Yes, you can. And it doesn't break anything. In CICS there is a utility
transaction, ADYN, that can be used to allocate/deallocate datasets. It calls
SVC 99 "under the covers". I've used it on many occasions to free allocations
in a CICS region that had been made via DD statements in the regio
It's because the official name isn't chosen until just before it goes GA. Up
until then, even the developers don't know what the real name is going to be.
It works the same way with CICS.

ago – my bad…
Hi Dave,
I've seen that kind of problem before myself invoking various IBM utilities
repeatedly. A lot of them assume that they will always run at the jobstep
level and don't ever freemain their SP0
Your problem is caused by using lower case characters in your CART parameter
value, the value of variable MyCart. If you used all upper case, or all
numerics, it would work fine.
That's not documented anywhere that I've thus far been able to find.
Cheers,
Robert

"Was the syntax upward-compatible?"
Yes, it was - mostly. My ATTCHJRG command processor was 100% compatible with
how you called ATTCHMVS, except it supported one additional parameter:
TASKDD(ddname). If you supplied that, then it would pass whatever you had
previously allocated to ddname
I love symbols.
I've been trying to figure out if a level of indirection is possible.
Here's an example that both doesn't work and isn't' even syntactically correct,
but hopefully will serve to illustrate what I'm trying to do:
//SYM1 SET SYM1=VALUE1
//SYM2 SET SYM2=VALUE2
//TARGET SE

Something that's been puzzling me:
Imagine an interactive application that requires valid user credentials (ID and

In other words, the app does a RACROUTE REQUEST=VERIFY to validate credentials

There are no native REXX functions or easily callable services you can use to
get your hands on them. However, if you're handy with Assembler you could
write your own callable service to get them. The service you need in order to
get access to JCL symbols is invoked via the IEFSJSYM macro.
I tend to agree about the tech writers "having lost their way".
I wish they'd quit messing with "the tool formerly known as Knowledge Center",
because every time they revamp it, they make it WORSE, not better.
It did used to be simple. A reference manual ought to show every possible

REXX isn't the problem. Your coding technique is.
There's no limit to the size of file you can read and process using REXX,
--provided-- that you read and process only one record (or at most only a few
records) at a time, like 'normal' program would.
For example:
EXECIO 1 DISKR MYFILE
I did write a fairly detailed 'experience' document about everything, but I
was doing so as part of a project for a client at the time so I'm not free to
publish or share it without their permission.

Hi Paul,
I just looked back over some of my own subsystem code that also makes that
call, and I never fee that area so therefore it will get freed at tcb or step
termination. I don't think one has any control over where the storage gets
allocated from, but considering what it's used for my gue
zOSMF. A reasonably good idea that has been extremely poorly and sloppily
implemented.

Will your exec be running with CONSOLE authority? If so, you can trap the
