LCUs on spanned channels
Hi, Ran into an odd situation defining a storage box on spanned channels. There are 26 LPARs in this CPU (z15), 12 in LCSS 0 and 14 in LCSS 1, running z/OS 2.4. The storage box has 6 channel paths (01-06 FICON, spanned) directly connected (no switch) to this CPU, and there are 64 LCUs defined on the storage box. The limitation in the storage box is there can be no more than 1280 LCUs on any Host Adapter (read: CHPID). In order to make this fit, in HCD we limit the paths from some LPARs in LCSS 0 (high IOPS LPARs get 6, lower IOPS LPARs get 3) in the access list, and this works out to 960 LCUs behind each CHPID, as expected. So far so good. The odd thing arises when we start limiting LPAR access in LCSS 1. Every CHPID sees 2 times as many LCUs on it than expected. For example, there are 3 LPARs that are limited to access CHPIDs 01, 02 and 03. I would expect that CHPIDs 01, 02 and 03 would each see 192 LCUs: 3 LPARs x 64 LCUs on each CHPID for 192 LCUs. What HCD reports is 384, not 192. All other LPARs in LCSS 1 also show twice what we expect, and this pushes us over the 1280 limit. When we reduce one of the 3-path LPARs on LCSS 1 from 3 paths to 1 path (changed access list from 04, 05, 06 to 06), the reduction should have been 64 LCUs on CHPIDs 04 and 05, but instead we saw a reduction of 128 LCUs, i.e. twice what we expected. To complicate things even more, channels 04 and 05 in LCSS 0 each got reduced by 64, but we didn't change anything in LCSS 0. Has anybody run into this sort of thing before?

Re: What is GRXBIMG
A more interesting question might be "what happens if I do allocate it?" and at least for a simple test with ALLOC FI(GRXBIMG) DA(*) the answer seems to be "nothing special." What might this be a relic of? GRX does not seem to be a component prefix. I could be wrong. Here's my theory: a developer whose initials were GR added some sort of debug output: GRXBIMG = George Rothwell's Extended Byte Image or something like that. It somehow made it into the product documentation. Astounding that it has hidden there in plain sight for over twenty years. I do not see the reference in the 1991 MVS/REXX Reference: http://www.bitsavers.org/pdf/ibm/370/TSO_Extensions/SC28-1883-4_TSO_Extensions_Version_2_Procedures_Langage_MVS_REXX_Reference_Aug1991.pdf Charles -Original Message- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU] On Behalf Of Paul Gilmartin Sent: Wednesday, June 3, 2020 9:16 AM To: IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU Subject: Re: What is GRXBIMG On Wed, 3 Jun 2020 07:00:19 -0700, Charles Mills wrote: >I must have time on my hands.

It is always preferable to put the temporary fields at the end of the record using OVERLAY. This would let you have the original data as is. The only issue with this approach is when dealing with Variable Length files and you want to preserve the lengths. By adding the temp fields at the end you make every record the same length which defeats the purpose of variable length records. For VLR you put the temp field right after the RDW and move the contents to the right.

I routine share channels across LPARs. The purpose of the switch is to connect multiple physical CECs to a single device. Yes, it is incorrect. Linguistically incorrect. And I sustain what I said (or wanted to say) using my poor English, so let me rephrase it: FICON chpid can be share between LPARs. Or even spanned - that mean share betwenn LPARs belonging to different CSSes. FICON can be used to attach multiple CUs, like two DASD boxes, or DASD and tape (not recommended, but possible). In order to do that you have to use switch. And the above is the only method to have CTC on FICON chpid, which is also used for other CU connectivity (like DASD or tape). Your purpose of the switch is also valid, however in this scenario the CU may have more channel adapters and each CPC may use point-to-point connectivity directly to a CU. It is especially reasonable when given CU has more than 8 channel adapters, i.e. 16. In that scenario CPC A may use 8 channels (max. limit), and CPC B may use other 8 channels. Back to the topic it is impossible to share FC chpid for CU connectivity and CTC *without the switch*. -- Radoslaw Skorupka Lodz, Poland == Jeśli nie jesteś adresatem tej wiadomości: - powiadom nas o tym w mailu zwrotnym (dziękujemy!), - usuń trwale tę wiadomość (i wszystkie kopie, które wydrukowałeś lub zapisałeś na dysku).

Re: FW: Your comment on ISPF publication
It would appear that IKJSCAN considers leading commas to be similar to leading blanks in ignoring them when calculating the parameter offset. TSO/E Programming Services states: The Command Scan Service Routine examines the command buffer and performs the following functions: It translates all lowercase characters in the subcommand name to uppercase. If a valid operand is present, it resets the offset to the number of text bytes preceding the first non-blank character in the operand field. If a valid operand is not present, the offset equals the length of the text portion of the buffer. It returns a pointer to the subcommand name, the length of the subcommand name, and a code explaining the results of its scan to the calling routine. It optionally checks the syntax of the subcommand name. It recognizes an implicit EXEC command that has a percent sign as the first character. It handles leading blanks and embedded comments. It appears that the second clause is not precise. Probably will be closed by IBM with a DOC APAR.
