You might need to set MIHPTO using the FICONCUPSET command. The default is 180 seconds and it can be set using a channel command, presumably you have connection software doing this to set it to 0. The specifics are hardware dependent, for example Brocade directors. Don't casually change the

What about the more complicated case where the program associated with the RB calls a loaded module, or a module located throut, e.g., the CVT? What about an ABEND in a PC routine? Is there any reason not to use CSVQUERY on the instruction address of the appropriate PSW field? -- Shmuel

You should pass the program name or rather CSECT name as a parm that way you can compare it to CDNAME if you say the program has multiple csect then quit possibly the CDE is minor CDE if so then CDXLMJP is pointer to the next CDE not xlst you can chain via CDXLMJP to get the load module CDE name

You need to check the SDWANAME ( hope I spelled it right) I believe if the second 4 bytes is 0 i.e. you have a rb then you would need to obtain the entry point from CDE When the second 4 bytes is 0 then first 4 bytes is a RB check the corresponding RBCDE to see if CDENAME is you program name (if

Brian, You do not need any other software. Only other thing you need is subscription to cloud storage e.g. Amazon S3. Using VTE (CTC virtual tape) component is quite helpful to manage and tracking. It can be integrate with your existing Tape management software e.g. CA1, RMM etc. Thanks,
