Getting a VOLSER for a disk that is a member of a copy pair

I have a program that reads VOLSERS for offline volumes. It works fine for several flavors of VM and Z/OS, and returns the data in a few MS. But takes a minute when issued to a device in a copy pair. If I issue it a second time, it runs fast, so I suppose it could be coming from CACHE or some

Re: Reason for PDS corrupted

It used to be when you saw something like this that the library was in the linklist so the deb for that library was obtained at IPL TIME. If during the course of the day a linkedit is done and the updated module went into the new extent and that extent is not in the original deb and you get the

Re: ISPF packed member question

If you know what you are searching for, you can enter the name of the PDS in the 3.4 screen. When you see the member list enter SRCHFOR on the command line and all members that contain that search string will be highlighted. For example if you are looking for the name BILL in all members

Re: curious: Popularity & use of C on z/OS.

Accessing offline Volumes

I have a program that accesses offline volumes to report on the volser. It works fine for both VM and MVS volumes, but occasionally, It takes a long time or doesn't return the volser. I suspect it is a dual copy volume being used for Volume Migration, with a PACE(0) set which does not allow

Re: Would encryption have prevented known major breaches?

What if your data was encrypted, you read it into a sort, put the sort output to a data set where it was NOT encrypted, and someone copied it? Or, they got it from sort work areas that were left on disk and not erased? Does that count? Bill From: IBM

The choices you get are UPDATE AND RESTART or UPDATE AND SHUTDOWN. But you must install the updates. I learned later after having numerous crashes that you can set the METERED CONNECTION and it will stop the automatic updates. But even that comes with some quirks. For example, I set it on my
