- Content : Question
- Summary : MVS Transport Lib running 6.07??
- System(s) : MVS/ESA/SAS6.07
- Name : David Nasser
-
- Am I supposed to be able to write an MVS SAS transport *library* to
- disk running SAS6.07?
-
- I thought it was as simple as allocating the transport library
- and writing numerous members (type "data") to it.
-
- But after I run something like:
-
- //YR1 DD DSN=YEAR1,UNIT=CART,DISP=OLD
- //YR2 DD DSN=YEAR2,UNIT=CART,DISP=OLD
- .
- .
- //YR8 DD DSN=YEAR8,UNIT=CART,DISP=OLD
- //TRANS DD DSN=TRANS,DISP=OLD,DCB=(RECFM=FB,LRECL=80,BLOCKSIZE=8000)
-
- LIBNAME TRANS XPORT 'TRANS';
- DATA TRANS.YR1;
- SET YR1.YEAR1;
- KEEP thisun thatun;
- .
- .
- DATA TRANS.YR8;
- SET YR8.YEAR8;
- KEEP thisun thatun;
-
- CONTENTS tells me that the only member in the lib is TRANS.YR8. Per
- the LOG, all 8 were written, hence they were writing over one-another?
-
- I know that this sort of thing was practical to do running _some_
- version of SAS on *some* platform, tho I recognize that many of my
- brain cells may have self-destructed in the interim. Seems I assumed
- that it is practical running MVS/SAS6.07.
-
- But how do you spell a-s-s-u-m-e???
-
- Prosit,
