I just started z/OS 3.1 installation using z/OSMF. So far, so good. I am on "Configure this deployment  - Data Sets" stage. I noticed all my datasets have a name like CB.ST123456.SYS1.LINKLIB. ST123456 is an order number. Obviously I wan to have SYS1.LINKLIB, without two first qualifiers CB.ST

I still have some 8" IBM floppy disks on my shelf. One even auto-plays a golf game if inserted into a 3741/3742. While the original question was on 12" disks, the information provided in the replies about 8" disks has been 'very poor'. The university where I got my training used first 80 colu

PDS is limited to 1 volume 16 extents, PDSE limited to 1 volume 12? extents. https://www.techagilist.com/mainframe/jcl/space-abend-sb37-sd37-se37-resolution/ says SE37 says no more volumes are available. So, either you have 16 extents, or the secondary allocation is larger than the largest free spa

Hi Radoslaw. Yes, you have to rename most of the datasets but it is not as bad as it sounds. I think I mapped the datasets to.target volumes and then filtered on the volume to get a list of all sysres datasets. Then you can change the CB. ST123456 prefix to null for all of those datasets in one
