What is the Vtam command to load the Log Mode table (IDB2LTBL) used in the RAF setup?

[MikeAM]

So my client has created and assembled the log mode table, IDB2LTBL. He used the LLA command to refresh the Vtam load library after compiling the table. Now he needs to load it into the active Vtam environment, and is having difficulty getting this done. So the log mode table is new to the environment, doesn't previously exist. 

Some examples of commands he used that failed:

F NET,TABLE,ID=IDB2LTBL,NEW=IDB2LTBL,OLD=*,OPT=ASSOC,TYPE=MODE  

IST097I MODIFY ACCEPTED                                         

IST863I MODIFY TABLE COMMAND FAILED-IDB2LTBL NOT FOUND 357      

IST864I NEWTAB=IDB2LTBL, OLDTAB=*, OPT=ASSOCIATE, TYPE=MODETAB  

IST935I ORIGIN=***NA***, NETID=***NA***, ID=IDB2LTBL     

 

F NET,TABLE,ID=IDB2LTBL,NEW=IDB2LTBL,OPT=ASSOC,TYPE=MODE  

IST456I OLDTAB REQUIRED PARAMETER OMITTED                   

F NET,TABLE,NEW=IDB2LTBL,OLD=IDB2LTBL,OPT=LOAD                   

IST097I MODIFY ACCEPTED                                          

IST863I MODIFY TABLE COMMAND FAILED-OLD TABLE WAS NOT IN USE 364 

IST864I NEWTAB=IDB2LTBL, OLDTAB=IDB2LTBL, OPT=LOAD, TYPE=**NA**    

 F NET,TABLE,NEW=IDB2LTBL,OPT=LOAD                                

 IST097I MODIFY ACCEPTED                                          

 IST863I MODIFY TABLE COMMAND FAILED-OLD TABLE WAS NOT IN USE 368 

 IST864I NEWTAB=IDB2LTBL, OLDTAB=IDB2LTBL, OPT=LOAD, TYPE=**NA**    

 

It would be handy for me to know what the syntax is for future reference.

Try the following command:  F NET,TABLE,TYPE=MODETAB,OPTION=LOAD,NEWTAB=IDB2TBL

If that does not prove successful, recycling VTAM will work.

Hi Jamie,

 

I heard back from the client. The command did not work. This is the error they received:

F NET,TABLE,TYPE=MODETAB,OPTION=LOAD,NEWTAB=IDB2TBL              

IST097I MODIFY ACCEPTED                                           

IST863I MODIFY TABLE COMMAND FAILED-OLD TABLE WAS NOT IN USE 739 

IST864I NEWTAB=IDB2TBL, OLDTAB=IDB2TBL, OPT=LOAD, TYPE=**NA**    

 

Oops!  Just reviewed the command more closely. The table name is misspelled. Should be IDB2LTBL, not IDB2TBL. Unfortunately the client Vtam sysprog used the command as is. Will let him know, and update the question accordingly.

Update: 

Heard back from the client. He updated the syntax to use the correct table name, exact same result. He opened a ticket with IBM, will let me know what he learns.

Hello, 

Did you hear from the client? Do you know if it was solved ? 

Thank You!
