A MODEL SORT in ISPF would be good. I often use the other templates.

First, I'm impressed that your subject line has 'DFSMShsm' as opposed to DFHSM

Gil,
Doesn't this hold good for DFSORT control cards?. If you categorize DFSORT
control cards, there are just 4 of them.

I think you mean user like SooSysprog. Soo means Single Object Operations.
This is complex issue, and it is fixed in 2.15 (z15 machines) - I know
that from guy who is part of HMC/SE development team.
Regarding z14 and older HMC levels the devil is in user table.

I don't see any Multics there, and I doubt that it would be easy to port

While S/38 et al were spinoff's from אֶפֶס (FS), I don't believe that it is
accurate to say that they *were* FS.

Wayne,
Most control statements are compatible between the 2 products that are in
market today. It is just that products might have new functions that are
not supported. But there are ways to get around

Thanks Ken. I will give it a try and we are using HCD. All the CEC are in the
same HMC network. Currently, we have one HMC = one SE. Working that as well.

Jerry,
We have 5 CECs in one IODF. Are you using HCD or HMC? Either way it's
possible to combine the three IODFs into one, I would probably do one at a time.
#1) From the processor list you can COPY from the current IODF to a new
target IODF.
#2) Your SNA Network name needs to match
We currently have 3 CECs with multiple different IODFs.
Question #1) How can I do combine/move all the CECs into a single IODF?
Question #2) How can I update the CEC's IOCDS from a different CEC? What steps
are needed to run a batch job from one CEC to update another CEC?
Thanks everyone,

To be honest, there are few things which can be done on HMC only
locally. Very few.
One of them is backup on demand on local media (USB stick, DVD-RAM in
the past) and AFAIR some other activities related to external media.
However scheduled backup does work on USB stick as well as on ftp (ftps,
So not to be pedantic, but it’s the Service Element that controls whether or
not the CEC it services is in service mode, not the HMC. If indeed a CE is
performing work on the CEC that the SE controls, do you really want to be
IPLing it?
We could argue all day long. I guess the best

Well, I established it approx 19 years ago and visit HMC only for

Did you read the part in the manual about the general registers being 8

Sri,
I agree with you. However, not all z/OS shops have DFSORT, a good number
have Syncsort. I think CA-SORT has disappeared.
If all the control cards were compatible between SORT products that would
be a big help.
