Hi Everyone,

Does any one has any documentation or videos related to web services in CICS, I want to enhance knowledge on web services.

Thanks

Hello,

Anyone has any idea about company Autozone for mainframe developer?

as usual replies are concerned only about the lowly technicalities things to consider ... legal / auditing / paper trail certification that the change has passed all the tests  and all the affected components have been rebuilt most auditors frown about dates mismatches the developing environment us...

COBOL programs, when compiled, are not using variable names.  They are using offset and length instead.  So when making changes to a copy book, AS LONG AS THE OFFSET AND LENGTH do not change, the copy book does not need to be recompiled into programs.  However, any changes to offsets or lengths req...

Thanks Robert. Now I am not sure what is SMS in your reply.

If Interview is happened and selected then they put that position on hold
 

Thanks Anuj!

"When you say roller off that means "they are deleted? ". If yes, what happens to the data in them?"  Depending upon how your site is set up, they may be immediately deleted or they may be in ROLLED-OFF status for some period of time.  Eventually, they will be deleted.  And just...

The editor has been updated, it gives a better interface and you can use keyboard short-cuts now, like 'ctrl+b' to bold the text. Though keeping this editor compatible with websites' software is cumbersome. As such "list" is not available now but if you know how to work with it, it'd stil...

Try this: //STEP1 EXEC PGM=IDCAMS //SYSIN DD * ALTER YOUR.GDG.NAME LIMIT(30) /* One note: if you change the limit and decrease it, then generations will be rolled off so the GDG matches the new limit. Thanks Robert. Understood. When you say roller off that means "they are deleted? ". If y...

Are there filler fields in the copybook, and are they located at the end, or is there no filler or it's not at the end, which could impact every program using the copybook and require recompilation? This was interview question. Not a real time situation. One of the option given was that it had fill...

It depends upon the changes. Assuming the copy book has some filler, and assuming that the filler is at the end of the copy book, then you can change it with little impact. If the copy book has no filler, or if the filler is not at the end, then every program using that copy book will need to be re...

Hello All, I was being interviewed and in it received a question as: " suppose if a same copybook is being used by 10 different programs and if I change some fields / added new field of the copybook for one program then will it get impacted on the other set of programs. And if yes then what wil...

Hi,

On this site, while writing how can we create a "list of items", like in Microsoft word? Like below example:

Item 1
item 2
item 3

This should come with numbers or bullet points?

Hi everyone, i have a question, if I have GDG generations with limit 10 , now i want increase the generation limit to 30 how i can achieve it ? i mean without recreating the GDG again with 30 generations limit, in that case i'll be loosing the existing 10 generations, so without disturbing the exist...
