Re: DESERV function get DCB address
I having been using BLDL to get program directory information I found the macro to not give correct results. May I plead that posters post more than just it does not work? The actual bad result is very important to those who are listening and trying to help. Using TCBJLB as the input DCB For DESEREV I get a return code of X'0C' reason X'421' invalid DCB If any service says that an input is invalid, it is always worth eliminating the possibility that the invocation did not result in providing valid input. If a valid DCB is used, it will not indicate invalid DCB. A first guess is always that the invocation was off by a level of indirection. Not showing the expansion can lead only to conjecture on the part of the responders, as opposed to leading more directly to something helpful. As for DESERVE, it would appear that linklist DCB's don't get special treatment Both BLDL and DESERV do special-case the LNKLST DCB, at least to some extent. BLDL also special cases a value of 0.

DESERV function get DCB address
Hi, I having been using BLDL to get program directory information I found the macro to not give correct results. So I have moved on to DESERV FUNC=GET,PDSDE=BLDL_LIST unfortunately DESERV FUNC=GET needs a real DCB address as opposed to the zero used invoking BLDL Any suggestions Thanks -- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
Re: DESERV function get DCB address
Try using TCBJLB for STEPLIB DCB or CVTLINK for LINKLIST DCB. Both are GUPI.
