REXX 'where did I come from' function?

2019-05-01 Thread Sean Gleann
Hello all I am developing a REXX that, for a number of reasons, needs to know the name of the PDS that it is stored in. The intention is that the REXX will be invoked from ISPF option 6, so typing something like: exec 'MY.REXX.LIB(TESTREXX)' 'MY.REXX.LIB' *is* an option, but one that is prone to

Does z/OS / SMS have a set of default space allocation sizes and if so, where are they held and can I alter or control them? I have a situation where insufficient contiguous disk space results in the SPACE request parameters supplied for a DISP=(NEW...) file with values that are too low to fulfil

ZFS File System SMF data synchronisation query

Wondering if anyone is doing anything with data from SMF type 92, subtypes 50-59... These subtypes are generated if IOEFSPRM specifies "smf_recording=On,", but there does not appear to be a way to synchronise the recording interval with rest of SMF data. If you know of a way to do this

Just for clarification: No, we don't IPL daily - apologies for my poor wording. My use of IEASYMU2 creates two 'new' system symbols 'PRYYMMDD' and 'PRYYDDD' after IPL, but then I change the values in those symbols at about 00:01 each day. As for "This is the sort of thing that should be routinely

@ Peter Relson Peter, you say "Adding system symbols is not something that a program should be doing". By 'a program', do you mean 'a user-written program', as opposed to a 'system utility'? I'm using IEASYMU2 on a daily basis to create (immediately after IPL) or update 2 system symbols. These

Trying to follow-up on the stuff that Peter has suggested, I'm still chasing that elusive '54M' - Who sets it? Where is it set? How can I override it? So, I created an IEFUSI that, whatever size is requested, whether it be below, above or MEMLIMIT, you get '0M'. Which, I agree, is probably a bit
