Hi Lionel, Did you try this with an existing zFS cluster? I get the same error:
> cat //'dovetail.usrloc.zfs' cat: //dovetail.usrloc.zfs: EDC5049I The specified file name could not be located. FWIW, you can use the Co:Z "catsearch" shell command, which is a shell command interface to IGGCSI00, etc. (free to use under our Community License). For example: > count=$(catsearch dovetail.usrloc.zfs | wc -l ) > echo $count 1 Back to the original problem - why not use "mount" and redirect stderr somewhere to a temp file that your script can look at. There might be errors mounting other than the data set not existing. Kirk Wolf http://dovetail.com PS> There seems to be a legitimate problem with the error returned by "cat". If I try to read the zfs using the Co:Z "fromdsn" shell command (which opens and reads using fopen() / fread(): > fromdsn //dovetail.usrloc.zfs fromdsn(DOVETAIL.USRLOC.ZFS)[E]: DatasetHandler: Error in fopen(//'DOVETAIL.USRLOC.ZFS', rb,type=record,noseek,recfm=*) - EDC5041I An error was detected at the system level when opening a file. (errno2=0xC00A0022) This is an expected error, since reading VSAM with fread() is not supported by z/OS for linear data sets. But doing this on a non-existing file results in: >fromdsn foo.bar fromdsn(FOO.BAR)[E]: DatasetHandler: Error in fopen(//'FOO.BAR', rb,type=record,noseek,recfm=*) - EDC5049I The specified file name could not be located. (errno2=0xC00B0641) If you look up the errno2 (reason codes) with bpxmtext, these look right. You can get cat to print out the errno2 with: >export _EDC_ADD_ERRNO2=1 /u/vendor/kirk>/bin/cat //'DOVETAIL.USRLOC.ZFS' cat: //DOVETAIL.USRLOC.ZFS: EDC5049I The specified file name could not be located. (errno2=0xC00B0641) >bpxmtext c00b0641 JrEdc1opsElocate01: The filename argument passed to fopen() or freopen() specified dsname syntax. The mode argument specified read. Allocation of a ddname for the dsname was attempted, but SVC 99 failed with error code 0x1708. The data set name could not be located. You cannot use read mode for a data set that does not exist. Action: Correct the application. Source: edc1opst.c That's just weird.
