I've got code that has been running with no problem for years on various JES2 systems. (It may also be working on some JES3 systems -- as a vendor you hear mostly about the problems, not always the details of the successes.)
It uses the IEFSSREQ macro with function code SSOBSSVI (54) to retrieve JES "version" information. (The exact information I am after is the JES node name, which I find by parsing the returned "version" information looking for 'JES_NODE='. SSOBSSIB is set to zero = "use life of job SSIB." At one particular site the code is failing. I get a zero back in R15 from IEFSSREQ but SSOBRETN contains an 8, which says the subsystem is known but not up at the moment. FWIW it is a JES3 site. It's "the middle of the day." It is not during system initialization or termination. It's a normal batch job running under JES3. What should I be looking for? (Please recall that the code has been working for years without error on various systems.) I have it on my to-do list to test the code myself under JES3 but moving a system -- even a test system -- from JES2 to JES3 is not always something one can do on short notice.
