I used to type JCLERROR or similar at the top of a proc I didn't want started. Like Steve said, this was typically because I was doing some work on the task in the middle of the night and I didn't want another sysprog (or more likely automation) starting it up until I was done. Auditors were

Mike, Alan, and Ed, Thanks for your suggestions. I'm retired, so really have no need for compression. What I am doing is trying to help Don Higgins with enhancements to z390. He suggested that I start with the compression/decompression instruction. When I looked up the instruction in PofOp

You would need to look at SYSLOG and the output of the STC I would verify if the STC JCL is still available to look at after you start it and it comes down Since you did not provide any details (What is the STC, show us the JCL used) it is difficult to provide any guidance. If your STC JCL is

Hi John, Not sure what your situation is, but Ed Jaffe is quite right, the compression described in that manual is pretty awful from compaction and efficiency standpoints, and maybe the API as well, I don't recall. If you need a good x-platform data compression library that runs on z/OS,
