That doesn't sound promising. My thought was to use the environment development (Cobol and some Assembler), target CICS with VSAM and DB2. This is a RACF shop with third party SCM. Then the developers might get better response time for their development and test batch jobs. I certainly would not e

As David says. You need the RSED server/Daemon running. Also make sure your TCPIP profile has the ports enabled. If you are using CICS Explorer, you'll need the ports and TCPIPService configured too. It's not a trivial task to set all this up. You will need to configure some BPX.** FACILITY classe

You can use ISPF =3.2 to check how many directory blocks are currently allocated to your PDS, and use PDSMAN (if you have it) to allocate more directory blocks.   You can run PGM=IEBGENER, pointing SYSUT1 at the PDS and SYSUT2 at a sequential output dataset (with RECFM=FB, LRECL=256, and [it used

For member count, yes; the GET_ALL function even when applied to a PDS returns # DESB's, 1 DESB per member, assuming just one PDS is allocated in a DD. No way to get maximum directory blocks (which is unlimited for PDSE after all). So Kirk and Shmuel are both correct, the only and easiest way
