Hi, why are you creating a different dataset name from the one you are defining ? Also when creating a new GDG, you must code MFI01.user.GDGROUP1(+1) and DISP=(,CATLG,DELETE) Your delete is possibly working because you are deleting the GDG base entry.

Hi,

if find it difficult to comprehend how you can go from using a utility and from next month you have to look for a replacement without a plan in place.

Hi,

assuming it's a 3390 device, with an LRECL of 29990, you can only fit 1 record per track.

8700 records will need 8700 tracks

8700/15 equals 580 cyls.

Hi Biswa,

as the file is VB, some of recods are less than 34 bytes long ie. your search is reaching beyond the length of the record.

OPTION VLSHRT
