Bon Matin Listowners, I am trying to search the Data base 1) To avoid posting FAQ 2) To show users of my list how they can do the same when researching a topic Here is what I send (I guessed the commands from the LISTDB MEMO example, my guess is the SEARCH line creates a data set and the PRINT line dumps it) ----- Sent command to [log in to unmask] // JOB Database Search DD=Rules //Rules DD * S 1001 in LSTSRV-L LSTOWN-L PRINT //* ----- end of command ---- Error message received S 1001 in LSTSRV-L LSTOWN-L Internal error 1001 while calling LSVDBS, search cancelled. ---- end of error message Now as some may now know ;-), the extent of my VM (and MVS) knowledge is an afternoon in College 10 years ago to put a JOB through MUSIC using JCL templates. That said, is the syntax of the JOB command correct ? (I had the same result including th Echo=No on the JOB line). Does this means that this site (SEARN and Brown U. don't support mail submitted job ? Can it be 'cuz I don't have a "private" password (I read AFD is sensitive on the password issue) ? Any help very much welcome ! PS I tried to address the same job to other sites including the Netwide options and I got a "BLUES-L removed from search list" ... -- Eric Paul-Hus , "Database challenged" BLUES-L co-owner.
