I observed that some of the jobs are running in production has DSCB model specified in DCB parameter for GDG versions. When I checked the attributes of those versions in production, they are in S...

[quote="NicC"][quote]With respect to ABENDS, throwing, displaying, showing meant the same.[/quote] No, "throwing" on the mainframe has absolutely no meaning whatsoever. It is PC/Unix jargon specifically for what I, incorrectly, call 'curly-whirly' languages e.g. C, C++ Java etc. Look in the manuals ...

[quote="NicC"]I've never heard of z/OS throwing an error! Do I have to duck? When we get errors (under z/OS) they are usually displayed or written but NEVER thrown.[/quote]

Dik, I added the rows but didnot save the dataset my bad.

When I saved the dataset , system is issuing space abend '0D37'.
Though I provide SPACE=(0,(0)) & create dataset. The dataset cannot be used for editing.

Anuj, I checked, after that, both primary and secondary allocation is showing zero. But I am able to edit and inserted couple of records to the dataset. Is this strange that I am able to edit and add records to it even thought there is no primary & secondary allocation?.

:-) Yeah correct. I am not using the sort work storage class. I was looking into some of the datasets in test, dev & production LPARs to find out the attributes of it. While checking every dataset that came across, I observed the Data class is NONE. Quickly created a dataset with IEFBR14 without SPA...

Yeah. I should do that as next step. I have to find out the nature of volumes of data that came in the past runs from the dataset and contact SMS admin

Now do I have to contact SMS admin now to see what volume is suitable for this dataset in production region?
