AW: [IBM-MAIN] Stupid outages you caused (was: Cost of an outage)

We were running JES3 which at this time (end of 1980s) had its own, separate console. I wanted to create an SVC dump of my test STC and entered "DUMP COMM=..." on the console - the wrong one, i.e., JES3, not the "master" console. JES3 accepted the command and only asked me about the details for

AW: [IBM-MAIN] Control dispatcher time-slice?

You could try to directly change the dispatching priority of a TCB with CHAP: https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/zos/2.5.0?topic=hsp-chap-change-dispatching-priority My understanding is that after changing the dispatching priority for your task, the dispatcher will get control and (if you downgraded yo

AW: [IBM-MAIN] IPCS beginners primer WAS: IPCS and Rexx

Another tip: If, like me, you are really bad at memorizing the IPCS command syntax, you can write a small REXX which uses "address IPCS" to run all those commands which you found useful. If you redirect the output into a PO dataset (one member per command) you can then look through these reports

What abend do you encounter get? Your assembler module might get into trouble because the read-in area, where the record is moved to, might be too small. This can lead to an overlay of the data behind this area (the extraneous 50 bytes) or, if you cross a page boundary, to an abend (S0C4 most o

Relative generation - how to recognize new datasets under TSO

Dear listers, I've been searching for hours but did not find a solution for the following: During a TSO session, a user specifies a dataset name. He may use a relative generation number (e.g., "MY.DSN(0)") and he may do this several times, each resulting in a DYNALLOC (DALMEMBR set to the gener
