BFSLIST uses PIPE and OPENVM commands... And I do think the bug is in BFSLIST:
- $BFSLIST XEDIT is the main candidate, look for
address '' 'PIPE (NAME GETDIR END ? ESC ")
About fixing it: on 30 June the contract with my customer ends. So 20
years of my life come to an end: I started there when they where
creating a Client/Server VM ( CSP, PLI, APPC, DB2) application with
OS/2 and VM in the middle. It is now moved to z/OS.
So, at that time I will no longer have z/VM systems to play with. On
the IBM systems I do only have an ordinary class G user...
My future is still uncertain and if nobody asks for VM services, I'm
sure IBM Belgium will make me do other work; bye bye 30 years VM
carreer then :-( As Belgium is small, I consider taking projects
elsewhere too.
I doubt I'll find time next week: the cleanup process is taking my
time (no we will not simply scratch all the VM stuff, I'll save it
-shrinked and upleveled to 5.3). A copy for the customer and one for
me.
