Re: Port of SQLITE ?
I'm playing with porting SQLite to VM/370 CE CMS. It may not be possible - I have to solve a few issues around truncating files and committing data to disk. Both of those are outside the normal realm

Hi Fish, Send me your address (offline, not here) and the next time the hard drives and NVMe or SSD drives (if your motherboard can support NVMe) go on a good sale I'll have some shipped to you. Brian

Re: To merge shadow files, or not to merge shadow files ...
Hi Fish, The reason I use DASDCOPY64 is because I am then left with an unchanged old BASE and shadow 1 that can be mix/matched with later maintenance to get to just the level of maintenance I want.?

I also use shadow files, but unlike Fish, I do (occasionally) merge them.? I usually do this once per year.? I think that Fish doesn't have the same issue that arises when you apply maintenance to

Re: BREXX DO loop counting weirdness
Ross, I think you deserve a huge thank you for your tenacity in tracking down this problem. It was a really sticky one. Despit it being exonerated I still think the GCC log() could do with a clean-up.

To merge shadow files, or not to merge shadow files ...
I'm considering merging my disks' shadow files into their base files. Why? Well, because ... I dunno, it seems like I don't need the ability to undo literally everything I've ever done on my VM/CE

Re: I forgot the VOLSER of drives (3380) I created
Can dasdls be changed to print the volser if there is a VOL1 record, but no DSCB 4? I don't understand why the lack of a DSCB 4 would prevent detection of the VOLSER?
