10409 Can someone please answer, how many JOB statements are allowed in a single JCL? define what You mean by single JCL anyway a dataset/member can contain as many JOBs as You want (no limit ) ! on the other side there are limits on the number of steps for a JOB and on the number of DDs allowed fo...

I agreee to all of you but why such a small thing is such a big deal in mainframes? On windows I have never heard people stopping you from doing it?

So TIME=1440 and TIME=NOLIMIT are equal? Or they are different? If they are different when should we use which parameter?

Hi, This question might be very trivial but it has haunted me badly. How many JOB statements are allowed in a single JCL? I have searched on google and there are mix of answers like, we can have 15 Job cards. There is no limit. It depends on system settings. It depends on what is the value edited by...

Hi,

Hi,

There is a link to "BIRTHDAYS" after "Registered users", what is this for? Though it seems that it should be for birthdays but how does it work?

hello, I'm trying to understand how a control interval split occurs? When a CI is full with records, what happens when record with key 150 is inserted? I searched it on google and there are references about VSAM demystified which I've downloaded but for novice like me it's tough to understand it. Ca...

Sorry for a late reply Anuj - but I really enjoy reading your reply. Thanks for your time.

Thank you Db2 Guy and enrico.

Enrico - that means on every company if we have DB2 installed SPUFI will be avialable?
