Re: SWAREQ REXX fails with SWA=ABOVE, works with SWA=BELOW
The current CBT 183 has a fix for this. See SWAREQ22 (it was z/OS 2.2 where the breaking change was introduced.) It works on pre-2.2 as well, so there's no need to hold on to the original SWAREQ.

Bad form to reply to myself, but I should have added this. This gave me a hint: https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/abend0c4-or-other-problems-retrieving-dataset-names-cobol This gave me the answer: https://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg1PI58751 We're moving to z/OS 2.3 which was the source of the environment change. best regards, Peter On Thu, 17 Oct 2019 22:34:44 -0500, Peter Bishop wrote: >Hi, > >in case anyone else is having failures using the old SWAREQ REXX that is >floating around (originally from Gilbert Saint Flour), in our case as part of >a REXX that compares catalogues via the IGGCSI00 program and various other >methods, you will need to change your job class to SWA=BELOW to get it to work. > >After I did that, the mysterious errors relating to rubbish dataset names that >SWAREQ was returning vanished, and normal processing resumed. > >Hope this saves some time for others. > >best regards, >Peter > >-- >For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, >send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN -- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
SWAREQ REXX fails with SWA=ABOVE, works with SWA=BELOW
Hi, in case anyone else is having failures using the old SWAREQ REXX that is floating around (originally from Gilbert Saint Flour), in our case as part of a REXX that compares catalogues via the IGGCSI00 program and various other methods, you will need to change your job class to SWA=BELOW to get it to work. After I did that, the mysterious errors relating to rubbish dataset names that SWAREQ was returning vanished, and normal processing resumed. Hope this saves some time for others. best regards, Peter -- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
