I think DELETE from TSO runs non-APF. Batch IDCAMS runs DELETE as APF-auth; and this function requires that authorisation. Lennie -Original Message- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List On Behalf Of Ed Jaffe Sent: 18 January 2025 20:28 To: IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU Subject: Re: Orphaned

Re: Physical tape connectivity

IBM has delivered an APAR OA66450 to DFSMSdss 3.1 which provides direct to cloud support. I believe this is what you need, because DFSMSdfp CDA is very limited in the type of data you can put to S3. Although OA66450 is also having a PTF for DFSMSdss v2.5, it's toleration only, so you really nee

Re: File transfer question

The non-Mainframe platforms don't have records (as a concept); they only have byte streams; binary files with no structure or text files with line separators (which restricts the values in the lines to pure text). This said: the request to transfer binary files with VB records to distributed s

Orphaned VVDS References in BCS

Hello Catalog Gurus, Our ICF catalogs have accumulated some "detritus" over the years. Most of it is easily dealt with, but we don't know how to clean up orphaned VVDS references. For example, we have a reference to SYS1.VVDS.VMVSU01. Volume MVSU01 has not been on our system for many years.

Re: File transfer question

I'm 99% certain that there are some "site" options in IBM FTP that will round-trip binary VB data.I've seen it discussed on IBM-MAIN, but not for years and I can't recall the details. FWIW, you can do it easily with Co:Z SFTP. >From cozsftp client: lzopts mode=binary,linerule=rdw #or L4
