How about doing a portion of the dataset, FTP the result, delete the intermediate file. Repeat for each segment. I. E. last 1 or 2 digits of an account number, etc. Using the high order digits could lead to some groups being pretty large, I.E. SS#s. Or X number of records. 2nd run skip X,

I totally agree with the dismay expressed at omission of 9672/9674. I've only been in this biz since the late 70s, but I was blown away at the architectural upheaval represented by the move from bipolar to CMOS. Yet the 9672 still ran decades-old programs without even recompile, let alone

Sad. It's my observation that the best person to create the PowerExchange maps is someone who knows the mainframe data. But if they won't let you or another mainframer do it, and they won't / can't do it themselves, well it sounds like they are once again screwing themselves. (Do you have

After migrating to zOS 2.2, a vendor-customized IEFACTRT routine started getting 0c4, 071, and 822 abends in certain highly-used initiators. We discovered that the vendor portion was supposed to have been removed prior to 2.2 so we removed their custom module. Abends still occurred. We

I had thought that the 3890 check sorter used a S/3 CPU because of right-left movement (which those machines did). As I recall, with SCI code, one had to think the reverse of what a S/360 did in a move. Granted, I didn't do very much 3890 programming, but I did a lot of CPCS programming to

Re: thoughts on z/OS ftp server enhancement.

There is a true ETL tool component, PowerExchange by Informatica that allows the actual ETL Tool (PowerCenter) to read IMS and VSAM files as if they were relational tables. In general I would recommend this, but I don't have a sense of the "permanence" of the process you are concerned about.

Hi Victor. Why should it be a problem state program? the idea is a single load, many reads, isn't it? after IPL, run a STC to load the data and create the name-token pair. later on, all users can access the data. As I wrote in my original response, there are several product that does that
