Re: ASSEMBLER-LIST Digest - 27 Mar 2014 to 28 Mar 2014 (#2014-58)

2014-03-31 Thread John Walker
There are things in rexx that are awful.  And I grant that pl/i or even cobol 
would be better run-time wise.  The execio is one of the issues that I am aware 
of.  I toyed with the  idea of partially converting the rexx exec to an 
assembler doing the i/o, but figured it was not worth it.  There again, I had 
spare time as a smp/e person doing the mainframe work.  Maintainability is one 
of the high points of rexx, and yes, I agree, assembler can be as maintainable 
as rexx if adequately documented.  Sorry, too many links back, I can't remember 
which Scott I was talking to.  It was the one boasting about all of his 
pc-centric skills, so whichever one it was.  Boy, I wished I could do assembler 
full time.  I'm stuck here doing god-awful quick-jobs.  Now, that's the pits.

Rexx substr not retiring string

2014-03-31 Thread Micheal Butz
I have some imbedded JCL in a. sequitial file

Problem is it starts at col 2 and I need it shift over to column 1

So I use a stem e.g outvar

Do I = 1 to n.  /* where n is the number of lines */

Outvar.I = substr(jcl.I,2,81)

Afterwards I write out the results

execio * DISKW outds (finis stem outvar

Outds is the ddname of the dataset that should have the Jcl

When I look at the dataset represented by outds

It the variable name outvar0,outvar1

But not the data

Thanks

You forgot the period in the stem name EXECIO * DISKW OUTDS (FINIS STEM 
OUTVAR. 

Alternatively, ISPF edit has a line command to shift data (e.g. ((2 on the 
first line and (( on the last line to shift).

PTF level in SYSPRINT

2014-03-31 Thread Paul Gilmartin
(Motivated by a thread in IBM-MAIN.)

I notice that the HLASM PTF level appears on the first page of
every SYSPRINT.

Does this imply that there is a unique CSECT updated by every PTF?

Implying that each PTF has its immediate predecessor as a PRErequisite?

Implying, in turn, that the graph of service does not branch?

Limiting customers' freedom of choice in service configuration?

But simplifying Tech Support's chore in problem analysis?

(It's possible that such a CSECT is delivered in a different
++MOD element in various PTFs as needed.  I shudder (and so,
I suspect, would Kurt Quackenbush) to consider the implications
of RESTOREing any such PTF.)

Is that PTF level available as a preset GBLC symbol?
