Mainframe, MVS and zOS Discussion

Hi, I had to leave job in 2018 and now restarting my career. I used to work with mainframes, could you please guide with some practical questions on mainframes, like: If you get -811 error in production then how would you fix it I said I would delete a row in the table How would you decide which row...

I also think so. I have searched a lot, but I cannot find a hint for it. 

Thank you enrico, I figured that too but rocketsoftware website does not really tell if they have discontinued the software or rebranded it. As I could not find any direction on documentation on the site. 

Hi, I had been looking for the documents on Proteus(Fundi). And the only relevant post, on the intrnet, I could find was the below one: What is Proteus(Fundi)? - Mainframe, MVS and zOS Discussion (zmainframes.com) Are there any more documentation someone can share please? Or direct to a link? This w...

Thanks. Then what is best way to do it? Please advise.

There is no limit on number fo records because of JOINKEYS, I've used it for millions of records.

Thanks Anuj. This is very helpful.

Hi,

This is a great Forum for DevOps and some of the threads are interesting. But do we need to really go in the direction of DevOps of mainframes and where are the programs to learn it our own from IBM or other companies?

Thanks, I can understand that but Can FUNCTIONS like other language be used in COBOL. I mean it gets confusing even today that we think about calling a program in memory?

Hi,

And an override from QA to PROD is working so it looks like this is what is correct but not sure ..

I am new at this place. Just helping the people in charge. The lead programmer for this told us this. So may be his understanding is not correct but that's how it worked. May be he is missed something else to look at but this is what we are told.

Removing is an option if I do it correct at the first time but the mistake has already been done and now keep on getting this message until someone purges my ID or my session is logged off.

The file with XML data is a dataset on mainframes. That's why I thought it's a mainframe issue.

Hi, How can we get rid of the message "IKJ56718A REENTER THIS OPERAND+"? In a PDS, in front of the member I put "CO" mistakenly instead of "C" and this message started showing up. I used "Quit", "Exit", "Bye" and "logoff" but noth...

Hi all,

I need to automate one test scenario. As a first step, I need to fetch data from a datset which is an XML and place in an excel sheet. Please advise if some one has done some thing similar or have an idea.
