Hi all,
In my shop, testing and Production datasets are stored at same disk spaces. They gave us a to use a storage class "USER". In my test JCLs some times developers miss to add STORCLAS=USER. And datasets are stored on Disks allocated to production.
Now I need to search for STORCLAS=USER in the JCL, for each step, each DSN which contains DISP=NEW and if it is not there I need to add it to that Dataset allocation statement.
EX: //dataset1 DD DSN=AA.BB.CC,
// DISP=(,CATLG,DELETE),
// UNIT=DISK,
// SPACE=(27998,(00999,0399),RLSE),
// DCB=(LRECL=3606,BLKSIZE=27998,RECFM=VB)
Here STORCLAS=USER is missed, I need to search this and to add STORCLAS=USER after UNIT=DISK.
As a tester, I dont have authority to write cobol pgms. I can write JCLs, REXX code.
Can somebody help me out to solve this using a JCL or REXX code. |

There are numerous threads on the forum for processing all members in a PDS, so a forum search would be the place to start.
Following that, you need to work out the logic of processing each DD name contained in each member to ensure the required values are present. And then the process to add any required fields.
However, if your storage management subsystem was correctly set up this problem would never arise. Maybe contact your storage people to resolve this, and put the fire out rather than running after it to repair the damage. |

see
ibmmainframes.com/viewtopic.php?t=32494&highlight=jcl+parser
for a jcl parser I wrote
when processing the DD statement just check if the storclass keyword is there
and modify or add the value as needed
anyway sms related DD parameter should not be used by users
proper standars specifications and properly written ACS should assign the right SMS classes to each dataset
simply based on the dataset name pattern
better review the whole setup  |

Mmmmmmmmmmm, the more I read this the more confused I get. And as a storage guy get frustrated and think to myself what F&%$!£G IDIOT set up the storage environment.
In one part you say that the datasets are stored on the same DASD, and then you go on to say that dev datasets are being stored on DASD allocated to production. So which is it, do they share a storage group or not.
I suppose the DFdss aould allow the datasets to be filtered and moved back to where they should be, but once again it really is a pigs ear of a storage environment you have there.
But look on the bright side, I will probably be available in July so if you need an experienced storagr guy - let me know. Reasonable rates  |

Peter, I see no reason why the DASD should not be available to both LPARs, assuming that is the case  but who knows if the DASD is shared then who knows what else is. If it is set up correctly then there are generally NO problems.
I usually set it up like that as quite often the prod support people need to perform a data refresh in one or more of the
sandpit / testing / acceptance environments. |

Hello expat,
i was just thinking about using ADRDSSU to dump data from a production
pack and use that to update my bank account (i was working for a bank)
and then restore the changed data.
In the past we were using ACF2 and that could be done. With RACF i dont know. |
