Mainframe, MVS and zOS Discussion

We made use of CA-7 for this. Thanks for the help.

I will have a file like this:

0010
0009
0003
0008
0007
0005
0002
0001
0006
0004

and I want to sort them in ascending order. I can do it using by calling the SORT but I need to use using a COBOL program logic.

Yes, I need to replicate SORT logic just uisng COBOL and not by calling some external SORT utility.

Hi,

I need to write a COBOL program to sort the file in ascending order without sort. As sort is not working in Micro Focus language. Can somebody please guide on this?

Hi, I have two JCLS. After submitting the JCL1, if the return code is 4 then JCL2 needs to be submitted. Actualy once JCL1 step is submitted a data set name with the current date, as one of its qualifier should get created as the output. Because this is for test, I can take care of the first require...

0139.

So far it looks good.

Google.

I'm from India.

So in terms of mainframes what should I consider as the technologies if someone talks about "vanilla mainframes"?

Hi,

What is "vanilla mainframes"? If anybody knows it please let me know about this? I've heard/read about this term in some of the job-interviews ads.

Thanks for this crisp explanation - this makes me understand that I was using 'memory' quite incorrectly... .

The SPACE=(TRK,0) parameter means that this file will just be created as a VTOC entry, it will not use up disk space.

When it does not use up any space, does it really exist?
