Mainframe, MVS and zOS Discussion

Hello,

Suggest you create a tiny test program to do this.

Post here when there are questions or problems.

You will learn more by doing and our goal is to help you learn.

Hello,

You can also make up a small test program and place some of these throughout the WS.

Then observe how they are allocated in the generated listing.

Keep in mind that while both support positive values, if the 2 definitions are in different group fields, a comparison of the 2 groups will often compare not equal.
Depends on if the value has an F sign or a C sign. . .

While reading the manual, suggest you experiment with a bit of test code.

Suggest you ask your co-workers or support if they have downloaded a mainframe file to a desktop or shared dasd on a lan. Someone in the organization most likely has. . . . If you cannot do this via a batch job on the mainframe, nearly all tcp/ip clients (what you use to access the mainframe) has an...

Sugest you talk with a person working with you with more editing experience.

Those messages say you do not have standard numbers for the member.

What kind of alignment were you expecting? If you want indentation, basically you provide this your self . . .

Is there any TSO command or a way out to retireve the older dataset ? Hopefully, they (your teammate) made a backup of the data first . . . If not, it is most likely gone. You could talk with your storage management people and see if there might be a backup frmo when the Disaster Recovery backups w...

Hi Bob,

Yup, all is well here also

Hi Anuj,

If you're good, i'm good

I just didn't want to have this get out of hand . . .

are you single threaded Pandora?

I suppose you believed this was appropriate . . .

IMHO, it was not.

Please keep in mind that the people here are trying to help you.

Good to hear it is working - thank you for the follow up

I've enjoyed these kinds of puzzles for a Very long time

You might open an issue with Natural / ADABAS.

however, coming from windows-world makes you curious about such things.

There should be no consideration/compsarison why things are different in the 2 environments. There are Very Few similarities between these environmants.

Did you mean they are either on DASD or on TAPE? No. Depending on how dasd/tape is managed on your system datasets may or may not be visable on multiple lpars. You need to talk with your storage management peoploe to learn how data is managed on your system. Sorry to be so long, but i've not always...

Is this now working?

I do not believe i agree . . .

What IS advisable is to follow the standards of the organization where the code is being implemented. . .

There is another manframe operating system called VM (Virtual Machine). If this is the host software, other "guest" host operating systems may be run on that same system, allowing multiple "mainframes" with different operating systems to run at the same time. This is probably not...

Talk with your technical support and ask how this is done in your shop.

It will build goodwill and will possibly prevent their distress if you are just muddling about . . .

What kind of situation might this support?
