Hi all, it's me again :')
Sorry but I need your help again.
I was trying to solve the REXX1 challange from the IBM “Fundamentals + Concepts” and, while trying to solve an error, I problably did something really wrong (idk what I did), now I can’t access my user, it shows:
“Required parameter ‘host’ must not be blank”
and
“Error: Profile Name zosmf is inactive. Please check if your Zowe server is active or if the URL and port in your profile is correct.”

I used to use IBM Personal Communications when at IBM. I use Linux now and want to connect in 3270 form. Anyone know of a good 3270 emulator that's similar in features to PCOMM but for Linux?

Hello Everyone!!!
I have problems when I put inactive the sys1.racfds.backup of the company (they are next to the primary as active). I execute the command RVARY INACTIVE DATASET(SYS1.RACFDS.BACKUP), it asks me for the password but it tells me that it is wrong or that it is too long (when I put 8 characters). This is the command I use to generate the password (as an example I put HAPPY):
SETROPTS RVARYPW(SWITCH(HAPPY) STATUS(RABBIT))
pd: it is in a company emulator, so there is no problem to test them but the thing is that nobody knows how to solve it. Any data is great for me.

Say i have table1 with copybook1 linked to it.
i expand table1 with new columns and eventually update copybook1 to reflect the said columns as well.
Im pretty sure i have to recomp all of the programs using copybook1 to pass the audit (changeman) but the minimum are programs who will be using the new fields.
the main question is when to re/bind. do i have to rebind all programs who uses the table1 or just the programs who will be using the new column ?
