Re: Comparing datasets

In other words, is there a tool that could check if dataset A is a subset of dataset B, where A and B are sets of records (lines)? I can accomplish it using COMPARE ISPF edit function or SuperC Compare Utility, but datasets have to be sorted. Example: dataset A content: C1 B1 A1 dataset B content: A1 B1 C1 Result of editing A and comparing it to B: .O C1 .OAAAB B1 03 A1 == B1 == C1 Result of editing B and comparing it to A: .O A1 .OAAAB B1 03 C1 == B1 == A1 Background: I wanted to check if all cross product dependency PTFs of product A are already applied in product B. I generated two datasets, A and B respectively, and compared them in ISPF editor using COMPARE function. I was surprised with result so I read the tutorial looking for any parameter that could influence this behaviour, but haven't found any. There were no porblems to sort both datasets in this case, I am just curious.

another mainframe shut down - available
I got this approved by Darren. We are in the process of shutting our entire datacenter down because of a buyout. Our mainframe has been shut down and we are looking at disposing of it. Does anybody know of a computer room (or basement, or garage or anyplace else) that could become a new home for a z9-BC, scaled back to 15 MSUs? It's model is 2096-R01-G07, with 8 GB memory, 16 escon ports, 8 ficon ports, 2 OSA cards. Has an HMC as well. Also available is a TS3400 tape library, with 2-TS1120 drives, a 3592-C06 controller, and a tape HMC. We have a bunch of IBM x-series and p-series as well (along with a pile of other SAN and network equipment etc). Even the air conditioners, UPS units, and the raised floor need to be pulled!

Re: ADR938E - PROBLEM WITH FASTREPLICATION
Hmm, the RC=1 is odd, especially seeing that you found the problem 3390-27--3390-9. I would have expected it to have sent back a return code 2 indicating a problem on the target. I wonder what would have happened if you had changed it to FR(PREF) instead of FR(REQ). I know it would have tried to copy everything because you wouldn't have been able to do the FCNC parm, but it might have pointed out the size mismatch more quickly.

Re: Accessing USS on Mainframe thru Telnet
John, For the most part I agree with you, except in the first line of his actual post, the original poster made it quite obvious to anybody which of the two USS's he was referring to, which makes this current argument all the more stupid. I think this whole thing is painfully silly, as Mr. Mason will never give up on his crusade to stop anybody from using USS to refer to Unix stuff, and a few others seem to take delight in needling him on, and the vast majority of us would prefer the whole thing just dry up. No amount of cajoling will get either side to change their respective minds, but unfortunately apparently no amount of begging them to just give it up will make that happen either. And it's too bad, because I have been the recipient on a couple occasions of some of Mr. Mason's wisdom in regards to a VTAM issue that I was having. Unfortunately the gems get lost in the bickering.

manual tape library question
All, We just moved our mainframe to an LPAR on a different mainframe with completely different hardware. As part of the migration, I had to build a second manual tape library with different characteristics than the one I was using locally. My old library did not make the trip and now I need to remove the tapes and library from the configuration at the new site. My question is how do I remove the tapes from the now non-existent tape library? When I try to do a library eject command, I get an error saying the library cannot eject the tape: IEFC165I // LI E,100097,P 462 CBR1202I EJECT rejected. Library F1256 cannot eject volume 100095. LI E,100097,P CBR1920I E not scheduled. Command scheduling error. The response of CBR1202I is to bring the library back online and try again. I can't do that because the library doesn't exist. I can't move the tapes out of the MTL that doesn't exist either. A last-ditch thought is to delete the entries out of the OAM tape catalog. Thoughts? Suggestions? Thanks.

Frank, This is exactly what I'm looking for. The library that doesn't exist anymore only had 100 tapes in it. I need to remove the tapes and library from OAM and from the TCDB. I will need to leave the non-scratches in RMM because some of them have long retentions and I just need to keep track of the tapes themselves. If we ever need to actually get anything off the physical tapes, we will be contracting with a third party. I will try the IDCAMS DELETE VOLENT command against 1 of the scratch tapes to make sure it remains in RMM but gets removed from the TCDB before taking all of them out. My biggest concern was that there was something else that I might mess up by simply deleting them from the TCDB. I already have the SMS ACS routines modified to remove the library allocations from the system. Thanks so much.

A couple questions about z/OS consoles and TCPIP commands (and a potential HMC issue)
Hi list, I have a couple questions about commands that can be run from the console. First of all, is there a console command that can be used to display the MAC address of an OSA port? Second, is there a console command to ping an IP address out an OSA port? I scanned the manuals and didn't see anything for either of these. Here's the situation. We're trying to bring up a new LPAR on a remote machine. TCP/IP comes up, and it activates 1 of the 2 OSA ports we're supposed to be using. But we can't ping into the LPAR, and can't find any command that we could run from the console to see if we can ping out. Also, we are looking for the MAC address of the 2 OSA ports to see if the switch is even seeing them. As far as the HMC issue is, this is a z196 machine with a bunch of OSA cards in it - 12 to be exact. But if I go to the HMC, and look at the OSA advanced facility screen, only 5 OSAs show up on that screen. Shouldn't all the OSA cards/ports show up on the HMC OSA ADV FAC screen? Any suggestions?

I'm looking at it from a different aspect, that of removing one additional way of shooting oneself in the foot. If not you (you being collective, not just Bill), how many of your colleagues (either in the systems programming area or application developers/operations) have had a dataset deleted, only to have a new one allocated directly on top of the old one with a compatible set of DCB information, and have somebody inadvertently run a program that read the old data. I know it has happened more than once where I've worked over the years.

If a program can read beyond this first track (which is not difficult to do even in an unauthorized program), then the program can still read all the rest of the old data in the allocated tracks. The only way truly to prevent a program from reading any of the old data is to erase each allocated track, either when the old data set is deleted or when the new data set is allocated. Erasing is a very expensive process in terms of DASD utilization and elapsed time, which is why it is almost never done. This is perhaps another example of security through obscurity, which has been discussed lately under thread subjects starting with Program FLIH backdoor .

Re: 3390s on SAN?
There is an internal proposal to carve several TB of dasd from one of our non-mainframe depts. And use it to replace our aging HDS DASD. Question: How easy/difficult is this to accomplish? We re-configured an array from 3390 mod-3s to mod 27/50s but the entire array needed to be cleared of data. I'm assuming the same will be true in this case. I'm also assuming that the disks will need to be re-modeled (I am probably not using the correct terminology) to be mainframe compliant. Are my assumptions correct? I have a really basic question to ask back to you regarding this. What storage are you going to? That simple question makes a huge difference. Another question is what is your definition of an 'array'? To an IBM disk subsystem, an array (at least on the DS6800 it was) is a set of disks within the subsystem. In my vocabulary, an array IS the subsystem. I've had subsystems from EMC, HP/Hitachi, and IBM in my shop within the past several years. They've all been arrays. On the IBM DS array, I had arrays within the array. :-) Rex The information contained in this e-mail may contain confidential and/or privileged information and is intended for the sole use of the intended recipient.

Dave, You just went outside my knowledge base - I know nothing about the VSP. This should be an easy question for HDS to answer. Does the box already have FICON in it? Will you be taking the entire array or just a portion of it for the mainframe? I know that on older HP/HDS disk arrays each marketing raid group needed to be either MF or UNIX/Windows (I hate the term open systems), but the entire box didn't need to reconfigured to move storage from one emulation to the other.

Re: DFSORT manual humour
Richard, Actually the 9393 was the RAMAC virtual array (RVA) made by StorageTek. We just shut ours down about 5 years ago, used 4 GB drives in it. The other RAMAC devices were a 9391 and 9392 (among other numbers) These were called the RAMAC2 devices and were either disk drawers sitting behind a 3990 or were stand-alone devices with controller built into the cabinet. Had one at my last shop. They were nice devices, especially since I was coming from 3880/3380 technology. Even had a 9345 subsystem in that shop sitting next to the RAMAC2.

Re: JCL sheesh! for today
Charles, I had to go back to the fine manual to see what you are talking about. In the post I got from you, the message said ...contain a . PATH... (note the dot before the word PATH). The way I read the post, you couldn't use the . in a PATH parameter which kinda makes sense, as in how do you have a current directory in a JCL statement. Only when I went back to the book and saw where is was saying you can't use a PATH parameter at all did your post make sense to me. In that case, I agree completely with you.

Re: SMPE Help Needed
Larry, It appears as though somehow PTF UA60411 was removed from your PTS outside SMP/E's control. It could have been removed by a REJECT SELECT, but that would then show it wasn't in the GLOBAL zone. Would it work to try the RECEIVE again, but do a BYPASS(APPLYCHECK)? I don't know if this would work, being that your system is showing the PTF as RECEIVEd and APPLYd? If that doesn't work, you could try doing a REJECT of the PTF with a BYPASS(APPLYCHECK) to get it out of the GLOBAL zone, followed by a RECEIVE with BYPASS(APPLYCHECK) to get it back.

Re: DSN NOT RELEASING OVER ALLOCATED SPACE
Willie, Based on your JCL, this isn't your problem. What Bob is alluding to is multi-volume datasets. According to the JCL reference manual, when a dataset is opened for output on a multi-volume allocation basis, quote For a multi-volume sequential data set, only unused space on the current volume is released when the data set is closed; allocated space on any subsequent volume is not affected. This is also valid if the data set is GUARANTEED SPACE. /quote Since your JCL sample didn't have a VOL= parameter, it defaults to a single volume. I would be amazed if your problem isn't that the datasets are never opened. That said, the workaround would be to set a very small primary extent size and increase the size of the secondary extents, as others have already mentioned. Something else you might want to check on in this case, what is the block size of the output datasets that actually are populated? I noticed you don't have a BLKZISE parameter in the snippet you showed. Depending on whether this is an SMS managed dataset or if the MODELDCB has BLKSIZE in it or a few other variables, the datasets that are created may be unblocked.

Re: DSN NOT RELEASING OVER ALLOCATED SPACE
Willie, When job A executes, does it open/close all the datasets? My guess is that it isn't even using the datasets that are empty. The JCL manual states that the release happens upon CLOSE of the dataset. Thus if the dataset isn't opened/closed, no release will happen.

HTH, snip This is a weird question, but I've been directed to ask it. We are converting some VSAM datasets which currently use BMC's Data Accelerator compression to use SMS compression instead. This is a financial decision. We use CA-Faver to do our VSAM backups. Faver states in its manual that it will unload the VSAM data to its archive in uncompressed form. I guess this is because Faver knows it is SMS compressed. When the data was compressed via Data Accelerator, Faver was unaware that it was compressed, and so did not interface with Data Accelerator to uncompress the data. This meant that the data on the tape was in a very compressed form. Which is not true with SMS compression. The result of this difference is that our backups are taking much longer. Which was a surprise to all and is causing concern. So my question out there is any ideas on what I can do to make run faster? So far, the only suggestion from CA is to increase the BUFSIZE on the dump. But I don't think this is going to reduce the run time significantly. /snip -- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@bama.ua.edu with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html -- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@bama.ua.edu with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html The information contained in this e-mail may contain confidential and/or privileged information and is intended for the sole use of the intended recipient.

Re: Last card reader?
At a previous site, I think we pushed the card punches out the door in about 1986. By the time we got rid of them (both an 029 and an 026) the only thing they were used for was replication of boot cards.

Even without knowing the makeup of the data, it would probably be a fairly trivial exercise to pick out, say social security numbers, credit card numbers, etc just from the pattern of the data sitting in the blocks.

Re: manual tape library and external tape
We have a winner! I was able to successfully add the external tape to the manual tape library. This also added it to RMM. I was then able to change the status of the tape within RMM to a master tape and can now access the tape successfully. Thanks, Radoslaw, for your suggestion. I must be too close to the problem. I was trying to figure out how to force the system to use a non-SMS tape in an SMS library instead of just making the tape SMS managed. Thanks everybody else for your suggestions.

I saw the shameless plug and it didn't bother me a bit. I don't believe your post was inappropriate; as, as you said, the OP was looking for information and you responded to his request. As I said in my earlier post, your shameless plug pretty much sailed by me without my even taking a second look. I, along with the vast majority of people on the list (both posters and lurkers), had no problem with your post as it wasn't an unsolicited advertisement.

manual tape library and external tape
Hi list, I have a question on reading a non SMS-managed tape in a manual tape library defined as SMS managed. Our environment is we have a TS3400 manual tape library with 2 TS1120 drives in it. This library is SMS defined because normally all we do with it is push our backups to it. I have an external tape - maintenance from IBM - that I want to read via our MTL, which are the only tape drives we have on the system. Is there some way of fooling/forcing the system to read this tape? I think the problem is that it's a unlabeled tape. I tried several different items with the following results: //SYSUT1 DD DSN=ESOINST,LABEL=(2,NL),UNIT=TS1120,DISP=OLD, // VOL=SER=B04301,DCB=(LRECL=80,RECFM=FB,BLKSIZE=27920) real tape library in the UNIT parm, real vol-ser, IEF343I RRPGENER S01COPY SYSUT1 - REQUEST FAILED - NOT ENOUGH NON-SYSTEM MANAGED VOLUMES ELIGIBLE //SYSUT1 DD DSN=ESOINST,LABEL=(2,NL),UNIT=TS1120,DISP=OLD, // VOL=SER=11,DCB=(LRECL=80,RECFM=FB,BLKSIZE=27920) real tape library, fake to a vol-ser in my SMS vol-ser range IEF343I RRPGENER S01COPY SYSUT1 - REQUEST FAILED - NOT ENOUGH NON-SYSTEM MANAGED VOLUMES ELIGIBLE //SYSUT1 DD DSN=ESOINST,LABEL=(2,NL),UNIT=500,DISP=OLD, // VOL=SER=B04301,DCB=(LRECL=80,RECFM=FB,BLKSIZE=27920)try the actual address of tape drive instead of the library IEF120I RRPGENER S01COPY SYSUT1 ALLOCATION FAILED - A NON-LIBRARY REQUEST SPECIFIED A LIBRARY DEVICE 0500 I tried shutting down OAM and it made no difference.

Re: PF9 Swap question
Lindy, What Don told you is exactly how it works. Way back when all you had was 2 screens to swap between, you had the primary and secondary screen (I think that is the correct terminology). Hitting PF9 bounced between primary and secondary. The screen you are currently looking at is obviously the primary screen. Along came IBM now giving us the capability of having up to 32 screens (by default limited to 8). IBM didn't ditch the concept of primary and secondary. Pressing PF9 with its default of SWAP still swaps between primary and secondary screens. One way to which are your primary and secondary screens is to do a SWAP LIST command. The drop down this gives you shows which are the screens SWAP will swap between. The primary screen is shown with an asterisk beside the screen ID, and the secondary is shown with a hyphen beside the screen ID. Others have given you ideas about how they have their PFKeys set up so I'll give mine. I just leave PF9 alone at SWAP. I have PF19 set to SWAP PREV, PF20 set to SWAP NEXT, and PF21 set to SWAP LIST.

Re: Z196 BC ?
We're hoping for one too, but why Q4? If IBM were to run true to form, they should be announcing it any day now. Here's why I say this: Z9-EC announced July 2005, shipped Sept. Z9-BC available April 06, 9 months after EC announcement. Z10-EC available Feb 2008, BC available Oct 08, 8 months later. Z196 available July 2010, BC available Feb/march 11 (8-9 months later). Obviously that didn't happen. Now the Z10 and Z196 boxes, I don't know if the dates mentioned were announcement or availability dates, but either way, it appears to me that IBM is dragging their feet on the z196-BC.

Endian- ness, in the context used in these posts, refers to BYTE order not BIT order. The bit-order *within each byte* is still most significant on the left in both big- and little- endian systems. Another wrinkle: In the x86 world (little-endian) Intel names the bits within a byte, from the left, 7,6,5,4,3,2,1,0 whereas in the z.. world (big-endian) IBM names them 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7. Regardless of the naming scheme used, the rightmost bit in each byte is the least-significant. :-) An x86 code fragment might help to illustrate: .code mov eax,258 ;let's start with 258 KG mov weight,eax .. .. ret .data weight dd 0 ;weight in kilograms After that 2nd mov instruction, while the 32-bit eax register looks like: bits 32,31,..,24 |bits 23,22,..,16 ||bits 15,14,..,8 |||bits 7,6,5,..,0 |||| eax: 0001 0020 ..the four bytes at label weight will look like: weight 0010 0001 |||| |||bits 32,31,..,24 ||bits 23,22,..,16 |bits 15,14,..,8 bits 7,6,5,..,0 So, bit numbering aside, it still looks like a big-endian world once you're inside the processor.

Re: Check TAPE Contents
Sergio, EDGINERS is actually a utility that is part of RMM.

Re: Check TAPE Contents
I know, but I decided that in the context of the original post I wouldn't obfuscate the issue. Being the poster asked something along the line of which TMS do you have?

Re: One Pack RACF Anomaly
Daniel, Forest, meet trees. :-) If there's anybody on this list who won't admit to having done something similar, they either haven't been doing system work, or they're lying! I don't want to read a bunch of horror stories about others who have oopsed, just wanted to say glad you got it figured out, and that it was something simple.

Check the DES encryption scheme you have set up. Do you have the ICHDEX01 installed?

When we IPL'd and established a TSO link, then tried to logon, we kept being blocked by RACF. We reloaded the RACF database and tried it again, only to be blocked again. It's not recognizing any passwords we enter. We are stumped.

Re: TRX Replacement
Dyna-step from Tone Software? www.tonesoft.com. I haven't used the product, but in a former life I worked with some of their other software and had no problems with them. Rex -Original Message- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:IBM-MAIN@bama.ua.edu] On Behalf Of Dennis Schaffer Sent: Monday, February 28, 2011 11:57 AM To: IBM-MAIN@bama.ua.edu Subject: TRX Replacement Hi, We're running TRX from OES Inc., and we're looking for alternatives. TRX provides allocation and i/o services for the TSO/ISPF environment. TRX allows us to avoid maintaining logon procs with hard-coded dataset names or clists/execs to dynamically allocate TSO/ISPF datasets, by providing a dialogue/database to describe individual user/application dataset requirements. TRX also provides performance benefits by dynamically caching frequently-used member and streamlined i/o processing for ISPF datasets. Is anyone aware of a potential replacement for TRX? I'm aware of ALTLIB/LIBDEF but (1 it's not compatible with our existing infrastructure, (2 it's going to require coding exec's for each of our vendor and internal products and (3 it won't provide the performance benefits of TRX.
