Re: SWAREQ REXX fails with SWA=ABOVE, works with SWA=BELOW

The current CBT 183 has a fix for this. See SWAREQ22 (it was z/OS 2.2 where the breaking change was introduced.) It works on pre-2.2 as well, so there's no need to hold on to the original SWAREQ. In article <3385731727254339.wa.pbishop23dxc@listserv.ua.edu> you wrote: > Bad form to reply to m

From a design perspective it would seem that your task is done and waiting for more work? Generally I’d think you’d want to wait and have someone post that work is ready or an stimer to wait for a period of time. z/OS is unlike many operating systems where it will pre-empt running work and s

You only get the CPU for a time slice, or until the next interrupt occurs, which is very often. After each interrupt, the highest priority piece of work is dispatched. If you are still at the top, you go next. If not, you wait until you are at the top of the dispatch chain. Chris Blaicher Te

Question is about generating an interrupt on a console for a standalone restore. I read this previous post: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/bit.listserv.ibm-main/lX4ZGaoUH_s So for a z13 would the interrupt needed be the one described in zEnterprise System Support Element Operations Guide

The procedure you are describing would present an Interrupt Key external interruption, and that is not what Standalone DFDSS is looking for. It is looking for an attention from what looks like a channel-attached console (which on days machines would be OSA-ICC), which you would do by hittin

Jim is correct, all it takes is for one of the consoles that is attached to the ICC, or which you have limited your DFDSS SA build to to press enter. I have found that almost any key that generates "something" seems to work though, the function keys, pageup etc. The ones that just move the cur
