Re: How to find the Global zone names in SMP/E via REXX

Yes indeed. The DSNames would not be those of the original DDDEFs, but of the UCLIN REP[laced] ones - after a cloned CSI has been updated to point at them. E.g. //SMPCNTL DD * SET BOUNDARY(GLOBAL)

Isn't that the point of getting a file allocation report with every SMP run? Adam Sent from my iPhone On Aug 9, 2017, at 7:58 PM, Edward Gould wrote: >> On Aug 9, 2017, at 4:34 PM, Paul Gilmartin >> <000433f07816-dmarc-requ...@listserv.ua.edu> wrote: >> >>> On

Re: How to find the Global zone names in SMP/E via REXX

FWIW Any SMP/E PGM=GIMSMP (or any other PGM=) in batch TSO can be executed in REXX. All that is required is that the DDNames and datasets be allocated - either as preallocated SMPPLOG, SMPPTFIN, SMPHOLD etc. in the CSI's GLOBAL, TLIB and/or DLIB zones, or as 'ALLOC etc.' overrides - and then

Re: How to find the Global zone names in SMP/E via REXX

You will not get any argument from me about GIMAPI being "REXX Hostile," but that is why I mentioned the CBTTAPE, I believe more than one person has created the interface between REXX and GIMAPI, to let REXX work with it. Al Nims UFIT University of Florida (352) 273-1298 @Home -Original

Re: How to find the Global zone names in SMP/E via REXX

Have a look at the catalog interface (sys1.samplib(IGG*)). They use rexx to invoke the utility. I believe same way can br used with the smpe api. I once tried that, but didn't have the time to complete the work... ITschak On Tue, Aug 8, 2017 at 10:07 PM, Paul Gilmartin <

Re: How to find the Global zone names in SMP/E via REXX

It is documented in "SA23-2276-02 SMP/E for z/OS Reference" look for GIMAPI, on the CBTTAPE are some routines that provide an interface between REXX and GIMAPI. "Overview of GIMAPI GIMAPI is a program (load module) provided with IBM SMP/E for z/OS, V3R6 that can be called by a user-written
