Interesting. I believe ya (not gonna argue with someone about their native 
language!) but the usage seems to be Polish, per:
https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/vel#Polish

For anyone wondering: AKA is a TLA for Also Known As, i.e., vel :-)

Re: Netview - just obsolete

2024-04-24 Thread Brian Westerman
I don't think they sold it to anyone, I believe it's just been rendered 
obsolete.  A lot of people who used it were using it for mostly the automation 
capability part(s) so it conflicted with the "other" (much more expensive) 
automation product they sell.  

When they first announced it, we (Syzygy Inc.) ended up getting traffic from a 
lot of their users because the replacement products were extremely expensive 
and our automation package was (and still is) less than 1/10th the price and 
even cheaper than Netview at less 1/5th the price they were already paying.  

So the sites found that our software did everything that IBM's (and CA's and 
BMC's) automation did at a small fraction of the price and we were so flooded 
by new clients that we had to temporarily stop marketing.  That was over a year 
ago, and since then we have streamlined the licensing process and that allowed 
us to reduce the cost even more.  Plus, volume made a big difference.  You can 
afford to reduce prices quite a bit when you have several hundred users instead 
of just 150.  Whereas I think most vendors just keep raising (or at least not 
lowering) their prices because they get greedy.

Unfortunately, we found back then that it was a lot harder to support 500 more 
sites and we just plain were not prepared for it. :)

You have a coding error. Does R0 point to the ENVBLOCk? IRXSAY works in Netview 
otherwise the REXX SAY command would not work.

There's too much going on for us to be of any help. Start with IRXEXCOM that 
creates a REXX variable with a known value and a REXX that calls this program 
and displays it. 

The ENVBLOCK should be correct and this is the simplest method to verify you 
have R0 and 2 parmlist fields pointing to it. 

Once you have this working, then you can proceed to other functions.

> r0 points to an ENVBLOCK 

Make sure you pass it correctly to IRXEXCOM (R0 and 2 parmlist fields). In 
theory, these can be 0, but why make REXX search for it when you have it in R0.

REXX was first ported to TSO and those modules were coded generically. It could 
also be that a TSO environment is built into Netview. I know it's built into 
another automation product.

>I verified this by running the program under TSO.

TSO REXX is more forgiving than other environments. 

>I did look at the sample Netview program CNMS8002, but that didn't help.

I don't have access to z/OS so I can't comment on this program and the 
requirements to setup a valid REXX environment for Netview. Later, it might be 
useful to compare with your program but for now, it's not helpful.

Netview, REXX and assembler interfaces for variable access

2024-01-05 Thread Willy Jensen
Hi,
I am trying to make a REXX function writen in assembler run in Netview REXX. 
The function in question reads. lists and writes variables, it uses IRXEXCOM 
for variable access, IRXSTK for stack access and IRXSAY for terminal output.
When running in Netview it doesn't abend, but it doesn't do anything either, 
except that the return value is valid. It returns 0, which indicates success.
I have written another test program, which shows that on entry 
 r0 points to an ENVBLOCK 
 field ENVBLOCK_IRXEXTE points to a valid IRXEXTE, but the fields IRXEXCOM, 
IRXSTK and IRXSAY in there points to the TSO modules. 
I verified this by running the program under TSO.
I have read the manuals, but haven't found a clue. My old friend Google was no 
help either.
I did look at the sample Netview program CNMS8002, but that didn't help.
Anybody got a hint? A link to or the name of a manual would be nice, a working 
sample even better.

Re: Rexx function STORAGE with weird behavior on Netview

2022-12-20 Thread David Price
Try putting a line like
numeric digits 20
somewhere before your first use of the storage function.

Some of the storage function calculations need more than the default 9 digits' 
precision, depending on address values and memory contents.

I've had inconsistent results when I've forgotten to set numeric digits to a 
decent value.  That's why Mark Zelden has the comment /* dflt of 9 not enough 
*/ in his IPLINFO exec.

Star Trek trope:

"Access denied."

"Override!"

"Access granted."

... makes sense if "Override"  is the root password.

The very brief section in the TSO/E Rexx User's Guide, "Using the STORAGE

would  benefit from a *tested* example of using STORAGE() to follow a chain of

P = STORAGE( addr, 4 )

Hello all,

The glitch was the NETVIEW REXXSTRF value thas was set to the default
DISABLE. While we wait for an IPL, the OVERRIDE solves the issue.

And as Kulosu noted, it is Mark Zelden's IPLINFO rexx that we are using,
not an IBM supplied one.

Thank you all for your time and valuable assistance.

This is exactly what I was going to point to:
REXXSTRF: ENABLE

https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/z-netview/6.4.0?topic=statements-defaults
https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/z-netview/6.4.0?topic=descriptions-defaults-nccf


REXXSTRF
Specifies whether the NetView operator can run REXX command lists that use
the REXX STORAGE function.
ENABLE
Indicates that the NetView operator can run REXX command lists that use the
REXX STORAGE function.
DISABLE
Indicates that the NetView operator cannot run REXX command lists that use
the REXX STORAGE function. DISABLE is the default.

Note: The DEFAULTS REXXSTRF command is effective the next time a REXX
environment is initialized, which is determined by the current REXXENV
value and the number of active REXX command lists. Thus, it is never
effective in the same command list invocation from which it is issued.

That's why you will come across truckloads of

ptr: return c2d(storage(d2x(arg(1)), arg(2)))

swareq: procedure
  if right(c2x(arg(1)), 1) \= 'F' then  /* SWA=BELOW ?*/
return c2d(arg(1)) + 16 /* Yes, return SVA + 16   */

  sva  = c2d(arg(1))/* Convert to decimal */
  tcb  = ptr(540, 4)/* TCB PSATOLD*/
  jscb = ptr(tcb + 180, 4)  /* JSCB TCBJSCB   */
  qmpl = ptr(jscb + 244, 4) /* QMPL JSCBQMPI  */
  qmat = ptr(qmpl + 24, 4)  /* QMAT QMADD */
  do while sva > 65536
qmat = ptr(qmat + 12, 4)/* Next QMAT QMAT + 12*/
sva  = sva - 65536  /* 010006F -> 06F */
  end

return ptr(qmat + sva + 1) + 16

In many REXX routines...

I'm thinking the return from storage is raw data, so to use it as a pointer
represented in hex for storage() you need c2x().

*memory is old, and there are more hex and bin functions available now than
there were back in the '90s.

Re; Rexx function STORAGE with weird behavior on Netview

A local Rexx function doesn't override a BIF unless it's in the same Rexx
program. At least, not that I've ever seen.

 

This seems like it should be easy to diagnose: just write a tiny program
that just does that storage() call and trace it.

That's the expected behavior. STORAGE is documented that the first arg is a

to a string in this case but treated as hexadecimal.

Hi,

My colleagues come to me with a weird situation for which I cannot find an 
explanation.

You are probably familiar with the IPLINFO REXX. It works just fine but there 
is one system on which, when invoked by NETVIEW, the

CVT  = C2d(Storage(10,4))/* point to CVT */

instruction fails by not returning a value:

IRX0044I Error running ASVTASID, line 42: Function did not return data

As I said before, it works fine on every system and when running under NETVIEW, 
except on this one system.

Any ideas where to look for the reason for this behavior?
Thank you all for your help,

In REXX, a decimal number *IS* a string. The semantics for the first parameter 
of STORAGE is the same on every REXX implementation that I have used.

For hexadecimal arithmetic, try something like FOO = D2X ( X2D(BAR) + X2D(BAZ) )

Re: Rexx function STORAGE with weird behavior on Netview

2022-12-19 Thread Seymour J Metz
Classic REXX, including ANSI Rexx, has only one data type - string. The result 
of a numeric computation is a string. The STORAGE function expects the first 
operand to be composed of 0-9 and A-F, and converts it from hexadecimal to 
binary. It were ever thus.

Yes, languages with strict typing are safer, but sometimes clumsier. REXX has a 
lot of expressive power when used for scripting.

Maybe check the library concatenation sequences for another module ...

There might have been another storage function from an earlier release that had

numeric.

What gets returned when you do just a Say Storage(10,4) ?

No, 10, '10' and "10" all represent the same string. Since ADDRESS interprets 
the address operand as a hexadecimal representation of the address, that is the 
CVT pointer. My guess is that the code uses a computed address and does not 
feed it into D2X.

 FOO = STORAGE(CVT+BAR,8)  /* Incorrect */
 FOO = STORAGE(D2X(CVT+BAR),8) /* Correct   */

The first argument to STORAGE is a string. 16 would be wrong.

While it's possible that this won't fix it, the correct syntax would be:
CVT  = C2d(Storage('10',4))/* point to CVT */

>From the TSO/E REXX Reference:
STORAGE returns length bytes of data from the specified address in storage. The

string containing the hexadecimal representation of the storage address from

10, '10' and "10" are all the same value. In REXX a numeric value is a special

Is there a possibility of a STORAGE() function in a library on the failing

Maybe check the library concatenation sequences for another module ... 
including linklst

There might have been another storage function from an earlier release that had

What gets returned when you do just a Say Storage(10,4) ?

Thank you all for your comments
May be I was not clear before. This is (I think) an IBM supplied REXX. I am
not sure on its origin, but it works fine as is, except on one system AND
when executed by a NETVIEW address space. If executed as a TSO command it
works just fine.
It even works under NETVIEW on other systems.
It works if used by a TSO userid with no privileges.
So, it is not a matter of APF authority, and there are no RACF messages.
I am at a loss as where to look

The Rexx Reference manual has this in the description of the STORAGE function.

"STORAGE returns length bytes of data from the specified address in storage. 
The address is a character
string containing the hexadecimal representation of the storage address from 
which data is retrieved."

So I think that specifying 10 to represent address X'10' is actually correct in 
this instance.
It is in my copy of IPLINFO, which works.

Hi Jack, I would recommend that you put a Call Trace("I") statement 
before this CVT variable set statement, and also add a Say 
C2X(Storage(10,4)) statement before it, so you can see what is there. 
This piece of code would look like:


Call Trace("I")
Say C2X(Storage(10,4))
CVT= C2D(Storage(10,4))
Call Trace("O")   /* though you won't get here if it fails...*/

Hi,

My colleagues come to me with a weird situation for which I cannot find an
explanation.

You are probably familiar with the IPLINFO REXX. It works just fine but
there is one system on which, when invoked by NETVIEW, the

CVT  = C2d(Storage(10,4))/* point to CVT */

instruction fails by not returning a value:

IRX0044I Error running ASVTASID, line 42: Function did not return data

As I said before, it works fine on every system and when running under
NETVIEW, except on this one system.

Any ideas where to look for the reason for this behavior?

Re: NetView question

2022-01-13 Thread John Blythe Reid
Hi Mark,

Thanks a lot that's good to know. In this case I've just discovered it in the 
Defining Automation Policy manual. It generates this command by default. I need 
to add a parameter to the command and this can be done using the Application 
Information screen specifying the string of characters to be added. So the 
command itself doesn't need to be defined, just the parameters.

The example in the manual is that if you want the command to be this:

S VTAM,,,(LIST=00)

Then you need to define this in the Application Information Startup Parameters 
field:

,,,(LIST=00)

Regards,
John.

I don't have a direct answer to your question, but here's some degree of 
reassurance. z/OS 2.3 became generally available on September 29, 2017. 
Tivoli NetView 5.4 for z/OS reached its End of Support date on October 31, 
2017. Thus it appears this particular release combination was briefly 
fully IBM supported.

Obviously you ought to upgrade to the latest release of NetView as soon as 
reasonably practical. If the only reason you're holding off is due to 
Single Version Charge (SVC) limitation concerns, don't hold off. In 2017 
IBM abolished the SVC time limits for everyone per IBM Announcement Letter 
217-093.

You would want to use either CNMSTUSR or CxySTGEN to make any style sheet
updates, including AuxInitCmd.
CNMSTYLE is "owned" by IBM, with the other two members being for local

The main Netview "parm" member is CNMSTYLE (Netview Style sheet) and it 
is located in a dataset in the DSIARPM concatenation. The standard user 
configurable member is CNMSTUSR. In this member you could code AuxInitCmd 
commands that Netview will execute at initialization time:

Comments from CNMSTYLE

*  auxInitCmd Statements   *
*  Commands specified here will run after the style sheet is   *
*  interpreted and before any command at any autotask. *
*  Commands will be run in alphabetical order by tail value.   *
*  Only the first 21 characters of the tail are considered.*
*  (e.g. auxInitCmd.COOL runs before auxInitCmd.ZEBRA).*
*  Alphabetic characters are translated to upper case before sorting.  *


    These commands could be Netview commands or netview Clist/rexxs that 
you create.

Another possibility is to create your own Automated operator defined 
with its own profile. In that profile, you could code an Initial Command (IC= 
on the PROFILE statement).  Of course, you might want to automatically start 
your automated operator, perhaps in an AuxInitCmd.

Re: Netview Automation Table Code

If the MPFLST is setup correctly, you should see a CNM493I message in 
you Netview logs. This message indicates a match in Netview Message automation 
Table .

Depending upon whether the dataset you want to trap on the FROM dataset 
or the TO dataset will dictate which line you want to trap. The FROM dataset is 
in the second line and the TO dataset is in the third line.

For specific help on the Trap syntax, I would consider using the

Re: Netview Automation Table Code

2018-06-13 Thread saurabh khandelwal
Hello Tony,



Thanks for reply. I have  don’t have programming knowledge to code member
in SDGASAMP for

DGA.SDGASAMP(DGADTFY2).



Also, my netview knowledge is limited to code trap command as you mentioned
previously.



SVTM052I STEP1COPY FKFD022( 704) SNODE=SEB.SND.TCS 280

SVTM052I  FROM ECP.A601P2.ATI7.NBK.PS
<http://e2cp.azd601p2.ati7.nbk.ps/>.G3104V00

SVTM052I  TO   FBT.DATA.VLUS.SAT17.G1678V00*

 SVTM052I  COMPLETED  /SCPA000I

Can you please help me to code this multiline WTO..



I checked MVS initialization guide and found that by default,



If you do not specify an MPFLSTxx member, the defaults are AUTO(YES). So,
we don’t have to code this . Please correct me, if wrong.

Re: Netview Automation Table Code

2018-06-12 Thread Cieri, Anthony

Hello Saurabh,

I can hopefully offer a few points of clarification.  I think that the 
IGD104I messages are generally only written to the joblog. Connect:Direct uses 
dynamic allocation for all processes. 
The SVTM052I message IS written to syslog and can be automated if you 
have coded AUTO(YES) in you MPFLSTxx PARMLIB member.  Also, the most 
significant point was offered by @Vince. The SVTM052I message ID is Multi-line 
Write-to-Operator (MLWTO) message. It is generally issued as a (4) line WTO, 
but each line has the SVTM052I message ID. Your message trap as provided in a 
previous post will not work because the 'TO' text does NOT occur in the first 
line of the MLWTO. We do something similar here and I have pasted my trap for 
reference:

IF (LABEL:SVTM052A) MSGID = 'SVTM052I' & JOBNAME = JOB 
  & (ACQUIRE('LASTLINE WORD 4.1') = .'SDEDSNRI'. |
ACQUIRE('LASTLINE WORD 4.1') = .'SDEPDSRI'.) 
THEN EXEC( CMD('MVS %CON ') ROUTE(ONE AUTONDM)); 

This MAT entry is used to trap the sense code is the last (4th) line of 
the MLWTO.  You could do something similar to trap the 'TO'  text and Dataset 
name in the third line of the MLWTO.

Also, in case you were not aware, there are a few utility programs that 
are distributed along with Connect:Direct for z/OS.  One in particular, 
DGADTFY2 (DMNOTFY2) can be used within a Conenct:Direct process to send a 
message to a TSO user when the process ends.  You can pass the TO dataset name 
as a parameter to DGADTFY2. You can also use modal logic in the process to send 
the message for a successful or unsuccessful COPY step (or BOTH if you choose). 
Here is a simple example:

STEP02 IF (COPY01 = 0) THEN
NOTE21 RUN TASK (PGM=DGADTFY2,PARM=(GOOD,'',)) -   
SNODE   
 ELSE
NOTE22 RUN TASK (PGM=DGADTFY2,PARM=(FAIL,'',)) -   
  SNODE 

The first step (NOTE21) will send a message to the user specified by 
 indicating that the file transfer was successful if the COPY01 Step 
ended with a return code of 0.. The message will also contain the dataset name. 
The second step (NOTE22) will send a message to the same user indicating that 
the file transfer fails, if the COPY01 step ends with a return code other than 
0. Of course, this example assumes that you have coded a Connect:Direct COPY 
step named COPY01. 

I hope this helps some.

Tony

Hello Steve,

I couldn't understand your point. Can you please help to understand this.

I am getting below message in SYSLOG generated using DCON  and I could see 
these messages are in  JESYSMSG, JESMSGLG and  also in SYSLOG
