NJE via SNA/EE

2020-09-16 Thread Barbara Nitz
Between the production and AD sysplex there had historically been an NJE connection. Originally that was NJE/SNA. A few years ago that stopped working (I was told due to misconfiguration of EE), so NJE was switched to NJE/TCP. At the same time NJE/TCP connections were defined to the three other

This is almost always a problem with the VTAM definition of the NJE applid that you are using. Possibly you didn't start it or it was started before VTAM or JES was ready for it to be started. The NJE/TCP connection method should work out much better than the SNA method, but there is no

It's not clear what you're asking. There have been two answers to possible interpretations of the question, both appropriate. By "moved", do you mean copying an entire target and target zone, or copying libraries without copying the target zone recording their status? -- Shmuel (Seymour J.)

Not sure how a sequential file has a "KEY". It may be a value in fixed columns. I'm sure it's why we've been sorting files for donkeys years. On Thu, Sep 17, 2020 at 8:53 AM Sri h Kolusu wrote: > > With DFSORT/SYNCSORT in mind, possibly a two-step process where the > > first step interrogates

I'm not quite understanding how that could work with current SORT software. E.G., if there are 100 records to be selected in the first 100,000 records and none after that, the relative record number would be 10 for the SORT STOPAFT, not exactly what was requested. SORT JOIN can do the

I agree with Christopher. I designed an Assembler Macro that built an exit exit module. A few seconds to Assemble. GET on a sequential file, pass to sort if required. RC = 8 when you get past the desired key value. Of course if you are not sorting, add a PUT instead of a return. On Thu, Sep 17,

For unordered data you need to read every record to have that feature. If you have the resources, put it into a DB2 table and apply deltas to the table. Or a VSAM KSDS. On Thu, Sep 17, 2020 at 8:36 AM Scott Barry wrote: > With DFSORT/SYNCSORT in mind, possibly a two-step process where the first

In short-speak, yes. A user can use his own catalog rather than the master catalog, howbeit via the MCAT's then containing an entry pointing at the user's logon ID as an hlq (or similar) in the user's UCAT. Anything can be done with a bit of frigging around. But the question is, why and is it
