Hi Peter,
for building a one pack system you need a very deep understanding in various
zos areas (like BCP, RACF, JES, Compile, aso.). Of course what is needed in
such a system is dependent on what you want what your system should do when it
gets IPL'ed. We have a software that maintain, build

Are there any possibilities of converting TEXT file to XMIT format. Since

Has anyone recovered the TEXT file to XMIT ?

Thank you for correcting me, and clarifying.

Are you trying to say that the file was FTP'd in Ascii mode rather than

If so, you will need to convert from ebcdic back to ascii and strip out
inserted line endings etc
This may well prove to be impossible as the binary file will undoubtedly
contain cr lf characters of it's own.

If you mean that they FTP transferred an XMIT file via an intermediate system
which was ASCII based (such as Windows) and forgot to do a BINary transfer at
some stage, you are out of luck. The problem is that, in general, if you do an

Are the volume serial numbers in the TCDB? I.e. the SMS Tape Control Data Base,

No my TCDB is okay, so both CA-1 and OAM know that the tape is private
and where it is. My problem is with MVS. Define nonvsam makes it a
non-sms entry in the MVS catalog and when I try to run the Alter command
to roll it back into the gdg base, it fails and tells me I can rollin an

I can read the dataset just fine by asking for it by complete name, what I need

But in today's world, without SCRATCH in the definition, the oldest GDG does
not get scratched. It gets rolled off the GDG base and becomes a normal
cataloged dataset entry. So it stays in the catalog, and can be referenced by
absolute name. I wonder if this would ever be of some use to
With the SCRATCH set you can write it to tape with a tape retention of the
number of years for the tape to be kept for a similar result. You either
need the tape volser to access it, or you need to catalog it without
rolling it in. This will avoid the generation wrap around that is likely

The V00 allows you to fix a dataset and replace it with V01. Lets say you

From a vague memory, the Vnn was to be used if you had to do a file fix type
operation and recreate a specific generation. The system did not help with a
way to do this, but if you did it yourself by deleting the V00 version and the
cataloguing a V01 (and now-a-days do a ROLLIN), you could
