John,
Thank You.
But the announcement letter doesn't state if these are BREs, EREs, or
PCREs,
although the likely change of it being PCRE is both FAT and SLIM at the
same time.
The Announce letter does not go into the details of the line

Why are IBM migrating from SMB to NFS? As a Windows user SMB is far
superior and NFS is onerous to setup and adds no value. In fact it sucks

It's traditional for utility programs to trap abends and convert to a
return code. Whether that's a good idea or not is a classic moot point.
And it has been mooted for decades.

That reminds me of an incident in my first ever job on a 360/25
They had three 3211 disk drives and were running a large tape to tape sort with
work files spread across two of the disks.
In the middle of the sort a disk had a hardware check. Engineer came, reset the
disk but no fault was found. R

Yeah, DANCE got those on the Memorex drives, but I don't know whether there was
ever an issue with normal seek patterns.

I'd like to take this opportunity to show off my arcane (& archaic)
knowledge and point out the reference to 3211 (a line printer responsible
for nearly everything printed in the '70s & '80s), should have been 2311
(an early disk drive - mid-'60s). If that's not enough for you to get the

Hi Jim,
Thanks so much for pointing that out! The RACF Data Areas was a unique
deliverable that underwent massive structural changes for V2R4 that
aren't completely done yet, so we're holding off its shipment until it's
