Re: TCPIP Default keep alive question

Hello everyone, Sorry for the delayed response. First, thank you all very much for your responses! I'll try to reply to your comments here: 1) Gaur: I'm looking for an assembler interface to access this value. My application runs in a started task and does not have access to TSO. I used the

TCPIP Default keep alive question

Is there a programming interface to extract the DefaultKeepALive value that is stored the TCP Configuration Table? This is the same value that the TSO NETSTAT CONFIG command displays. Thanks, Vic -- For IBM-MAIN subscribe /

Need help with RACF SETROPTS PASSWORD option

Hello, I have an authorized program that needs to know whether the RACF SETROPTS PASSWORD is set to MIXEDCASE or NOMIXEDCASE. I've checked the 'RACROUTE Macro Reference' but could not find anything there that would help. The only manual I found that offered this service is the R_admin

Re: Questions on ATTACHX's ETXR exit routine

Binyamin, Chris, I did some testing and more reading and discovered the following... a) The Extended Addressability Guide says that each workunit (TCB or SRB) has its own stack. From that I it appears that the IRB is sharing the stack with the orginating task. So, I won't be using the stack to

Questions on ATTACHX's ETXR exit routine

Hello everyone, I have a couple questions regarding ETXR that I'm hoping the group can help me with... 1) Does the ETXR exit routine share the Linkage Stack with the originating task? 2) Is the savearea pointed by R13 upon entry to the ETXR routine, 72 bytes long? (i.e. long enough to hold

Re: Is TCBECB supposed to be zero at end of task?

Thank you all for your replies. Peter thanks for confirming my original TCBECB question. I decided to solve the problem by creating an ETXR stub routine that is less than 128 bytes long. The stub is copied to the end of each subtask's context area. Each instance of a subtask get passed this

Is TCBECB supposed to be zero at end of task?

I have a main program that attaches a subtask. The main program specifies both ECB= and EXTR= on the ATTACHX macro. The ECB pointed by ECB=, resides ***within*** a subtask context area allocated by the main program. When the subtask terminates, the ETXR routine receives control with the

IFAUSAGE questions

I'm using IFAUSAGE to record type 89 usage data for an ISPF dialog (IFAUSAGE REQUEST=REGISTER,DOMAIN=TASK,SCOPE=ALL...). The SMF manual says that the program does NOT need be in supervisor state in order to use the REQUEST=REGISTER function but, MUST be in supervisor state in order to issue

Re: Help with TCB status

Probably better to just use the TCB pointer chains while holding the local lock. You've piqued my interest ... Which TCB chain? Where's its anchor and next chain pointer? Does this chain contain only dispatchable TCB? Currently I run the TCB chain starting from job step TCB and moving

Re: Help with TCB status

If there isn't a cpu available, or if the task isn't at the head of the next-to-be-dispatched web queue, then its not going to run. Being non-dispatchable is a deal breaker, but being dispatchable only means that you're eligible to run some time. What points to the next-to-be-dispatched web

Re: Help with TCB status

Thanks for your replies. The SRB is sampling the address space so it tolerates statically error and uncertainty. What I'd like to try and nail down is whether the TCB is dispatchable but no CPU is available *or* is actually executing. Any ideas? I was wondering, could the SRB examine the

Help with TCB status

Hello everyone, I have an SRB that is scheduled to run in a target address space. The SRB attempts to determine the status (wait, active and ready) of all TCBs from job step down. The SRB holds the local lock before attempting to check the status. I'm trying to figure out a couple of things:

Question on LLA managed module and its DSN

Hi everyone, I'm trying to determine the load library DSN used to load a module that is managed by LLA. I found the module's CDE entry and from there the associated CDX1. The CDX1 normally would provide the DDName for the load library which, eventually gets me to the DSN. In the LLA case the

Thank you both for your replies. No, I'm not using EXTR nor was the STEP specified on the ABEND. I understand the problem. After the subtask percolates, the system post the main task's ECB with the subtask's completion code. The abend will not interrupt the main task. The main task can check the

Hi, I have a main task and subtask running. The main task has an ESTAE established and the subtask has an ESTAI established. The subtask runs asynchronously with the main task. The main task is waiting on an ECB to be posted by an external event. During this wait the subtask abends, the abend is
