Re: format the input file if values are not given properly?
I don't have access to this site from work and needs to go to library most of the times or access it from phone. I'll look for SORT.

Re: How to get the file name?
You need to do more processing on the windows side: add the ASN to the header (there IS a header, right?), add it to the the trailer (there IS a trailer, right?) write the output of that process to a fixed filename and send it to the mainframe. The mainframe scheduler can then detect the arrival of...

I wanted to make them sorted. As the files were getting data in no order. I could use SORT job to do that.

Re: How to get the file name?
which language is this processing being done in -- C? C++? Perl? Java? COBOL? REXX? It is going to be COBOL. There is a Windows Server, where the file is sent across. I can either FTP GET those files one by one as and when they arrive or as a single file at the end of the day. GET would put them on...

How to get the file name?
Hi, For a requirement another system will be sending files to a FTP server every 15 minutes. We need to pick up the files from that server to be processed on mainframes. The file name will be an ASN number along with timestamp. I need to use ASN number in my processing but the ASN number is part of ...

Thanks Robert.
I don't have the authority to issue the D GRS command. I want to learn the ENQUEUE and DEQUEUE mechanism, is there a way I can learn it in test region without harming the existing functionality.

Transaction name for a CICS program.
Hi, I used to believe that a CICS program will always have an associated transaction name but at this new company I have been told there are some CICS programs which are never invoked directly on terminal and don't require a transaction name. These programs are called by the other application (not o...

Which Job is using the VSAM dataset?
Hello,
One Job in production is abended for because of a VSAM dataset, as it was in contention. How can I know which job was using that dataset? Is there a way to find this that which job all jobs were using a VSAM dataset in for such an abended job?

Re: Should the programs be recompiled?
Yes, we do not.
The mainframe system were not upgraded since last 12-13 years, as we were supposed to move to another technology but they could not so tools were not updated.

Re: Do Financial Technology startups of today require mainframe?
I think it is not good to generalize about mainframes like you're doing. Startups don't need mainframes -- they may need access to mainframes, but there are companies that provide processing services which suffice for the startup. Once they get to a certain size, they may decide to acquire a mainfr...

In many of my SORT jobs I have not used DCB parameters and they were taken from the control cards. I thought similar might be case with IDCAMS. which it is not. I am away from my mainframe system, will check it out.
