Well, thank you Frank Yaeger for your vast contributions to this and other boards. You played a model roll in the forums with your professional attitude, model helpfulness, and turning requests and p ...

It appears to me that you are not using the correct definitions of what you want. A file is cleary identified by a name, and if addressed by any program or name you will see the file name. Now, acco ...

Thanks expat, but I only need to find out about a specific dataset, and if it is not cataloged a volid has to be given on which I will search. I just about have it done already with lminit, but as us ...

Listdsi, Sysdsn both are great for inquiries wether a dat set exists, but this is only true for cataloged data sets. I need to check if a cataloged or a non cataloged (with volume) data set exists. ...

We have transferred from CA1 to RMM. After we are using RMM we have found that cataloged datasets on tape volumes are being scratched even
though the datasets are still cataloged and valid. We had ...

Thanks a lot for your answer. Your suggestion sounds very interesting and I will definitely examine that. The problem is that we have data sets that are cataloged and valid, but due to an error in t ...

Does anyone know how to get a list of all the datasets that are cataloged and are on tape? Adrdssu does not offer the option to look for a volume serial no. Perhaps sort could do this?

This is not a trvial project and can only be analysed in your shop. Many factors are involved. For example, where are your copy books located, where are your programs located (in a vendor product, o ...

What does your original file look like?

Asr2, thanks for your input. I remember doing that somewhere in one of my routines, but I have written so many that I do not know where that is bonk

Maybe at a later time (when I have mor ...

Thanks for your answers. Both solutions would work. Kolusu, the solution you suggested is interesting, but I prefer using standard IBM tools if possible. Superk, I did not think of using that possi ...

I have several Rexx routines that need to use the same variables. I want to have a central place for these variables so that they only have to be changed once and are external to the other routines. ...

I even opend an issue with IBM on this, but they just confirmed that it is a no do except if I use a JES2 exit. So, I have changed the JCL in all the jobs, tedious, but it works. Is this request so ...

We have an Outclas 7 defined in Jes2. We want the output to go to a destination (different machine). I see no way to define a destination in the Outclas for Jes2. Does anybody know of a way how to ...

Vijay, do not expect us to do your work for you. If you have a specific problem we are glad to help, but we are not going to write a routine for you. Do some reasearch, maybe you will find a rexx on ...
