Mainframe, MVS and zOS Discussion

In addition to what zum13 said, this from the manuals can be of interest: WITHOUT RETURN or WITH RETURN Specifies whether the result table of the cursor is intended to be used as a result set that will be returned from a procedure. If statement-name is specified, the default is the corresponding pre...

Along with that, SORT products can also work with VSAM: //STEP1 EXEC PGM=ICETOOL //TOOLMSG DD SYSOUT=* //DFSMSG DD SYSOUT=* //IN DD DSN=... input-vsam-dataset //TOOLIN DD * COUNT FROM(IN) EMPTY RC4 /* This produces RC as 4, if the input VSAM dataset is empty. Another variation: /STEP1 EXEC PGM=ICETO...

Happy Independence Day!

Hello and Welcome to the Forums, Could you please share the Compile Listing, looking for the compiler options. Also, please post inline code - as attachments are restricted to be downloaded in many offices - most of us can't download them. I am new to this forum I wasn't able to post directly to the...

A mainframe modernization project is a comprehensive initiative aimed at updating and enhancing the capabilities, performance, and overall functionality of an existing mainframe computer system. As you know, Mainframes are large and powerful computers typically used by organizations to handle critic...

"Download", in this context, is "functionality of emulator" and not of ISPF. You should check for "send/receive" if it's PCOM emulator, for example. It should part of sub-option from "menu", I don't use PCOM these days, so would leave some effort for you.

Hi,

I'm not sure if I've understood your question, would you mind explaining it further, please?

You might want to provide more details about your question. Though for in general, you can have a look at these posts:

Good Luck!

Did you try using ISPF option 6, ISPF Command Shell?

Long back 'memory & storage' were very expensive. As a programmer, you were needed to calculate the combination of LRECL and BLKSIZE. "BLK" short of "Block" is multiple of LRECL - which means when system read data it could read data of those many "records (one record is ...

You might want to use FINDREP with SORT product, or please show the exact error message.

Try this:
Above step will generate return code 4 if 'your.dataset.name' is not cataloged.

Usually this happens when one is through a successful interview. I think, I'd say, congratulations!

If I've understood your question well, possibly CEMT I (program), should get you what you are looking for. You need access authority to run it though.

Since you haven't given any real details about what PIC clause you might be using to define the 'character' - assuming it's PIC X(10) and assuming them as ZD is safe. In that case, you would use SORT control statements something like this where p is the starting position of the field: OPTION COPY IN...

Hi,

I've not worked with them, however, these two links might be of your interest:

https://www.crunchbase.com/organization ... edit-union
https://www.penfed.org/

The short answer is - yes!

With that much information, there is a very slim chance to help you - is there anything else you can share across, like the logs from failed Job?

We had to bundle it down, for tech reasons. Will keep you posted how it goes though.

Appreciate the patience,
