How to switch UID under OMVS
Hi all, Anyone know how to switch the UID under OMVs. I try to use SU but failed. #id uid=0(EDPXPER) gid=2(SYS1) when I invoke using the TSO OMVS with userid TEST001, it always show the EDPXPER and cannot be changed to other TEST001.

CRC checksum generation on COBOL for the full file
Hi, I have got a requirement to calculate the checksum of the full file for COBOL based application running on a mainframe. I have the CRC checsum calculating assembler routine which can calulate the checksum for one record or for a portion of working-storage but I need the checksum to be calculated on the whole file after it has been complteley created. The number of records in the file also is not fixed so how many bytes the file is occupying can not be fixed in the begining.

Re: Strange behavior of START command(Keyword parms)
IIRC, I had the same error on a START LLA,SUB=MSTR before. I think I blamed it on automation. The only error case appears to be when you specify the device type / device number on the command. There must be some good reason to specify that, it just does not come to me at the moment.. So if you don't need to, don't, and you won't encounter the error.

Re: How to switch UID under OMVS
Hi Tommy, It appears that both EDPXPER and TEST001 have a uid=0. If this is the case, then what you are seeing is working as designed. If there are multiple uid's with the same value (0 in this case), the name associated with the display of the uid (for instance with as ls -l command) is only guaranteed to be one with that numeric uid. There is no guarantee for the name to be a name associated with a specific instance of the numeric uid.

Re: Future date USS
Arun, If a D T from the console of your Test LPAR shows the correct future date, then you are probably running into the same problem that was discussed here a few days ago und the heading of COBOL ACCEPT DATE Without being able to test this myself right now (I don't have access to a z/OS system at this time), I suspect that the date command is looking at the system's hardware clock in the HMC or sysplex timer, not the LPAR's software clock and therefore returns a seemingly incorrect date. In order to retrieve the correct time from the software clock, you need to use programs, commands, functions and/or subroutine calls that are documented as obtaining the software clock's date and time. If your Test LPAR is still IPLed with the future date, what happens if you do the following: Create a USS file in the Temp directory or your own USS user directory List the directory and look at the file's creation/change date Does it show the future date? IMHO, they should.

Re: Source of COBOL ACCEPT DATE

Re: z/Expo questions
Lionel -- I've been attending z/Expo (now System z Expo) as a speaker since 1999. I don't believe there is an online tool, though they have very good printed agenda when you arrive onsite. There are not as many subject areas as at Share: z/OS, z/VM, z/VSE and Linux. Within these areas sessions are categorized into 12 groups such as G: General System z Technology, Z: z/OS System Software and Parallel Sysplex, P: WLM and z/OS Performance, W: z/OS Transactions, DB and Networking, L: Linux on System z, etc. The 'big' difference is that some of the very popular sessions are repeated during the week. For example Kathy Walsh from the Washington System Center is presenting WSC z/OS Performance Hot Topics on Wednesday at 4:10 and Thursday at 2:35. Peter Enrico is presenting WLM - Revisiting Goals in 2008 on Wed at 10:15 and Thur at 1pm. Sessions are 1h15m long. I add pages to my sessions and can cover more in the session than at Share. There usually is (and I'm told there will be) a wireless connection available throughout the conference area. I don't believe the sessions are online, but you'll receive a CD of the entire conference which I often view and take notes on during sessions rather than the paper handouts. They are in PDF format, so to take notes on the files, you need some additional software. I use Adobe Acrobat, but they may be other tools.

Re: Good Auditors (was: Vary devices online and offline)
In this case, there was no game-playing. We had an agency using our system that wanted to create only a small number of IDs and have all their staff share those IDs. When we informed them that it was contrary to our policy, they wanted the chapter and verse. Due to personnel turn-over, we were having trouble finding it, so the question was sent to the auditor. Her response was relayed to the requestor, and that was the end of that idea. I have missed her on the last two audits.

Re: Vary devices online and offline
There can still be a serious problem with mass VARY commands despite the
huge improvements in CONSOLE and contention management, depending on how
the commands are issued. We experienced some episodes of severe degradation
while installing some new DASD subsystems. Our storage guys ran jobs on
member of a sysplex that issued a large number of commands like this:
ROUTE *ALL,V ,ONLINE or OFFLINE
Command processing got so backed up that automation failed to respond to
some message traps for over an hour! The problem turned out to be
'aggregation', one system's attempt to gather responses from multiple
systems and display them all at once. It turns out that aggregation can
lead to a huge backlog of responses from ROUTEd commands even when the
commands are spaced out. Workaround is a little noticed parameter T=nnn on
the ROUTE command. From System Commands:
RO {sysname,text }
{[T=nnn,]{*ALL }[,L={a }] }
{sysgrpname }{name}
{*OTHER }{name-a }
{(sysname[,sysgrpname,sysname...])}
T= Specifies an optional timeout interval. T= is valid with *ALL, *OTHER,
sysgrpname, or a list of system names or sysgrpnames. You can specify a
value from 0 to 999. This value indicates the maximum number of seconds MVS
waits for responses from each system before aggregating the responses.
If you specify T=0, MVS does not aggregate command responses, but
individually sends responses to the originator.
Notes:
1. IBM recommends that you specify T=0 when you are routing the START and
STOP commands to multiple systems. This is because the system does not
collect aggregate responses for routed START and STOP commands. If you
attempt to do so (if T= is nonzero), the system states that there is no
response from all of the systems, and all the START and STOP command
responses are displayed inline.
2. IBM does not recommend that you specify T=0 for most DISPLAY commands.
Command responses from most DISPLAY commands appear in an out-of-line
display area, and the responses from multiple DISPLAY commands can be
written into the same area one right after the other, so that only the last
one is readable. If there is no display area defined, or if L=Z is used,
the responses are inline, but will probably roll off the console. Responses
from ROUTE with T=0 and a DISPLAY command specified could be useful to an
automation program and as a hardcopy record, but not for a human operator.
I myself would add Note 3: If you are issuing commands from within a batch
job, you don't care about aggregation, so please do specify T=0 to save
yourself a lot of grief.

SHARE requirement of possible interest to this group
If you are a SHARE member and are not currently registered to participate in the LNGC requirement process, I would like to suggest that the following requirement MIGHT be of sufficient interest to you - so that you (or someone in your installation) will register and participate in LNGC processing. The requirement just put in the Open for Discussion status is: SSLNGC07008 - Exception criteria options for LE SYSMDUMP RTO The discussion begins, Need the ability to tell LE to take a SYSMDUMP based off a jobname, abend code, and additional criteria (such as program name, CSECT name) similar to what SLIP allows. The fact that LE issues abends for application programs limits the granularity of SLIP from using program/CSECT name. For instance in an IMS Message Processing Region the jobname may be IMSMPR1. There can be thousands of programs that execute within IMSMPR1 and millions of transactions executed. There can be several U40xx abends within IMSMPR1 on a given day. In an IMS MPR some shops do not allow dumps to be produced, to avoid bringing the region down. To gather dump information in a MPR, SLIP is set for the U40xx abend. However, the SLIP is limited by LE in that it can't be any more granular than abend code because the abend is always being issued by LE, not the application program. Before LE the SLIP could be set up for the jobname, abend code and the program/csect that was in control. *** If this (or any other LE, COBOL, PL/I, or C/C++) requirement might be of interest, please register for our project's requirement processing and give us your input. -- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
