Notes

List of notes for the GTDRECON procedure.

  • No user interaction with the EXEC is expected or required.
  • Region size for the job step might be estimated as:

    2n+4 MB

    where n is the size of the distribution file in MB.

  • The GTDRECON temporary data set size is allocated based on the number of records of the largest transmitted file that is contained within the stacked transmission file that is specified by indsn.
  • Input lines for SYSTSIN might be continued on subsequent lines by specifying the TSO continuation character (normally a hyphen or dash).
  • When REALLOCATE(YES) is specified, data sets with unexpired expiration dates are not deleted.
  • For greater speed, GTDRECON might be compiled with the REXX Compiler. In compiling GTDRECON, the SLINE compiler option must be specified and the compilation completes with RC=4. Ignore all FANGAO55W Unsupported TRACE options will default to OFF messages.
  • GTDRECON uses AMATERSE or TRSMAIN. A STEPLIB should not be required since AMATERSE (alias TRSMAIN) is in data set SYS1.MIGLIB and is included in the link list. For further information about AMATERSE, see IBM MVS Diagnosis: Tools and Service Aids.
  • AMATERSE and TRSMAIN allocate a temporary work data set that normally does not exceed 1.08 times the size of each target data set.
