Please get your terminology straight.

VTAM or VSAM?

IGYWCLG is a compiler proc?!?

DISP and RECFM are separate parameters.

If your delete fails with greater than CC=0 there will be SYSPRINT to explain why.

Hello and welcome to the forum,

When there is a problem you want to ask the forum about, you need to post the JCL and control statements submitted along with the informational/diagnostic output from the execution.

Yeah, IGYWCLG is the old way, it's never really used anymore. Try this:

//STEP1 EXEC PGM=IEFBR14
//DELDD DD DSN=SYS1.VTAMLST,DISP=(OLD,DELETE,DELETE)
Do not do this without specific direction/permission

That should take care of your VTAM network. Everything should be TCP/IP now anyway. There's another command for SNA, but I'm not really sure.

Hello,

Wherever did you get this idea - it is completely wrong. . . It also has nothing to do with either VSAM or VTAM. This is for a COBOL compile, link, and "go".

Why would you suggest deleting a sys1 dataset?

Why would you believe everything should be tcp/ip now? Rest assured, vtam is very alive.

It is understandable that the TS (Topic Starter) is new and has many questions/misconceptions. The people providing solutions/suggestions should not "just throw things in". . .

We are waiting for the requirement to be clarified. . . Then we should be able to properly reply.
