&lt;span class="postbody"&gt;Hi All, 
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
We have a macro in net.data, and its calling a cobol program thru wich its LINKing the CICS transaction.
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
we are facing with an error , might be due to the data issue. I'm not sure whether the error is with the macro or is due to the program(s)
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
I want to expedite the program but I'm not sure how I can debug the program in xpeditor while the program is getting called from the macro.
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
could some one please let me know if there is any way I can debug the program in xped ?
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Thank you
&lt;br /&gt;_________________&lt;br /&gt;Tx

&lt;span class="postbody"&gt;Kolusu,
&lt;br /&gt;
I did try that earlier.
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Unload query is 
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
SELECT Col1,Col2 
&lt;br /&gt;
from table 
&lt;br /&gt;
where condition
&lt;br /&gt;
for fetch only with ur;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Actually that's the first option I tried but still it is not retrieving record being hold for update.
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Thanks,
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;span class="postbody"&gt;Hi sinduja,
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
The following messages may occurs sometimes when the datasets are migrated.
&lt;br /&gt;
Check the dataset or GDG which is migrated.
&lt;br /&gt;
Before doing Load do check the datasets whether they got migrated, if so.
&lt;br /&gt;
give HRECALL and then load the desired table.
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;span class="postbody"&gt;Hi,
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
I have a data in excel. I need to copy that in a notepad and upload that in MF. If I save that as &amp;quot;.txt&amp;quot;, the fields are delimited with space. But I dont want that way. I want it continously.
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
For example
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
NUM - 3 length Field
&lt;br /&gt;
NAME- 5 length Field
&lt;br /&gt;
DESIG - 20 length Field
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Contents of my Excel File
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
NUM	NAME	DESIG	
&lt;br /&gt;
---	----	-----
&lt;br /&gt;
100	Ramon	PROGRAMMER
&lt;br /&gt;
200	BOB	MANAGER	
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Notepad Output shud be 
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
100RamonPROGRAMMER
&lt;br /&gt;
200BOB    MANAGER
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
I want to do this manually without writing any macro.
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Pls help
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Thanks

&lt;br /&gt;
Code the SQL the clause WITH UR in the unload sysin and you will get the initial state record.

&lt;span class="postbody"&gt;Define 'version' Do you mean the dataset name ends V01 throught to V30?
&lt;br /&gt;
or do you mean 30 generations (G001V00 - G0030V00) are kept?
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Why rexx? There are catalog utilities around of which the best is probably IDCAMS.
&lt;br /&gt;_________________&lt;br /&gt;JCL is a means by which the programmer makes known to the computer the resources required by the program to be executed and certain characteristics of these resources.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;span class="postbody"&gt;I have a situation where in an operator is currently updating a record from CICS/Web screen and while this update is going on, Batch job tries to unload Table.
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Now, Currently we don't retrieve the record being updated since it is locked and we want to retrieve the being updated.
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
We are fine even if the we get record in old state before it was updated. i.e. record in its initial state before updation.
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;span class="postbody"&gt;Given that &amp;quot;both are in sorted&amp;quot; means both files are already in sorted order by the 1,22,CH field, you could try this DFSORT/ICETOOL job ... it will use a MERGE for the SPLICE instead of a SORT, so it won't use sort work data sets.

&lt;span class="postbody"&gt;It does rather depend on the current state of the PDS, if it is already in 16 extents then this can not be done without a complete rebuild.
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
A sneaky little trick .......
&lt;br /&gt;
Assume PDS is FB 80 with 200 directory blocks, Prim CYL 1 Sec CYL 1
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Writing in batch to a PDS can be used to make one off in flight space alterations. But, the dummy member must be quite big to force a secondary space allocation to occur.
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;table width=&quot;90%&quot; cellspacing=&quot;1&quot; cellpadding=&quot;3&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;&lt;tr&gt; 	  &lt;td&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;genmed&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Code:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/td&gt;	&lt;/tr&gt;	&lt;tr&gt;	  &lt;td class=&quot;code&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
//SYSUT2&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;DD DSN=pds.name&amp;#40;dummy&amp;#41;,DISP=OLD,
&lt;br /&gt;
//&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; SPACE=&amp;#40;CYL,&amp;#40;1,200,200&amp;#41;&amp;#41;,RECFM=FB,LRECL=80
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/td&gt;	&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;postbody&quot;&gt;

&lt;span class="postbody"&gt;if the report could easily be built with easytrieve I would always use easytrieve.
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
vsam is not problem with easytrieve.  if you have a packed-decimal field as a key and you are doing random/dynamic access, redefine your PD field as x-type and use that as your key.
