Re: best practise on updates to USER DIRECT #VMCE


 

Hi Bert,
To verify a USER DIRECT file, issue: DIRECT USER [ DIRECT [ A]] ( EDIT
To activate?a USER DIRECT file, omit the EDIT parameter.

Issue the DIRECT command from the MAINT ID, It has the correct?
MDISK entry to allow disk where the object directory is written.

The DIRECT command became DIRECTXA?in later VM versions after VM/370.

Getting started with VM/370 and would like some help.

On a change to the USER DIRECT I used to do:

  1. save a current diskmap diskmap user (disk
    • Check for GAP and OVERLAP
  2. save the current USER DIRECT copy user direct a = direct01 = (olddate
  3. update xedit user direct a
  4. verify the syntax directxa user direct a (edit
    • watch for error messages.
  5. save a diskmap of new USER DIRECT diskmap user (disk
    • Check for GAP and OVERLAP
  6. activate the new USER DIRECT directxa user direct a
    • watch for error messages.

Step 3 I now use edit or ee But for step 4 and 6 I fail to find the current vm/370 command.

What is the correct command for step 4 and 6.

Or is it simply acessing the correct MAINT minidisk?

Maybe not, as I used to use directXA.

Thank you,

Bert
