Mainframe, MVS and zOS Discussion

I just wanted to any possible errors.

I was thinking when I pass the PANEL like this in the CLIST
Will the CLIST pick it up from correct location? Or do I need to make some adjustments to refer to my personal PDS of panel?

I did that because the data-sets created after FTP has these attrbutes:

Record format : VB
Data length . : 252

But my PDS in which I have the CLIST and PANEL are of FB and 80 LRECL.

Hi Enrico,

I did it again but I see the same problem again.

1. I downloaded the CLIST and PANEL definition on the PC. Clicked on the links from Mark Zelden website, right-click and save as. Saved CLIST and PANEL as text file on the desktop.

2. Uploaded them to mainframe using command line FTP ...

Hi Enrico,

Hi,

I have trying to run the AMBCLIST by Mark Zelden from here: http://mzelden.com/mvsutilr.html#tso

I am getting the below error, can someone please guide on how to resolve it:

Hi,

Will AMBLIST give the compile date and time of all the programs?

Actually, as we don't have any source code management toll in place yet. We approached the support to know the Compile Date and Time for a few programs. We had been told that IBM UTILITY AMBLIST will do that easily.

It works ...

Sorry nicc. I was searching for it but could not get it. Got it later. I understand it now that it is storage management subsystem.

I got a link describing about SMS. Was not able to get it before. One more question though, If SMS does not support DSCB then if there is a system which make use of DSCB then how will it keep on working when SMS is active?

The requirement used to be that a model DSCB was required to create a new generation of a GDG. With the advent of system-managed storage (SMS), the necessity of using a model DSCB was eliminated since SMS does not support model DSCB. If you are creating generation data sets that are non-SMS, you ...

There is no defined good practice for what you have done. In the future, do not allow 4 groups to update the same program. Many source code management systems allow only one check out at a time of a given program, which is one way to prevent the situation you're in.
Thanks. But we are not using ...

But can a version control tool merge the changes form different programmers?

I have not seen DSCB being used. So is that like some people just decide about using it and some do not? Is there no rule?

Hi,

Assume there is a program1 which has got changes. We have our team divided in 4 different locations. Now, all of us are making changes in this program for different requirement. Every one has retrofitted the code changes for other teams and doing UAT. But in case, we go for production ...

Thanks Robert. Your answer helped.

Thanks.

I am testing it. Will keep posted about the results.

Sorry if it offended you. Just wanted to confirm!

Thanks Robert. I have used the following FTP card:

QUOTE SITE MBD=(IBM-037,IBM-1142)
PUT 'file1' Shipment_20&LYYMMDD.&LHHMMSS..F
PUT 'file2' Order_20&LYYMMDD.&LHHMMSS..F
many other PUT commands

I need one more help.

So you want to say there is a difference between PCs and COMPUTERS? What is the difference?

Thanks for the insight. That means both the below codes will behave same?

IF TB-ABCDE-NORESP AND WS-LTYPE-PART

IF (WS-IMSSEG-NORESP

Thanks. I am not very aware about the code page concept, could you please elaborate it?

For FTP, based on what you have said, I have searched what keyword can be used and I find it should be SITE, can you please confirm. I have looked at it here: http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid ...
