Mainframe, MVS and zOS Discussion

If I've understood your question correctly - search for CICS DFHEIBLK and nested COBOL programs.

Edit:

There is an example at this link: https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/cics-ts/5.3 ... l-programs

Glad that I had been helpful.

Good luck,

We're working on it and will keep you posted.

Should be positive,

As part of IT career, it'll greatly help you if you can develop the skill to search the error messages system shows you. You get an ICE027A, explanation for which is: Explanation Critical. If ddname is blank, then: The OUTREC or INREC length exceeded 32767 bytes, or if INREC was specified, a SORT, M...

Look for FINDREP, a sample is given below:
Play around with position of characters you want to replace, should work.

You "can' use it, however it's not recommend in static SQL. SELECT * is recommended mostly for use with dynamic SQL and view definitions. You can use SELECT * in static SQL, but doing so is not recommended because of first, possible host variable compatibility and performance implications. Supp...

This move should be easy, if you are willing to do so. Possibly you want to explain in details your questions and someone will be around.

Do you have offer for the job in other technology?

If no, quest ends there as you've left the previous job and apparently you need another.

If yes, are you good with the opportunities it presents now and can possibly bring in future? Write down those thoughts, meditate, pick a choice.

A PDX is a pre-formatted, fixed-blocked BDAM data set. Like a partitioned data set (PDS), it contains a directory followed by member data blocks. The directory starts at the beginning of the data set and is defined in tracks (not blocks). The directory blocks are the same size as the data blocks. Th...

This question can be best answered at TCS internally. Suggest you ask it there.

You can talk to Resource Management Group (RMG) there - they should guide you. Good Luck.

Look at the flip side also - you're in a job so you should ideally have a project, yes? Thinking that you can answer your own question. With any company if you are on bench longer than anticipated, it's not good. For TCS, it's good that you get in touch with RMG and get yourself aligned. Good Luck!

ADABAS, Adaptable DAta BAse System, is Software AG’s primary database management system. Initially released on IBM mainframe systems using DOS/360, OS/MFT or OS/MVT, ADABAS is now available on a range of other systems including OpenVMS, Unix (including Linux and Linux on zSeries), and Microsoft Win...

You might want to clarify a bit more - a further explanation would help us to help you.

Yes, it is - It's part of IBM DevOps tool-set.

In addition to what Robert has said - IBM's Dependency Base Build (DBB) tool is (part of) a source code management solution for IBM Mainframe systems. It provides an end-to-end solution for managing and automating the build, deployment and management of mainframe applications. With DBB, developers c...

IBM DBB is short for IBM Dependency Based Build. It's part of IBM DevOps tool-set. DBB is a build system for traditional z/OS applications written in languages such as COBOL and PL/I that allows the analysis of build dependencies between objects. It provides the automation capabilities that can be u...

That's correct - IEBCOPY can be used to copy PDS. IEBCOPY is a data set utility that is used to copy or merge members between one or more partitioned data sets, or partitioned data sets extended (PDSEs), in full or in part. //COPYJOBA JOB,'COPY PDS',MSGCLASS=X // EXEC PGM=IEBCOPY //SYSPRINT DD SYSOU...

This pretty much is a personal choice. And if someone is confused with that much money on disposal and asking a direction on a Forum, I'm not sure if they really deserve it. With that rant here are two cents: If the personal choice is to stay with family, WFH is a good choice. If the person comes fr...

This is a classic case of JOINKEYs in SORT, unless there is more to what meets the eyes. See below exmaple: //JKE1 EXEC PGM=SORT //SYSOUT DD SYSOUT=* //SORTJNF1 DD * Roses 03 Red Daisies 06 Orange Roses 04 Pink Daisies 02 Yellow Roses 06 Yellow Daisies 12 Lilac Roses 09 Blue /* //SORTJNF2 DD * Red L...

This definitely needs more explanation as Robert has said too. What kind of solution are you looking for COBOL or SORT or anything else?
