that as saying anything about wait/post. It is simply saying 
that transfer can be faster than pause plus release (i.e, not using 
transfer).
