I guess when the utility was developed JCL was way simpler and test cases

Do you have an INCLUDE for the CEESTART module? Does LE look for an
eyecatcher that it recognises as CEESTART, not just an ENTRY which as
Seymour says isn't the same.
Take LET off the bind in case there's another hidden problem.

Bill,
Did you run the DSNTEJxZ job from SDSNSAMP. This captures your existing
parameter values for use later in the installation process.
Which version of DB2 are you migrating?

It is shipped with z/os serverpac. Depends on your installation. Perhaps
CPAC prefix library contains it if it wasn't copied to your active
linklist.

I would use SCLM if you don't have another source management tool.

Charles,
Correct it is VENDOR.PROCLIB. USER.PROCLIB was on our old ADCD back in the
old FLEX days.
We implemented some automation on Dallas to clean up spool (OTTO from the
CBTTAPE). We also paid for a lot of additional disk space so we could
extend JES spool.

I've used the Dallas systems. You are free to customize. IBM provide
USER.PROCLIB etc. It allows you to add your custom routines which can allow
such things as MSGCLASS=Z et al.

I can see a point whereby you wouldn't use interactive RDO to define
resources.
We used a change control system to implement CICS resources via batch jobs
running DFHCSDUP utility. It gives a better audit trail than using the CEDA
transaction. We also used a separate CSD for 14 CICS regions and ro

Bill,
Check the DSNTIJUZ member from your installation.
This should show you what subsystem was created in ZPARMS. Perhaps you have
dropped your custom module.

Growing up in the 50's people could only fantasise about billions and

A good friend of mine boasted to me that his Dad was "a thousandaire". I

I also like CA-IDEAL. A little bit PL/I like with a nice SELECT statement:
Example:
SELECT TRANS_CODE

DO ADD_RECORD_PROC
WHEN 'D'
DO DEL_RECORD_PROC
WHEN 'P'
DO PURCHASE_PROC
WHEN 'R'
DO RECEIPT_PROC
WHEN ANY
DO LOG_TRANS
WHEN OTHER
DO INVALID_CODE

Very interesting if one-sided interview. He gives Steve Wozniak very little

partnership.
