In 1981, I don't know the complier level I wrote a Cobol loop to distribute the
small arithmetic error across a set of variables. I don't remember the
algorithm, but I wrote it to loop until the remaining error was zero.
The routine looped when the error value stabilized on negative packed zero.

When we were setting up our 1st Tech LPAR, TCPIP was pretty new to our
mainframe. And in my knowledge. I set-up the parms for the new stack, mostly
cloning and some experimentation.
When looking at ROUTER/NONROUTER I got it wrong and specified ROUTER. We

Very early in my career, I had a Wylbur Exec that dropped a TYPRUN=PRINT
jobcard as line 0.0 and submitted it. At that time, a line printer was in the
same room as my desk.
Apparently, they updated Wylbur, or the JES2 mods, I never learned which. One

You really would be better served reading the DFHSM manuals. There are several
changes to the HSM SETSYS commands in your ARCCMDnn member(s) involved. And the
sample JCL for the documented started set are helpful

When I had a system, I had the HSM CDS backup datasets pre-allocated (4 each)
on non-SMS volumes with sufficient space. DFHSM then rotated between them. This
is the way the DFHSM starter set (there is sample JCL) originally set things up.

If you have syslog access, return to the beginning of the last ipl. You can
learn a lot about how your system is configured.
Also, try the D IPLINFO console command.
Look at the LOADnn (usually in SYSn.IPLPARM on the IODF volume) member follow
the IPL from there.
Read System Init and Tuning.

You also need to remember that a source for PROCs can be defined in the JCL.
// JOB
//name JCLLIB ORDER=(pds/pdsename,...)
//step EXEC PROCNAME
So, the PROC that executes can be in any PDS or PDS/E known to the system

You can do many useful automation things with System Rexx and JES auto

that you can use to trigger System Rexx routines.

Before passphrases, I used ALU NOPASSWORD to create RESTRICTED ids. I guess I
missed the new/changed function to remove
I was my understanding that RACF ids with passphrases all still had passwords,
perhaps unknown to anyone and that it wasn't possible to not have passwords.
I could of course be wrong
