TSO EXECUTABLE LIBRARY SETUP | Ask the Expert

A Search390.com user asked Mark Zelden, our OS/390 programming
expert:

"I have an ISPF application that uses COBOL CALL statement. Since
CALL statement does not search in ISPLLIB path, I am getting an error
"Module not found." I cannot set STEPLIB in my logon procedure. What
I do right now is go to READY prompt, use TSOLIB command and then
comeback to ISPF and start my application. Is there anyway that I can
set my TSO executable library to point to my personal dataset and
invoke the ISPF application without going to the READY prompt
always?"

BE WARY OF CLASS B AND D PRIVILEGES | Ask the Expert

A Search390.com user asked David Boyes, our Linux on the mainframe

granted me the privilege of accessing his reader files. What is the
command to issue from USERME to access reader files of USER2?"

THE MISSING LINK | Kerry e-mail survives spam filters, reaches masses

John Kerry broke new ground in presidential politics by using a mass
e-mail to get the word out that he had picked John Edwards as his
running mate. But this triumph of technology was trumped by another
technology: 12 hours earlier, USAviation.com posted a report that
Edwards decals were being affixed to Kerry's campaign plane, a report
that turned out to be more reliable than the New York Post's
declaration that Kerry planned to tap Dick Gephardt. The Internet
certainly has changed politickin' -- and political reporting -- as we
know it. (Reuters)
