Whenever i create a JCL PARM, BINDPARM, or Sort card, it always gives me an error MEMBER IS ISPF PACKED FORMAT when doing JCL CHECK. Then i need to do NUM OFF to correct this. It started happening few days ago and i am not sure what went wrong.
Even when i do NUM OFF, next time when i open the member, i get the profile overridden message and again i have to do the NUM OFF. Please provide any suggestions how to avoid this? |

Profile overridden messages means what?
Packed format is nothing to do with + NUM OFF ( Atleast to my knowledge )
Try the following commands
1.Profile unlock
2.PACK OFF
3.Profile lock
and see what happens |

I tried this and it doesn't work. I mean if i keep on giving num off for every member i edit every time, it solves the problem but its a burden to do that every time. To give you an example, i edit a cobol code and move to Endevor.
When i edit, i got following profile override message
| Code: |
EDIT SS5326.G5326AH.AUG1312.COBBAT.COBOL(M5326S Profile overridden
Command ===> Scroll ===> CSR
****** ***************************** Top of Data ******************************
==MSG> -Warning- The UNDO command is not available until you change
==MSG> your edit profile using the command RECOVERY ON.
==MSG> -CAUTION- Profile is set to STATS ON. Statistics did not exist for
==MSG> this member, but will be generated if data is saved.
000100 *************************
000200 IDENTIFICATION DIVISION.
000300 *************************
000400
|
Now when i moved the code to Endevor, its showing all the junk value(possibly in Hex format) and program failed to compile.
| Code: |
000001 F & : * : 0d10036 pIDENTIFICATION DIVISION. : 0d20035 : *
000002 35 mPROGRAM-ID. M5326S73. : 0d50031 kAUTHOR. RAJ : 0d60

|
So i need to do NUM OFF, HEX OFF to solve this problem. Hope i am able to explain the problem. |

| What does your profile look like when you display it? Have you checked your various settings? |

Hello,
What you are calling "Hex words" are the member in packed format.
When editing the member you need to try:
Type PACK OFF in the command area and press Enter.
Then SAVE the member. It should no longer have the packed format. . . |

| Hi Dick, Thanks for the reply. Yes, i can solve this probelm using pack off, num off, Hex off and all. But i have to do it everytime on every member i create or edit. I don't know how it started as 2 weeks ago everything was working fine. |

Hello,
Suggest you speak with your Endevor and/or TSO/ISPF support and determine if there is a problem with this particular dataset.
If you continue to do this member by member, i believe the only things needed are the PACK OFF and the SAVE. |

the problem is not the profile LOCK and friends...
the TS has still to <open> and save each member to unpack it. |

| I thought I heard somewhere that IBM was dropping the PACK command. However, I see it is still there. |

Understanding is good  - however, i don't know the answer 
No one here packs anything - too many surprises.
Other than myself and a handful of others, all of the developers use ROSCOE. . . |

I have solved the problem though it took me 3-4 hours to figure out what to do. Anyways instead of using the Rexx or any tool, I login to an alias mainframe region and deleted my *.ISPF.ISPPROF dataset of the region i am facing that HEX problem. Now when i logon again to the mainframe region, it created the Profile dataset again and problem resolved.
I know its avoding the problem instead of understanding and hitting on it but it worked for me. |

Hello,

| ROSCOE what is that ? |
ROSCOE is a product from CA that provides a different kind of editor. It is somewhat similar to tso/ispf for the programmer (i.e. pf7&8 scroll forward and backward), but is completely different internally. In addition to working with a proprietary library system, it will also work with a pds or flat file.
Needless to say, this doesn't even scratch the surface. If you want more info just now, suggest you go ro the CA web site and read about ROSCOE.
If you find yourself working on a ROSCOE system, then would be the time to learn specifics. |
