Your career is very important to you. It's important to us also. That's why we've asked our careers expert Rick Nashleanas to spend some time with you this Wednesday, May 8, in our Sound Off discussion forum
Rick will be live in the Sound Off forum from 3:30-4:30 EDT to answer your career-related questions, offer advice, and give his thoughts on the much talked about shortage of skilled mainframe professionals.
Rick is also available to answer your questions via Ask the Experts
Furthermore, if you'd like to know what your peers are saying about a mainframe skills shortage and their own futures as mainframe professionals, I encourage you to read this article "Mainframe pros sound off about skills shortage: Part One."

This Week: In the forums

TSG001 recently posted this question in our Operating Systems forum and is looking for help: Currently looking at installing JCA connectors on the Z/OS machine to use with WebSphere and CICS using CICSEXCI. We have to define a surrogate profile for a group of user id's. The spec says to issue a RACF "RDEFINE SURROGAT ..." and a "PERMIT SURROGAT..." command for this.
The question is where and how do we issue these commands for RACF on the z/OS machine?
Any input would be appreciated.
Please share your knowledge with TSG001

| Tip of the Week: |
| Whaddayah do when floating-point numbers are two big at four bytes (let alone eight bytes) and dates gotta fit in a halfword? Oh yeah, and calculation speed is of the utmost. Why, of course, you do as Jim Keohane did for the lowly Apple II and pick up some "weapons grade" Julian date algorithm from Los Alamos National Laboratory. |
