CONNECT:Direct Upgrade May Require Changes in Data Set Names (MVS North)
On March 28, a new version of CONNECT:Direct (sometimes known as network data mover, or NDM) will be in production on the MVS North System. This facility, which allows host-to-host file transfer of financial data, will be upgraded to a version of NDM that is year-2000 compliant. The on-line facility will remain unchanged—although, in batch mode, some data set names will need to be changed.
JCL Changes for Batch Jobs
Use the old code through March 27 (Saturday). Beginning March 28 (Sunday), the old JCL code will give you the message, "Network data moved not available." The change to be made on March 28 is simple—change the JCL code "NDM22" to "NDM32" to refer to the new version. An example of the new JCL with the change in bold type:
//EXEC PGM=DMBATCH,REGION=1024K,PARM=(YYSLYNN)
//STEPLIB DD DISP=SHR,DSN=PCC.NDM32.LINKLIB
//DMNETMAP DD DISP=SHR,DSN=PCC.NDM32.NETMAP
//DMPUBLIB DD DISP=SHR,DSN=PCCSYS.NDM.PROCESS.LIB
//DMMSGFIL DD DISP=SHR,DSN=PCC.NDM32.MSG
//DMPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
