Fixed-Point and Scientific Notation
Has IBM established a standard in any of the various high-level languages for the representation of the various floating-point formats and precisions? . Formats: o Binary o Decimal o Hexadecimal . Precisions: o Single (4-byte) o Double (8-byte) o Quadruple (16-byte) I am specifically looking at both fixed-point and scientific notation. John P.

Naturally, IBMlink's "maintenance window" completely encloses our data center's much shorter bi-weekly weekend maintenance window, and any alternative window they might consider is going to conflict with some installation's maintenance window. We see 24 x 7 for IBMLink as a definite requirement. Our maintenance window would be one point where a software glitch that only surfaced under production load would most likely be a sev 1 issue.

Re: Emulators (again ...)
x3270 (and c3270) are open source run great under either Linux or Windows (XP, Vista) under cygwin. The later versions support ssl, and I use them extensively on both platforms. There is a free and very simple to setup EXE for wc3270 (Windows c3270) here: http://x3270.bgp.nu/download.html For Ubuntu, you simply install the x3270 package.

Re: Need the link to Catalog Administration
--- Yes, I mean reconnect user catalogs back to a master catalog. -- IMPORT CONNECT, then list the UCAT and start re-defining aliases as needed. IMPORT CONNECT is described in your Access Method Services manual. Once upon a time, I had a REXX that would convert a LISTCAT NAME listing to a set of DEFINE ALIAS commands, but it's long lost now. The same can be accomplished using ISPF EDIT on the listing but it's slightly more tedious that way. -- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
Re: MULC availability
Hi Shane, Gee Shane, I almost fell asleep just looking at the web site you quoted below, although I can see that it might be more interesting than trying to figure out all of the permutations of pricing for IBM software! On another note, I know Al, as he lives in Milwaukee. I've heard him speak once, and I thought he was very good. He really knows his stuff. (Hey Al - you owe me a beer next time I see you).

Re: Need the link to Catalog Administration
I would look up the IMPORT CONNECT command to reconnect user catalogs. Most IDCAMS commands can be found in the TSO HELP facility if do you not have manuals handy. Either in TSO READY mode or OPTION 6 issue HELP IMPORT. Sometimes witnin ISPF you will need prefix the command with TSO. So it would be TSO HELP IMPORT. It should have the same information that you would find in a manual. If you want a hardcopy just run a IKJEFT01 in batch and in SYSTSIN place the command HELP IMPORT. Output will be on SYSTSPRT. Or if you have quickref issue QW IMPORT* HTH Lizette -- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
