Mainframe, MVS and zOS Discussion

Please use the code tags for presenting data. What has the topic title to do with your "question" as posted? What have you tried? You have been given a clue as to how to do it in Rexx so what is your problem? Remember - we do not read minds and we do not do your work for you although we ma...

It can be resolved by not using production datasets in test. Copy it.

is there a way I can know that my own? Yes - go back in time looking at the outputs and finding when the version number changed in the output. But even that warning message does not have a solution? Depends what the warning message is and you have not shown that despite a request to see the (releva...

What did you read? I just Googled 'dbctl ims' and, without even linking to the first item, the precis there told me most of what you need to know. DBCTL is an IMS™ facility that provides an IMS Database Manager (IMS DM) subsystem that can be attached to CICS®, but runs in its own address spaces. but...

Well, I don't know as you have provided some JCL but no ADRDSSU control cards, no version informatio and no details of the abend - messages with their message numbers from both ADRDSSU and the job. All these things are required to determine where the error is occurring. We also do not know if your s...

One way is to have FTP batch run in a job class dedicated to FTP batch. While FTP maintenance is in progress that job class would not be assigned to any initiators until maintenance is complete. But your shop may have some process in place so you should use that. If not, then it should be discussed ...

Welcome.

consult an Eight Ball -- on this forum, we work in the real world and answers are not always black or white.

But the 8-ball is black! Surely a see-through crystal ball is better?

I don't know what 'VC' is but why not simply FTP the report dataset or, at least, get someone to set it up for you and get it scheduled to run when the report is created? They may even be able to transfer the data dataset instead of the report dataset. If there is an approved reqirement then the res...

locked. Old topics should not be revived (but they can be referred to).

Put proper controls in place. Why are production objects not retained in test when they are promoted?

Why are you posting in every forum you cn find? This one is locked as are most others.

My timezone is set to UTC+1 (British Summer Time) which is correct. Couldn't see anythng else that would be relevant.

Still more important things in the way?

What you posted is from the compiler so how the options weere set is irrelevant as long as they are correct. The same goes for the binder.

Everything should be used 'wisely'.

You would need to allocate a PDS with the same attributes as HERC01.TEST.JOB (except that it would be a PDS and not a sequential data set).

Blind Bambi about the missing info.

what difference will it make if keep it there

To your processing - none. To confusing others - everything. To maintenance - a nightmare (have I deleted some code by mistake? Why is that there? etc).

Please search the internet for the information. I used the terms "mainframe jcl job flushed" for my search.

That means there is no way to stop it?

Yes there is - as you have been told: proper data management
