Thanks Robert and enrico.

Thanks for your answer Robert but the ink did not open for me. If you can attach the file or share the link again, may be it will work for me.

Thanks.... i'll come back with some more research.

Or on the site of any other mainframe manufacturer?

Thanks. I understand different sites won't allow to understand their charge back models but are there some example of these charge back models on IBM site?

Thanks!

Big-data is fad but they have a long list of tools now which are way different than mainframes and it all sound like a very good effort to learn it all. But thanks for your words.

Will a cloud or Big data certificate along with mainframe knowledge be a good combination for future job requirements?

Hi,

What is charge back model in mainframes? Are there are multiple type of charge back models available?
Do we have some details about it from vendors and IBM available to us? Google gives some mix answers, but in connection to mainframes how it works? Can you share thoughts please.

FBS can give you less overhead, but at the risk of "losing" data if the file is ever written to with DISP=MOD.

Sumbled upon on this topic again and I wonder what "overhaeads" we talk here, all the times?

Thanks for directing towards BPXWDYN, this is a nice tool.

Hi,

If I would like to see a strong carrer in mainframes what certification would you recommend for mainframes? Please share your thoughts.

I had been keeping away from forums but this helps.

Hi, I searched but I didn't get an answer to tell the differnce between FB/F as a COBOL programmer. When should we use which? I looked at http://publibz.boulder.ibm.com/cgi-bin/bookmgr_OS390/BOOKS/IGYA1101/4.2.2.1?DT=19930312141355" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; but the con...

I was thinking to use COBOL and did a research and came to know that you're correct. Apart from HLASM, is there no other language to support BDAM?

Hi, I think for writing records into a new BDAM file we have to initialize it, I tried initializing BDAM data set by inserting and deleting records using FILE-AID and executed the program but it fails with SYNAD error. Can anybody help in knowing how to initialize a BDAM file in general or using FIL...
