I am trying to delete a PS by using the remove function in C.
The C code I am using is
| Code: |
#include<stdio.h>
#include<stdlib.h>
int main()
{
int i;
char *p="xxxxxx.TEST.TEST1"; /*the PS we want to delete*/
i=remove(p);
printf("%d",i);
}
|
The compile bind and run jcl
| Code: |
//xxxxxxx JOB (DVLP,xxx),'xxx',USER=xxxxxx,CLASS=E,
// MSGCLASS=X,NOTIFY=&SYSUID
//*
//* COMPILE, BIND AND RUN
//*
//DOCLG EXEC CBCCBG,
// INFILE='xxxxxxx.NEW.BMS(REM)', -------->C CODE
// CPARM='OPTFILE(DD:CCOPT)'
//COMPILE.CCOPT DD *
LSEARCH('BMXSRP.HEADER')
SEARCH('CEE.SCEEH.+','CBC.SCLBH.+')
/* |
We are getting return code of the remove function -1..I am unable to understand where I am going wrong.Please help me out.I am stuck... |

I'm assuming that xxxxxx.TEST.TEST1 is not a Unix System Services file and that you're using POSIX(OFF) on your C compile. As specified in your code, your program is looking for a Unix System Services file to remove; it's probably not finding it and returning an error code.
Read the sections of the C/C++ Programming Guide having to do with file references -- in general, z/OS file names require //'DSNAME' to designate their non-Unix nature. |

| I have verified that changing the statement as indicated in my earlier post allows the program to run to zero completion code and deletes the z/OS file. |

Hi Robert Sample,thanx a lot...your suggestion helped.I was able to solve it...
Instead of
| Code: |
char *p="xxxxxx.TEST.TEST1";
|
I changed it to
| Code: |
char *p="DD: file1";
|
And I provided the DSN name in the Run Jcl with "file1" as the DD name.
With remove I was able delete PDS,PS aswell as VSAM files.
But I have some doubt with POSIX option...can you please clarify me why and how this option is used..??waiting for your reply... |

Googling "posix" returns 5,360,000 hits. POSIX is an international standard for the API and utilities compatible with Unix. POSIX is defined in something like 17 different documents and provides portability for applications that code to its standards.
There is a run-time option in z/OS C for POSIX support; how certain functions (such as remove) work is impacted by whether POSIX(ON) or POSIX(OFF) is specified. The Programming Guide has details. |
