IBM Mainframe Forum

Hi friends.
In our organization special users can submit this job attached to this post.
Can any body trace it for me?
I'm really confused about it.

Nothing attached to your post and you should not do so but include it in the message - not everyone can download attachments and I do not even bother to try.

Also - it is your organisation, your organisation rules your organisation etc so only people who work in your organisation or have worked there would know. So why not ask some of your more experienced colleagues?

Because they don't want to answer our question. They was learned that subjects from system vendors and not to try to learn another one.
(May be because of their job position that they wory about it to lost it. But we have to be indepndent and doeing our jobs)

Special users submit this job:
Where is dataset 'IMS710.&SSID..PSBLIB' ?
What is the "TYPE=MODBLKS" means?
What is the "TYPE=MATRIX" means?
What is the "TYPE=ACB" means?
Please help me.

May be XYZ is our CICS name?

Hello,

Where is dataset 'IMS710.&SSID..PSBLIB' ?

Wherever someone chose to put it. . . Note that part of the dsn is a symbolic parameter and may be different for different executions. Look at the resolved dsn (after the &SSID has been replaced by the actual value) in the catalog listing or via tso/ispf 3.4. This will tell you "where" the dataset resides.

Suggest you post the complete jcl and control statements for this "special" job.

Looks to me like they are IMS DBAs as these are jobs to generate PCBs and DBDs and do something else IMS-ish. Nothing much that you could not figure out yourself with a bit (lot) more experience. I mean, if you do not know what a JCL symbolic is then you are very new to mainframe IT as that is one of the first things I learned.

My freidns.
These are complete JCL source (whitout comments). I want to learn about these.YES those dataset are JCL symbolic dataset. But I do'nt know what does it work exactly.
What's the meaning of "TYPE=MODBLKS" ? In last JCL.
What's the meaning of "TYPE=MATRIX" ? In last JCL.
What's the meaning of "TYPE=ACB" ? In last JCL.
And where is there? AND What is their quiddity.
Thanks a lot

Do you have access to IMS manuals (if not, get them from IBM web site for free).

The book you want is called "Utilities Reference: System". For version 9, the book was dfsursg1.pdf.

You seem to be caught it the middle of something bigger, so be prepared to hear a lot of "if you have to ask THAT kind of question, you shouldn't mess with it."

The last JCL may be an in-house procedure in which case only people in your organisation would know. Find the procedure and study it - you should then understand the parameters you mention.

Hello,

These are complete JCL source (whitout comments).

Ah, Err, Umm - NO these are not complete. . .

"These" are execution jcl - you need to post the PROCedure being involed as well.
