After working now two days with it, what strikes me most is the absence
of a SAVE command.
Every line you change (or delete !) is changed on the file even without
SAVE, same goes for deletions,
and there is no recovery (no other than saving the member before you
begin or restoring an older
version for the CA master lib).
And some of the prefix commands are different from ISPF: Prefix command
A means insert of a blank line
and prefix I does insertions of lines which are in a buffer (like CUT
... PASTE). CC ... CC inserts lines into
this buffer, but the buffer is not emptied prior to CC ... CC. If you
want the buffer to be emptied,
you have to use CCD (or CD, for a single line).
I've worked with MVS for the last 25 years, so I will have a hard time
in the next weeks :-)
But I've done VSE before, and today I recalled how to do F F5 (or PFLUSH
F5) to free a locked partition
in VSE ... I've used this before in the late 1990s :-)
F F5 can be done from with VOLLIE using the OPE command :-)
VOLLIE even shows the status of the partitions and the operator console.
Kind regards

That's a blast from the past.
It does run as a CICS transaction (Normally OLLE).
It is 1000% better than the IBM VSE offering (name escapes me).
In architecture it's not unlike ROSCOE, runs very lean and mean. All
the members are contained within a single VSAM cluster which is
formatted and then has 3 char lib prefixes and 8 char names similar to
a PDS. eg JCL.MASTJOB1.
It also has a crude form of security, defined in a macro assembler
module. This determines what you can see and do. A very naughty
programmer substituted his own version and when we found out, I
substituted yet another module that blasted ***violation*** on the
console. The guy in question (Kevin Parker where are you now?) crapped
his pants when he realised he'd been rumbled. Had an entertaining
dressing down meeting with him.
>From memory, I belive you use the "l" command (list) to bring up a
member in an editor panel.
It has a submit command (I think sub?) and has access to the Power
spool to fetch output.
It's been 30 years since I last saw Vollie :)

Subject: Manuals for CA-VOLLIE?
In my new project assignment, I have to use a tool called VOLLIE (from
CA), which is used to modify (edit)
VSE libraries and prepare compile and test jobs for VSE and COBOL-CICS
programs etc.
No VM in this installation. VOLLIE seems to be a CICS transaction.
Is there a manual for CA-VOLLIE, which can be shared, for example PDF
format?
No match when using the well-known search engines.
Thanks and regards
Bernd
