Re: Why is it still there?
Any program that returns to the operating system by branching to the address it was told when it initially got control is assumed to have completed successfully. The return code does not matter from MVS's point of view. It does of course from the application's point of view, since it tells the user whether the program could do its task as it was requested. If the program fails either becaue some OS service it called decided to abnormally end (abend) the program of because the programmer decided that in a specific case it should ABEND (which is an MVS service), then and only then does MVS consider the program has abnormally ended. If you see STEP WAS EXECUTED - COND CODE on the step end message, the program succeeded in MVS's eyes. is the decimal return code from the program and is in the range of 0 - 4095 If you see COMPLETION CODE - SYSTEM=sss USER= REASON= then the program has or has been abnormally ended. If sss in nonzero, it was abended by a service routine and sss is the hexadecimal abend code. If is nonzero, the abended was coded by the programmer asked for an abend with the decimal abend code (0-4095).

Re: Interesting problem for y'all
Is there a command that shows how much real space is left in an HFS that is allowd to grow into extents? Considering that multiple data sets compete for the space on a given DASD volume and given the fact that HFSs can be multi- volume any command can only tell how much is left on the current volume at the time the command queries the DASD's free space. It may already be obsolete information at the time the command displays the result. And how would you go about the candidate volumes? You don't know what size (models) they are until a first extent is allocated and a volume is selected. I don't say such a command is usless but I doubt one can be implemented to return usefull information.

Re: 27x132?
2. 'arbitrary and capricious screensizes' are fine if the application accepts them for what they are - that is, the person who wrote the application doesn't consider the presentation space dimensions arbitrary and capricious. Peter Hunkelrer seems to be having problems with an application which isn't quite as flexible as he would like and seems to be making unwarranted assumptions when faced with non-standard column dimensions. The problems I had with the application was that it abended with S0C4 when the screen size was anything else than the mod2/3/4/5 sizes. They fixed this. I can now have 132x60 and that's fine. I understand and accept it might be a major effort to adapt a program to cope with arbitrary screen sizes and nobody is willing to pay for such a useless :-) change these days. That's ok.

Problem with Contorl-M is that it seems to write either 80 column lines or 132 column lines but nothing else.

Re: Anyone using graphical ISPF?
Also, speaking of START, and jumping around various ISPF screens, the early versions of Borland Turbo C and Pascal used to have a number on one of the status lines in square brackets showing the number of (hidden) windows you had open. By pressing on or tabbing to one of these numbers, you could jump straight to the appropriate window. Very, very time saving. I have setup some PCOM macros tohelp me jumping around. I'm used to work in ISPF with Tab to action bar choices OFF and the command line on top. This way, the HOME key puts the curson on the command line. With this setting as a prerequisite, I setup macros to issue the key sequence HOME - 1 - PF9, HOME - 2 - PF9, an so on. The macros are then assiged to CTRL-F1, CTRL-F2, etc. Except when the current panel does not have a command line at the top, pressing CTRL-Fn brings me to session n. Not exactly the Borlan behaviour but something the like.

Data set ENQueues and DEQueues in Jobs
We've got some discussion here about DSN ENQueueing and DEQueueing in batch jobs. Is is my understanding and experience that the initiator will ENQ on all data sets referenced in the JCL (all steps) at job initiation time. The job will not start even the first step before all ENQs have been granted. So a job might be WAITING FOR DATASETS even if the one not yet available is only referenced in step nn (nn 1). At step end, the initiator will DEQ any DSNs that are no longer needed, i.e. those which are not referenced on a DD in any later step. It is also my understanding that this is initiator business and therefore works the same way in either JES2 or JES3 environments. (I don't talk about main device secheduling in JES3, which only handles devices, not DSN ENQs). My colleague claimes that he once was told by an ISV that in a JES2 environment two jobs can be serialized on a certain step by coding a DISP=OLD/MOD DD for a data set in the step to be seriallzed. The jobs would then execute in parallel until they come to that specific step. They also said that this will not work in a JES3 environment because JES3 behaves as I described above. This contradicts my understanding (and experience). Can anybody enlighten me if this has changed in either JES2 or JES3, and if so when this change happended. I seem to remember as far back as MVS/XA that the job-level-ENQ behaviour is how it works. Am I wrong?

Re: Help with some Acronyms Please
SDBM I think the S stands for Security and as Ulrich mentioned was meant as a pointer to RACF which is used as the DBM (Data Base Manager) in this case. TDBM Funny story if I remember it correctly: First version of LDAP had a Relational Data Base Manager, i.e. DB2 on z/OS, as the general backend. Hence RDBM. Next version, while still supporting the RDBM model, implemented a new table design with the backend DBM (mainly for performance reasons). A name had to be chosen for this new model. T was the next letter after R and S in the alphabet, both of which were already in use by LDAP. So, the new model was given the name TDBM. You had the choice of using either the RDBM or the TDBM model of LDAP for its data base backend (both BD2 but different table setup). I don't know if RDBM is still supported with the current release of LDPA on z/OS.

Re: 64-bits is a really big number! - was z/OS level for SETFRR for AMODE(64)
So assuming you could use the whole drive, the number of these current generation drives that you would need to back a single address space is (2**64)/(2**38) = 2**(64-38) = 2**26 = 67,108,864 Back in my old life I once did a presentation at an IBM customer meeting trying to illustrate how much 2**64 is. Besides a similar DASD device calculation, I also did a simpified swap time calculation. At 100MB/s sustained transfer speed, it takes 5850 years to transfer all bytes of a single 64bit AS. Make that 10GB/s and use 100 devices in parallel it still takes 210+ days. According to Word, the PoP has about 4'000'000 characters and is roughly 5cm thick. So 4 of them fit into one 16MB AS and this corresponds to a pile of paper of 20cm height. Going to 31bit multiplies these figures by 128: 512 PoPs and 25.6 meters. Going to 64bit from 31bit multiplies them by another 8 billions: 4400 billion PoPs and you can travel all the way from the Earth to the sun and half this distance further on on that bridge of PoPs. have good journey :-) History has shown all these this will sufficce forever statements have provben that forever is a relatively short period of time.

FW: Coupling Facility -- needed?
In other words, it may be hype/marketting, but it's also an insurance policy. Pay for the best you can afford, which also includes risk management. Which costs more? The outage? The cost to prevent that outage? PS: I always have gone with at least 2 CF's in production. I do not disagree with what you said, but they,ve got one single CEC and one of the questions was whether they'd need two *ICFs*. While I agree that two CF partitions are a must as soon as you go multi-CEC, I don't see much benefit in having two CF partitions on a single CEC. ICF processors is another point to discuss. What is the better choice, two ICFs and no more spare or one ICF and one spare? Not sure whether a CF partition can survive an ICF failure when there is an available spare, but if it does this answers the question I think. If not, well, with two ICFs and no spare you've got a safety net for the ICF but what about the SAP? Talking about storage for the CF partition: This really only depends on what structures you place in the CF and how heavy they're used. If you only use XCF, GRS, JES2, OPERLOG, LOGREC and Catalog Sharing, you're probably far below 1GB. If you start DB2 data sharing, if can quickly grow.

The clipboard will start from the Beginning with 'C' and can be added to with 'K'. I can' find this funktion in z/OS. I'am used to create complete programs or large subroutines with this funktion.

Re: USS (was: Re: Western Digital Loses ...)
Even component prefix is not always uniques. See IKJn messages. Some of them belongs to RACF. How do you know they belong to RACF? I admit IKJ messages sometimes appear where you wouldn't expect TSO routines to be involved. I guess that has historically grown. Anyway, no two different modules should issue the same numbered IKJ (or whatever) message. It need not to be unique. It is *strongly suggested*. It is *convenient*. But the system and systems programmers can surviver without full uniquity. Component prefixes need to be unique, otherwise a module of one component can inadvertantly be replaced by another module from another component, both residing in the same load library. Mainframe has a lot of such standards. For example: Sn libraries are target libraries (DDDEFs), while A libraries are distribution libraries. *Usually*. With a number of exceptions, like LINKLIB or LPALIB (no S). Many of them are exceptions because they existed before those rules arised. These again aren't component prefixes. It's a naming convention, and I agree, there very often are exceptions to conventions.

Re: OMVS SERVICES submit as batch
I understood that he's asked to avoid the STC for forked() / spawned() UNIX processes. If this is the question, then the answer is there is no way. forked() / spawned() UNIX processe run in BPXAS address spaces and these are STCs started by WLM. This similar to the JES initiators which are started by JES and are STCs. A difference is that the JES initiator address spaces will change to type JOB as long as the initiator is serving a batch job; WLM's UNIX process address spaces will continue to be seen as type STC even when it is serving a process.

Re: OMVS SERVICES submit as batch
As an aside, it is quite normal in the UNIX world to start long running work similar to the following: nohup unix-command ..params.. input.data standard.output.messages 2error.messages I've not tried this on z/OS to see if it works. And on most current UNIX systems, the user is sitting on a X server and running multiple xterms, so they (like a Windows person) just uses another xterm and leaves the long running command going. I also tend to do this, except that I may use screen to put the command into a virtual terminal so that I can disconnect and reconnect it (like you can a VTAM session manager). Why should that not work? You may start another shell session or xterm to continue to work but that's not necessary, since you're sending the command to the background (this is what the trailing does). You can continue to work in the current shell session while the background job is executing.

Re: Should the /dev file system be a TFS?
Ours is an ordinary HFS created just for /dev .

It is automatically defined at IPL if it does not exist then. Someone might inadvertently have deleted the /dev/null (character special) file. The next one to use it might have created a (regular) file /dev/null. You might want to delete /dev/null just before IPL to get a correct entry again.

Re: Default permission bits on USS files
The UMASK in UNIX controls the permission bits that get set. No, this is not correct. UMASK controls the bits that will *not* be set upon file creation. With umask 000, the bits initially set on a new file solely depend on the program creating the file. When umask is anything other than 000, the permission bits corresponding to the bits *set* in the umask will *not* be set on the new file no matter what the creating program specifies. The creating program in the case of ftp, is the ftp server on 'put' and the ftp client on 'get' commands. As per documentation, z/OS ftp does never set the execution bit when creating z/OS UNIX files, and this is also what I see when testing. So, I wonder how you get 775 on your files.

The data set contains some 9.3 million records. Q2: Why is it that OUTFIL needs so many more EXCPs than the simple COPY?
