CA View documentation has information on how to convert output to a PDF. I don't know if an additional product is needed, but we do use it internally. It may be something you already have and can enable. https://docops.ca.com/ca-view/14-0/en/reference-miscellaneous/ca-spool-java-transformers Bob

Yes 3590 is generic rather than an esoteric that you can define at your site. If you are just referring to the data set with DISP=OLD or DISP=MOD, and not specifying "UNIT=", the system will assign the output device based on the catalog entry. This was helpful when my previous site converted

Hi Jake, I work on CA Allocate and CA Disk. From a customer perspective you can apply the compatibility PTFs for a new z/OS release to these products and continue to run on the current z/OS release. We assemble the compatibility PTFs with macros from the new release. Outside of the macros,

If a PTF has a ++DELETE, it will contain ++HOLD(sysmod-id) ... REASON(DELETE) etc. You cannot restore those PTFs. The statement will look like ++DELETE(lmodname) That is not to be confused with PTFs that delete MOD, MAC, or Data Element entries. Those would look like ++PNLENU(ABC) DELETE

Hi John, The easiest way to "re-duplex" would be to run MERGE, using the duplex volume as input. You would specify the original volume key. The merge process will see that the primary volume is disabled, so it will use the duplex volume as input to the merge. It will create a new duplex as

The SMPLOG should be allocated to a VB sequential data set with a DISP=MOD and LRECL=510. We rarely ask for SMPLOG but it is helpful in some situations to see the sequence of action when a customer has a question. SMPLOG in the sysout is only semi-readable since the data and time stamps are not
