Okay, make that "any C/C++" socket program. Charles

I don' t understand this; IMHO no correlation between IBM C/C++ and USS - I wrote lots of C programs (and some C++) in the 1995 to 2019 timeframe for two different large customers using z/OS, that were targetted to the classical z/OS environment without USS, doing classical z/OS work with DB2 and datasets, interfacing with PL/1 and ASSEMBLER programs, which did the same (the PL/1 programs interfacing to CICS at one place and to IMS/DC at the other place). At one of the two sites, we experimented with USS, because it was a requirement for rDz, but we had to cancel it for some reasons (too long a story to be told here). To enable all users to use USS segments for rDz was a performance nightmare; the homegrown software development and deployment tools we had (and which we kept) were much better in this respect (also located in the classical z/OS environment, based on DB2, written in PL/1 and REXX, using ISPF services). > Charles Kind regards Bernd ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
