Title: (Paraphrase problem in a single statement)VSE ESDS 4 Gig Limitation

Detailed Problem Description: (Description of what you want changed - 400 character entry limit)

 

In VSE, the limitation of ESDS 4 Gig file structuring exist because of RBA addressing. The problem lies when we do a conversion, that need a temporary ESDS working files for a large files. Those files cannot be defined as extralarge datasets since the program will not allow us to write records which is not in squential order in KSDS. Z/OS do have this capability, why not VSE?

                                                                                            

Priority: (Select one: Urgent - High - Medium - Low) High

Requested Completion Date: (When? Examples: 3 months, 1 year, Next Release) 1 year

Requirement Type: (Select one: Acceptability - Compatibility/Migration - Ease of Use - Feature/Function - Performance - Reliability/Availability/Serviceability - Packaging - Interoperability)

Performance

Business Justification: (Why? Non-technical business case description. Do not reword Detailed Problem Description from above. What are the benefits to be gained by your company, and the vendor and others?  Quantify: run time, dollars, manpower, etc.   Why should the vendor do this for the customer?)

 

Conversion runtime will improved significantly because we can remove all the splitting and merging of the temporary working files. End of day processing also will improve since writing to ESDS file is faster than writing to Extralarge KSDS file.

Solution: (Optional)(Desired/undesired elements Note: Making a suggestion may limit a vendors ability to deliver a solution)

 

Impact: (Optional) (How will your company’s business be affected if a solution is not delivered?)

 

Every conversion or branch rationalisation exercise will be a downtime to online because of the amount of time taken to split, convert and merge the files.
