John:
got it.
I appreciate your taking some time for this.
This is another great example of why Open Source works!
Thanks indeed.

Subject: Netcat for z/OS UNIX (was: RE: gcc binary for
OS/390 USS)
Well, the CPU at work actually went below 100% today. I tried compiling
it and it failed. No big shocker there! I had to add 5 source
statements, which basically "nop'ed" the IP_OPTIONS flag and excluded
two #include files which do not exist on z/OS. I used an "#ifdef
__HOS_MVS__". It then compiled and ran cleanly on my z/OS 1.4 system. I
then ftp'ed the executable to my test z/OS 1.4 system. I ran a short,
simple, test
PROD>nc -w 3 test.ip.address portnum <test.file
And on the TEST system:
TEST>nc -l -p portnum >test.file
Of course, replace "test.ip.address" with the correct IP address and
"portnum" with the port you are using.
test.file was a simple text file. It went across with no problem. I did
not even try to test all the included scripts! I don't know what will
happen between an EBCDIC and ASCII host, but I'd bet that the file would
remain in EBCDIC on the receiving end.
I compiled this program using both the z/OS 1.4 C compiler and the
OS/390 2.10 compiler (which comes with z/OS 1.4 - I don't have an OS/390
2.10 system any more).
I have attached the nc110s.pax.zip file to this email. I don't know if
the list will allow this or strip it off. Somebody will need to tell me
because I don't receive my own posts anymore.
There are three files:
nc110/netcat.c - my modified source
nc110/nc_zOS_1.4 - compiled with the z/OS 1.4 compiler
nc110/nc_os_390_2.10 - compiled with the OS/390 2.10 compiler.
Have fun - if the pax file is attached. ftp it into your z/OS UNIX
"home" directory and extract the files with:
pax -rf nc110.pax
It will create the nc110 subdirectory. Run the program from there or put
it somewhere on your PATH.
