What I actually meant is "high for this recruiter". Enterprise Solutions has mostly Indians working their phones, and I expect they hire mostly Indian contractors for low rates. I've never worked for them so I may be doing them an injustice. But the few times I've talked to one of theirs on

I want to use ECSALIMIT, which is subparameter of GLOBALCONFIG. Its purpose is clear for me - TCPIP will not exhaust all the ECSA and will not cause system outage. However... What happens when TCPIP reach the ECSALIMIT? Will the TCPIP task abend or simply some less disruptive symptoms will be

I have a req here from Enterprise solutions for an assembler programmer, paying "60-65 $/hr" on corp-to-corp. Anyone wanted a copy, let me know and I'll pass it on. I've never done business with this recruiter but I think the rate is unusual; I'm guessing they don't think they can get one of

Classification: Confidential I haven't actually experienced this, but I would expect TCPIP to cease functioning., while the rest of the system continues to function. This is almost (but not quite) as bad as a system crash, If you have a DVIPA, you could recycle the TCPIP task and the DVIPA

Apologies for the double listing to anyone who's also seen this on the JES3-L LISTSERV. The government agency that employs me has three z/OS LPARs (V2R5) running on a z15 server. The lone mainframe storage subsystem is a non-replicated, channel-attached DS8886. This has never been a JES2

Thank you very much for that explanation. The documented exception to WAITALLOC(YES) waiting is if: 1. This job (plus possibly others) have the data set as SHR, AND 2. This job is trying to upgrade from SHR to OLD I'm guessing the reason for this exception is because it would lead to
