Mainframe, MVS and zOS Discussion

mickeydusaor,

Sorry but I don't understand what you are trying to say? Can you please explain more about it.

I don't think your approach makes much sense. If you need to update the records in a VSAM data set after they have been written (in a COBOL program), you either need to DELETE them and then WRITE the records again, or you need to REWRITE the records. Neither of these will work with the file opened ...

Yes, it is possible, but it is better to speak to Your support to check if that possibility is allowed/supported. 1) as a company standard 2) for the dataset You are dealing with Support? Did you mean to talk to the team lead. If yes, his answer is not very good, as he does not have much experience...

Hi, For a COBOL program a VSAM file is an output. File is opened in output mode. My intention is that whever I run the program, the file should get overwritten with new values. For testing, first time I create the file and write the record, until here all is good but when I execute the program secon...

Thanks!

Thanks Robert. I looked at http://www-01.ibm.com/support/knowledge ... MFwar.html and I am reading to undestand it all.

Thanks Enrico. But reading SMF records is a tedious job, how can I learn about the tools whic can help me to read SMF records?

Hi all,

Is there a way to find out the list of all high MIPS consuming Jobs in SAR? Or in general, is there some other way of knowing this?

Thanks,

Hi, I am trying to compile and link a sample IMS PL/I program. And in doing so, I am facing the following error: IEW2648E 5111 ENTRY CALLPLIM IS NOT A CSECT OR AN EXTERNAL NAME IN THE MODULE. The output from AMBLIST (or just editing CEE.SCEELKED.CALLPLIM) apparently shows CALLPLIM *is* in the CEE.SC...
