Re: Flags
The message was something like "Please visit your profile to chose a flag". I can no longer be exact, as I have a flag, and can't remove it to see... On the edit of I see "Flag: *", when I try to select the "Chose a flag" it says "You must choose a flag." and ...

Re: Flags
Well, it is still mandatory when I attempt to remove the flag. Do I need to re-IPL?

Re: Flags
Is it less style/substance over an avatar? I have my flag otherwise I get the pesky message to change it in my profile, since it is marked as mandatory. Perhaps make it non-mandatory. Perhaps make Prino's avatar a flag :-)

Re: What is "incremental" in DB2?
An incremental copy just copies the things which have changed since the last incremental copy. Somewhere at the back there will be a full copy. The incremental copies means that you have a "state" at various points. To rebuild completely, you have to go to the base full copy, then apply ea...

Re: NULL terminated string?
Why would you want to apply it to DB2 for z/OS? If you are storing "null-terminated strings", it is just part of the data.

Re: Flags
For want of exact certainty about names (some flagists seem to go to all types of trouble about what flags should be called), the flag of Great Britain, aka the United Kingdom (full official name The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland), is the Union Jack. As nicc described. The Gre...

Why would you want to do that? enrico has alluded to the dangers. What are you hoping would happen if you were only able to commit little bits and pieces?

Re: DB2 query to check the low values.
It is really unclear what you are asking.
Since binary-zeros don't display too well, can you indicate where they are in the data with a 0, please?
In your example, which is TName and which is TStatus?
Which problem are you getting with the binary-zero, are you using DB2 for z/OS or something else?

Re: Use of uncommited read in DB2.
If it doesn't matter that the data you have just accessed disappears a very tiny fraction of a second after you have used it (because that is when it happened to get "rolled back" rather than "committted"), then you're fine using WITH UR. However, if that scenario would be proble...

Re: Work data sets can for a step?
There's a whole Appendix in the DFSORT Application Programming Guide on workspace. If you are using SyncSORT, there will also be documentation on workspace usage.
You site is making the job of getting the SORT workspace efficient more difficult by using JCL allocation.

Re: Change all command in ISPF for a really long string.
There is a wealth of information in the Help system. Press PF1. Do a bit at a time, there's a lot there. Practice with it. The editor is really powerful. The way I discovered its power is the way I just described.
There are manuals as well :-)

Re: Only mainframes are Legacy System?
Saw your reply late. If the article is not correct then what can be the correct definition for the legacy system? Is it about age of the system or the software and hardware in use? Or what? It's a meaningless expression in itself. You have to be aware what the actual speaker at the time means by it...
