Re: SVC 99 unallocating a concatenated dataset
I guess my question is how is to be processed? Do you need the filename the record came from Do you just need go through all the files looking for something specific? Are these files GDGs or does the name vary or is there a common mask Depending on the answers, you could look at using a utility (like DFSORT) to grab what you need You could create a do loop in REXX to read your datasets by Mask - then pass to your process Many options could be available depending on what the intent of this process is, and what kind of data is being passed Lizzette -Original Message- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List On Behalf Of Joseph Reichman Sent: Thursday, October 1, 2020 1:00 PM To: IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU Subject: Re: SVC 99 unallocating a concatenated dataset Not familiar with BPXDYN In light of this I think I’m going to re-phrase My question I have to process ( read ) 4,471 Files with a 100 file concatenation limit What would be the best method ?

Re: syslogd configuration questions regarding splitting out logging
Hi. When you connect to ftp server, ftpd1 spawn a ftpd2, 3, 4... or _bpx_jobname if configured. As soon as the user/pwd is entered and verified the (same) address space is renamed to userid-n. This is the reason why you see the majority of messages in tcpip.log instead ftp.log. -- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN

Re: SVC 99 unallocating a concatenated dataset

Re: DFDSS support for ZFS files query
If you fork pax then I think this would mean DSS would be invoking access methods to perform the backup. DSS has used lower level processes to perform backups up to now. I mention this because it has a big impact on the way that data is processed when the data is encrypted. Currently DSS backs up encrypted data without invoking the access methods, thus never needing access to encryption keys. By working at block level, data sets can be moved, backed up, migrated, recalled without ever accessing the true data.

Re: Working link for current 3270 Data Stream
I remember that printing BOO was the worst thing available. It was acceptable when you wanted to print a page, but chapter was horribly formated. I always kept PDF collection as possible source to print the book. And actually I still use last (z/OS 1.13) BOO collection. I use more recent books only when I have to, because of new features, etc. Yes, I want BOO back. -- Radoslaw Skorupka Lodz, Poland W dniu 29.09.2020 o 18:43, Tony Thigpen pisze: I am running IBMs Book Reader under CrossOver under Linux.

Strange COBOL 6.2/3 problem: BASIS/COPYLOC/PDS fails
It appears to me that COBOL 6.2 or 6.3 fails a BASIS statement if there is
any COPYLOC in effect and SYSLIB is a PDS, but not if SYSLIB is a PDSE.
The error is IGYLI0053-U A library read error occurred during "BASIS"
processing. No member was found or there was a bad block.
//S1 EXEC PGM=IGYCRCTL,PARM='COPYLOC(MYUNIX,PATH("valid.unix.path")'
//SYSLIB DD DSN=PDS(E) containing GCOPYA,DISP=SHR
//SYSIN DD *
BASIS GCOPYA
/*
// remaining COBOL compile JCL
Above works if SYSLIB is a PDSE but fails if it is a PDS. Works either way
if you remove the COPYLOC. COPY seems to work okay; only BASIS seems to
fail.
Just tried a COPYLOC with a DSN rather than a PATH and it still fails.
Would be curious what others think or if anyone wanted to try to duplicate.
This is in Dallas so no ability to open a PMR.

Re: FTPS Handshake Error

I had to do the REFRESH to the DIGTCERT class after adding the cert and keyring

was probably for the DIGTRING--I'm lazy and just duplicated the line).
Also, don't miss the part in the previous post about telling the policy agent

Let me guess, is it an RSUyynn sourceid? The only way to propagate the sourceid to the target zone after the fact is manually, using UCLIN: SET BDY(targetZoneName). UCLIN. ADD SYSMOD(ptfName) SOURCEID(sourceidValue). ENDUCL. By the way, why do you want/need to carry the sourceid into the target zone? Also, your specified APPLY command will APPLY PTFs and *APARs* that have not already been applied and are applicable to the target zone. Obviously you have none that meet this criteria.

I did an ORDER-ALL today for zos 2.3 & got 490 PTFs more than I got 2 weeks ago for RECOMENDED. 20 of them has RSU2008, 391 had PUT. So if I apply RSU**, I'll miss 391+ PTFs. How do you guys do apply, srcid(PUT)? IBM's, and my personal recommendation, is to apply SOURCEID(RSU*). Order ALL, as there is no harm in having a PTF in your hands, but APPLY SOURCEID(RSU*). PTFs which have not yet been assigned an RSU* sourceid are not yet recommended by IBM. The time line in which a PTF gets recommended depends on a number of factors which you identified, but even the low severity PTFs will eventually be recommended, after it goes through IBM's Consolidated Service Test cycle. It is usually ~90 days, but depending on schedules it can take up to ~180 days for a given PTF.

usleep() returns -1 and sets errno to EINVAL which is the usual C semantics.
FWIW, usleep() has been deprecated for nanosleep() on most UNIX-like
platforms. The z/OS C/C++ RTL does not provide nanosleep() but it's
trivial to roll your own.

if (return_code == EAGAIN && reason_code == JRTIMEOUT) {
return_code = 0;
}
if (rmtp) {
*rmtp = r;
}
return return_code;
}
This seems.poor. Anyone got any insight/guesses? Yes, I realize it's deprecated.
All I can think of is that when it was implemented in z/OS it was done
deliberately to discourage use, but I'd rather it ABENDed than just returning
instantly and causing a spin, personally.
