Hello: The manual “MVS Programming: Assembler Services Guide” Chapter 8. “Providing recovery” explains that an ESTAE that is called with the ‘SDWACLUP’ bit on can only ‘percolate’ (SETRP RC=0). It further explains that if you do attempt a ‘retry’ (SETRP RC=4) , the retry will be ignored. I

Sorry, I tried to type "PDS(E)" but the "(E)" became a Euro symbol in my mail client. PDS/E was a substitute name, not a product. I should have switched the format to plain text. But the question still remains -- Where (if anywhere) is an EPA indicator in the returned Binder API data? I know

I didn't notice anyone asking (or answering preemptively) the question of what IND$FILE is or how it works. First off, it is not a 'file transfer tool' like FTP or SFTP. It is a program that spoofs 3270 terminal data entry to up or download data. There's a component on mainframe and another on
