Thanks Robert.

You are very knowledgeable!

Thanks all. We are using CA-7. I have put File dependency and it seems to work for me as of now.

Thanks all. In one of the interview they have asked me like how recently you have coded a CICS screen. I was being honest said that not a brand since 2 years as most of the work is on enhancement. I have been working as Technical Manager but can work as a programmer too. But the position was for sen...

Thanks for the options Robert. Will try it and get back.

Hi Guys,

I am transmitting a file from mainframe to unix server of fixed byte length. But when I checked mainframe file it contains spaces but when it reaches unix it's trimmed. Does anyone know how this can be resolved?

Thanks. I was asking about the manual for setting up HTTP server on mainframes.

Isnt't it possible to create a runcycle group with two trigger runcycle for this application?
Rergards, Grauds

I am not aware about "runcycle group", can you explain it?

Or, if the datasets are created by jobs within the same "machine" then have your job have predecessors of the job(s) that creates the 3 datasets. Two of them created on the same mainframe and one comes from the other team, not on the same machine. And in future all the files will come fro...

Thanks Robert. Can you please direct to some IBM manual for this to study in detail.

I will have to touch base with Support as I am not sure if z/OS runs Distributed File Service or not.

Thanks nicc. I did not understand it on first read but now it make sense to me. Thanks for the explanation.

Hi,

One of our client has aksed us if there is a way to code a 'hyperlink' type entry on the mainframe to be able to click to a share drive or server? I don't think it is possible but trying to find out the alternate ways, just in case they exist. Can someone of you please advise on this?

Thanks for the reply Blackthorn. We have CA-7 but I think I can use the logic in that too.

But what do you mean by this sentence:

You cannot wait until all three datasets have been closed before the application is triggered.

What do you mean by "close"?

Hi, If I have, for example, 3 dataset say dataset-1, dataset-2 and dataset-3. Can a be job be triggered by the availability of all datasets? I want to put a condition that the job should get triggered when all the three datasets are available. If only one or two datasets are available then the job s...

Thanks. This is very muck like India then.

Thanks for generalizations, it helped.

Hi, I am working in an Indian MNC and thinking to settle down abroad - UK, US or Australia. Was thinking about the interview process in the abroad location. If anyone of you can share about your experience from abroad location it might help me to understand on how to prepare for better interviews. T...

This is a great Forum. There are many other forums around in but the people here does not come with some pre perceptions and I see the answers are detailed...and they , believe me, help new comers like us.

Hi,

This is Makrand. I'm working with Mainframes for 2 years. I've experience with COBOL, JCL, DB2 and VSAM.

Nice to meet everyone here.
