Slight diversion. A colleague wanted some REXX code so I sent it as an XMIT file. He was working remotely and said, the RECEIVE fails.
When I next saw him, I went to his desk and watched the RECEIVE command. Boom, "UNABLE TO ALLOCATE LOG.MISC". He had TSO PROFILE(NOPREFIX) and didn't have RACF ALTER against LOG prefix. For years he was wrapping quotes around his dataset names. I mean everywhere!
