Re: Z/VM - Clear a console system spool on Z/VM

Hi John, Thank you for your answer. I contact Joao by e-mail about this issue, also. I had already given the command CP SPOOL CONS CLOSE But I saw no effect and the 'full console spool' message continued to occur. Then I found commands and tried to clean and nothing happened. Thank you. Ana

Re: Using JCL Symbld and TYPRUN=SCAN

Actually, the upshot is exactly not that. Symbols in SYSIN are always resolved when requested by SYMBOLS=. The program that reads that SYSIN never sees any symbols. The 2nd parm of SYMBOLS is a DDname for a substitution report. I would have assumed you'd get that regardless, but evidently, the

Re: Using JCL Symbld and TYPRUN=SCAN

I think the upshot here is that support for symbols in *data* is a function of the program being executed. The 'system' will resolve symbols encountered in JCL, but the 'application' has to resolve symbols read from, say, SYSIN. That's why TYPRUN=SCAN will not show resolved symbols in data: the
