To do LU6.2 outside the machine don't you need an OSA card setup as OSA-E for SNA? Unless I read it wrong, IBM has a statement of direction that z16 will be the last to support OSA-E. For IND$FILE, check the terminal emulator and see if there's an option to increase the I/O block size used

Transfer from OS/390 to what? Another OS/390? Something else? For OS/390 to OS/390 can you use TSO XMIT? We used to use CA-XCOM. And before that, IBM's FTP, which has no relation to current FTP. The old FTP ran across VTAM. And is BDT (JES Bulk Data Transfer) a thing? Which reminds me, one

I know of a client that does not have a TCP/IP stack, and won't consider one (OS/390 2.10, yeah you read that right), that needs something more reliable than IND$FILE. We have a need to transfer large binary datasets, and IND$FILE is way too slow, and it often dies in the middle of a large

That is my view. The application team won't care if the application is performing slowly since this is just a functional test. It means a path to HA on the production server. And in my view it doesn't matter if the engine is an ICF of GP - the load is going to be low on it. On Thu, Mar 9, 2023

Well, the obvious solution is to always allocate an area for the maximum size. For small items use parts of one or more large areas, for large items use and release a separate area. On Wed, Mar 8, 2023 at 8:04 AM Massimo Biancucci wrote: > > Hi, > > my LE options include RPTSTG and the output
