Question & Answer
Question
When I issue the command "NSLOOKUP Mickey" the IP Address and fully qualified name is returned. When I issue "DIG Mickey"the name fails to be resolved.
Answer
DIG is designed for z/OS the same as on any other platform. It does not work the same way as NSLOOKUP works. It explains under the DIG parameter domain_name for z/OS that If the domain name does not exist in the default domain specified in the TCPIP.DATA data set, you must specify a fully qualified domain name. The default domain name is specified in the DOMAINORIGIN parameter. If you do not code this then you have to fully qualify domain name for the query.
