among the most important parameters for DSFRRC00 are ...
PROGRAM_NAME
PSB_NAME
check the execution jcl and You will find it there
sometimes for better understanding of what is going on
the psb_name is the same as the program_name |

| The PSBName is not mentioined in the parameter. Its just a Symbolics which i would have to override. As i am not sure of the PSB name i am unable to override too. |

| If this is a process that is currently running, then you could also check the system logs. |

| Check is your execution JCL library. This is a PROC that is executed from JCL where the symbolics will be defined. Scan for the name of your PROC. |

Please tell me you are not Kidding, is this symbolic no where defined in your JCL ? I don't happen to accept it, please assist me. |

| Some are not familiar with "PROC" libraries or their corresponding "execting JCL" libraries. They may be familiar with the "PEND" statement for instream JCL execution - however not how things work in the production environment. Many installations use "auto schedule" JCL which go thru things like CA-7 and CA-11 to manage their jobs. Posters here must remember - or be aware - that we do not know what exists in their particular environment. |

Hello Brindha Christy,
Do you have your question resolved?
When you submit a job, do you understand the jcl being submitted? If you have any questions about your process and post your jcl here, someone will be able to clarify.
All of the specifics about your system will be on your system and known by the people who support the system for your organization. If you have not done so already, it would be good to talk with other developers who work on the same system.
We can provide a lot generic assistance and sometimes even specific assistance, but what we can do for specific assistance is limited by what we are provided (i.e. what you post) or by making a lucky guess. |

Different companies have different standards. A lot of places insist that you test with the same PROC (JCL) that you will be using in production. The symobolics make that easy. Your execution test JCL in test points to test stuff.
Some companies do not even use PROCs - surprising - but they don't. Some companies set up a region for submitting BMP jobs thru a message switch from an MPP which then submits the job thru the internal reader.
You should be able to scan both your test and production libraries to find out which jobs submit that particular procedure and thus what the symobolics are. |

This proc is a new one which we are trying to develop. The job also needs to be created new for this proc.
In the document for this proc, they stated one of the PSB to be used. But when we trying running using that PSB, i am getting an error stating that the PSB is in-correct.
So i am just trying to figure out if there is anyother way in finding the correct PSB name with just the Program load module name.
Hope this clarifies. |

Please please use a bit of logic...
the procedure is new,
the application doc is there and give ...
the program name and
the psb name to be used
the only way out is to reread the docs an build a proper psb. full stop
no searching, no forum posting, no forums replies, will help You to discover
what is missing and/or what has not be done properly.
start from scratch on the activity checklist hoping to find where the error has occurred |

| I am a VERY STRONG advocate of each program having it's own PSB with a matching name. Find a PSB with similar processing options and copy it. |

the main point here is that they do not have the slightest idea of what the program is supposed to do
TS said that they have only the name of the excutable program

I would say that a wrong psb is the smallest of their problems |

| Execute the start command in the region that you abended. Do a /dis pgm all to make sure you are in the correct region. |

| How is PSB and ACBGEn related? If we delete a PCB should the ACB Gen also be deleted? |

A PSB is a "program specification block" - it tells your program and IMS what you want to do with specific databases and the segments within. Never-ever-ever use someone else's PSB - you will cause them problems and they will get angry - if you find a PSB that has similar specifications to what you need - just copy it and name it to your corresponding program name.
When you are going to develop something new in an online environment, IMS needs to know about the transactions. An ACBGEN gives IMS that information. Here is the link to learn about it....

It is an IMS operator command. Not exactly sure, but try:
1. IMS master console
2. z/OS console - as a response to outstanding reply
3. SDSF syslog display. |
