I rarely take sides in what end up to be political arguments about
programming languages. I like them all.
That said, as a pure statement of fact, both Java and COBOL are
object-oriented. There's Object Oriented COBOL, and it has been available
in IBM's COBOL compilers for more than a decade now.
To clarify, FDREPORT is included as a standard feature of ABR but is

Hi,
We are hopefully going from a z9 to z10 processor.
I would like to have 4 CP's instead of our current 2 CP's so our
configuration is more flexible. We are not worried about licensing costs
of multiple processors. The overall MIPage would be the same, whether we
have 2 or 4 CP's
Anybody see
We've solved the problem. The main topics below:
- Define a separate user catalog with alias with the special dataset
(CAT.USUARIO.MIGHP).
- Define in profile user catalog access list NONE to operation user (T99CTM).
- Define a group (MPRO02) with a same HLQ of dataset
- Define a profile dataset
Jorge,
It is not clear you fully understood Walt's advice. Assuming PR002 is a
group, try connecting T99CTM to it with USE authority (the default) as shown
below. This should prevent Control-M from creating the dataset. Before
testing, remove WARNING from the profile.
