We can use PASS with permanent datasets also. THEN Which is the condition in which we may use PASS (instead of KEEP) with permanent data sets, while there is no need to specify UNIT and VOL for them like temporary data sets (in cas we use KEEP for permanent data sets) ?

IBM,

Which storage devices are grouped under DASD and SYSDA ?

IBM,

When a dataset is UNCATALOGED in a JOBSTEP, how to get its UNIT and VOL in JCL to refer in subsequent steps ?

IBM,

FOR a GDG, the book by 'SABA ZAMEER' says 'We can NOT ALTER the LIMIT parameter after it is defined'. (p-211). But many persons have written that it can be changed, which one is true ?

IBM,

GDGs can be CREATED (not COPIED) only on DASD and NOT on tape drives ? Is it True ?

ABC, IBM,

How to ALTER the name of a GDG ?

IBM,

Can we DELETE all the Generations of a GDG at once, WITHOUT deleting the GDG itself ?

IBM,

Can a PROC CALL another PROC ? (in both Instream and Cataloged cases) ?

IBM,

A statement about PROCs is " In PROCs, Symbolic Parameters can be assigned on PROC and EXEC", BUT On which EXEC, (i) On the JCL's EXEC which is calling to PROC1. (Inside JCL, EXEC PROC1) (ii) or On the PROC's EXEC where it calls the PGM1. (Inside PROC, EXEC PGM=PGM1)

IBM,

Statement1 "We can not use UNCATLG in SMS managed VSAM datasets" Statement2 "We can not delete a SMS managed data set without UNCATLG it" (P-353, Saba Zameer book) Then how do we delete SMS managed VSAM datasets ?

IBM,

Is CPU time (TIME parameter) assigned to a JOB and JOBSTEP BOTH, by default ?

IBM,

What is the difference between a PDS member and a GDG Generation ? Is it only this, that with a generation we can use +1, 0, -1 etc while with PDS member we can not ?
