Mainframe, MVS and zOS Discussion

Can TSQ also be used for the same purpose? No.  A temporary storage queue points to a location in memory -- either main memory or auxiliary memory.  A transient data queue points to a DD name that CICS manages; that DD name is usually DD SYSOUT=(A,INTRDR) to allow internal reader job submission fro...

I am trying to write a program to tes tit but I am not expert in this area. But I think calling-program->called-porgram->commit->calling-program is complete unit of work. Why only this much calling-program->called-porgram->commit is a unit of work? Please help to understand.

Sure. Thanks.

Hi,
I have a doubt for which I donot seem to find a clear cut answer. Can anyone of you please help to answer that? If a Cursor is opened without hold option in a calling program and the called program issues a commit, would the cursor be closed?

ok. I shall come back with more information.

For COBOL, I replied that we can execute a Job using the utility INTRDR. But I had nothad any idea about running a JCL from CICS. Can we do that, please tell me? Just being nitpicky - INTRDR should not be called 'utility' ...or should it be? The z/OS JES Application Programming manual refers to it ...

Thanks Robert. Can TSQ also be used for the same purpose?

This is a question I could not fully answer. It had two parts.In first part, interviewer asked me if we can submit a job using COBOL program? And in second I was asked if we can do the same using CICS program too?  The further question was, what is the way of doing these two? For COBOL, I replied th...

My job is running fine when my input file had more than 5 or 5 records, But it is giving return code 16 when less than 5 records, Is there any way to create empty records if there are no records to split it.

Hi,

I'm Niketan and I'm working with Mainframes for around 4.2 years now and my work now mostly involves leading teams I've experience with COBOL, JCL, DB2 and VSAM. Hope to learn more and help here.

Nice to meet everyone here.

I'm from Mumbai, India.

I found a reference in LinkedIn.

Hi, I am facing an issue when trying to spllit the input file into different files (say 5 files) based on number of records from input file.
