Issue/Introduction
Question:
We are currently running NON_VSAM_XTIOT=NO (the z/OS default in our DEVSUP member).
Are there any known problems if we change the value of this option to YES ?
Environment:
CA Easytrieve Report Generator, Release 11.6
Answer:
CA Easytrieve has no compatibility problems reported, and there are no PTFs required at this time.
Additional Information:
Setting this to NO disables support for XTIOT, uncaptured UCB, and DSAB control blocks that reside above the 16-MB line for data sets that use BSAM, QSAM, or BPAM. The default value for NON_XTIOT is NO.
Setting this to YES enables support for XTIOT, uncaptured UCB, and DSAB control blocks that reside above the 16-MB line for data sets that use BSAM, QSAM, or BPAM.
This controls whether the access method OPEN macro supports these three options of the data set dynamic allocation function. Set NO if you are concerned that some programs, including installed products, might not correctly handle these options. You can set YES if all programs that might process data sets that were dynamically allocated by other programs can handle these options. Setting YES but not using these options has no effect on virtual storage or performance.
