We can also use NUMVAL.

If your site support group will not help you, either you need to change your goals or learn how to research things on your own. I'd start by using ISPF search (3.14 usually) on SYS1.PROCLIB to find out which procedures invoke SAS -- but then, I am a systems programmer with unlimited access to the s...

Yes I understand it now.

Thanks Robert. I have asked that support but they don't want to entertain such requests. In order to search a sample I found this pdf https://www-03.ibm.com/support/techdocs/atsmastr.nsf/5cb5ed706d254a8186256c71006d2e0a/4cefba6c90e96eee8525816300556162/$FILE/SAS%20Programming.pdf But when I tried to...

Thanks Robert. This is a great explanation, I had to re-read it multiple time to understand this.

Thanks. I was talking about generation not versions.

SORT should treat the VBS data set the same as a VB data set. The difference between VBS and VB is that the shortest block in a VBS will be no less than 4 bytes smaller than the block size, while a VB may have a block that is just under the LRECL shorter than the block size. For a data set defined ...

So, generation is the correct word when we are referring to a gdg?

Hi,

I plan to learn SAS. I recently came to know that in my project we have SAS available on mainframes. Could any one please guide me from where I can start writing SAS program so that it can help me to debug or enhance the existing SAS programs too?

Thanks Robert. Yes they are opinions but I have something about the product. Read the product' documentation and understanding the different products. There will be demos too.

I did not get you? I needed to delete all the version for a GDG base.

Hi,

I need to work with a file which is VBS, does VBS file treated same as VB file by SORT? Please let me know.

Hi,

how can we delete all the GDG versions of a GDGbase with out really deleting the base. Can you please tell me?

Hi,

For one of our FTP job we are getting an abend

Code: Select all

Std Return Code = 10000, Error Code = 00008 in FTP.

Not able to figure out it. Can someone please help.

Hi,

If I have a COBOL declaration like this:

Code: Select all

01 WS-A   PIC X(20) VALUES SPACES.
01 WS-B  REDEFINES WS-A PIC 9(10).

and I do a numeric check on the WS- like this:

Code: Select all

IF WS-B IS NUMERIC
   do this
END-IF

Will WS-B be considered as numeric value or not?

Is it a good coding practice?

Thanks Robert. I wanted to send it to multiple recipients and it worked with multiple rcpt to:.

They have done all that Robert though I have joined in the team just now and they wanted me to be the part of the discussion. Having had worked with ChangeMan in past I understand it but now there are tools like ISPW and RDz are in place. I did some research about them along with Endeavor but just w...

Hi, At our site we don't have any change management tools but we are in talks to purchase a new one. What is the tool do you suggest from your experience? I know this can be very vague to ask like this, we're talking to different vendors but wanted to seek some feedback from end-users in the form of...

Hi, I'm sending emails from mainframes and it seems to work fine if I sent out a single email but if I try to sent out multiple email to different email IDs it seems it is not recognising the end of the first email and the start of the second email. I write HELO record in the start of each email tho...

So can i say, unless a MOVE happens PIC (10) and PIC X(10) are just same? Please suggest.
