We are programming in VisualAge for CSP with the IBM VisualAge Generator Developer for OS/2 v2.2. And we have the VisualAge Generator server 1.2.0 in the mainframe. If we migrate to z/OS, what happen with the programs written in VisualAge for CSP? I don't find this product in the z/OS operating system." >> For Jim's response, click: http://www.search390.com/ateQuestionNResponse/0,289625,sid10_cid597541_tax292523,00.html?track=NL-170&ad=486901 =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= A QUICK WAY TO DETERMINE THE CREATION DATE OF A TAPE | Ask the Expert A Search390.com user asked Mark Zelden, our OS/390 and z/OS systems programming expert: "I'm looking for a command that will retrieve the creation date of a tape. I have been told that listtsi will work for a dataset on disk and was wondering if there was an equivalent for tape. My background is mostly in application programming in this environment and not in systems programming so I am not real familiar with the use of clists and ispflibs and was wondering also if you could give me an example of how a command like listtsi would be used." >> For Mark's response, click: http://search390.techtarget.com/ateQuestionNResponse/0,289625,sid10_cid597545_tax287555,00.html?track=NL-170&ad=486901 ____________________________________________________________________ =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= :::::::::: DON'T MISS THESE IMPORTANT MESSAGES AND LINKS ::::::::: =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= DOWNLOAD | Free download from "Linux on the Mainframe" "Linux on the Mainframe" is one of the definitive books on the topic.

In a case of truth being much stranger than fiction, an author in China has written a book to be read via text message -- perfect for the leisure reader on the go. The 60 chapters of "Outside the Fortress Besieged" will come to a reader's cell phone in 70-word increments and is expected to do well in China, where people get much of their information via text message. It's kind of a romance novel, and will be a test to see if romance can succeed without Fabio on the cover.
