Fraud Detection Software

[Paul Hanrahan]

Hi,
 
There are some very sophisticated fraud detection packages. With the advent
of Check 21 some of the check kiting detection software will have to be
re-written.  The check kiting detection software I'm familiar with was
written in assembler but I imagine there's more contemporary
implementations.
 
At the one bank I worked for the manager and his staff lost the tape
containing the source code for the check kiting detection package they were
responsible for. I'm of the opinion that this tape was valuable but the
manager just blew it off like it was nothing.
 
Today I got a letter from a university I applied to explaining that my ss#
and other personal information were on a lap top that stolen out of the
admissions office.
 
After receiving the letter I requested a fraud alert be place on the credit
bureaus. I guess tomorrow I'll go to the bank and request an alert be placed
on my accounts there.
 
No wonder id theft is such big business with large institutions being so
careless in how they handle things.
 
Paul

I must be missing something here, but here goes.

We used to test all of our JES2 exits by writing simple driver programs.
Just run the driver program with and without the Exit call and subtract
the differnce.

Re: Banks

[John P Baker]

In the United States, a social security number is required for tax filing,
government benefits, and has essentially become a national id number,
although it was initially not intended to be used for that purpose.

Employers must have your social security number in order to submit payroll
taxes and have them credited against your total tax liability.

Financial institutions must have your social security number for tracking of
financial transactions.  You can not open a bank account, take out a loan,
purchase anything on credit, etc., without a social security number (or a
taxpayer id number for non-citizens).

You can not get a driver's license without a social security number.

The Citigroup financial information lost, or stolen, in transit is a big
potential problem in that IF it was stolen, it provides to the thieves
everything necessary to open bank accounts, etc. using someone else's name.

It can take years and thousands of dollars for one individual to clear up
the mess.  Identity theft can make it difficult or impossible to do simple
things like opening a bank account or taking out a loan.  Identify theft can
even make it difficult to get a job.

As a Software Engineer, I can not excuse the companies who, through neglect
or incompetence, or both, let things like this happen when the technology is
available to protect these records from unauthorized access.

We are not talking about a minor inconvenience here.  Identify theft can
have catastrophic effects on lives.

John,

Thanks for that. I just checked some articles on this and see that it was
names, addresses and Social Security numbers that were lost.

Still, I come from a country that doesn't have Social Security numbers for
identification, and I live in a country where everyone carries an ID card
with a photo on it.

Names and addresses I can get from phone books and electoral rolls, so what
does a social security number get me?

IBM MF-theme vanity plates (was RE: TSO replacement? [WAS: RE: Userids]

[Keith E. Moe]

I have Mainframe vanity plates on both my vehicles.

When I moved to California in 1976, it was to work for Amdahl, so I got NONIBM. 
(Remember, back then there wasn't Microsoft, Sun, etc.). I still 
have it, although on a some newer vehicle. And it's still appropriate, as I now 
work for BMC Software (2 months and counting).

My other vehicle has the name of my favorite exit in MVS: IKJEFLD.

Back in the late seventies, early eighties, my coworker got IEFBR14 as his 
license plate. He gave it up when he moved to Hong Kong.

Frank,
 Have you gone through all the ISMF screens in the option to define

go through to define a new Management Class.

I have sent you an email off-list of a Management Class that does what you

Re: REXX under TSO [WAS: TSO replacement? [WAS: RE: Userids]]

[Skip Robinson]

EXECIO in the early TSOE days supported only reading an entire file into an
array in one shot. While VM seemed to have no gag reflex, TSOE would choke
of files of substantial size. It was also awkward to convert a CLIST to a
Rexx because the I/O logic was so different.

Not too long after the original implementation, TSOE Rexx was enhanced to
be able to use more customary I/O logic: OPEN, READ, READ,...CLOSE. This
fixed both the overload problem and the conversion problem.

The length varies from state to state, from 6 (Texas being the best example)
to 8 (California). There are also other restrictions: nothing obscene,
nothing that looks like a sequential plate from one of a whole bunch of
series, that kind of thing. Personalized plates (the politically correct
term) vary in cost, from $20 or so up to over $100 per year on top of the
registration fee.

As it happens, the one thing I'd put on a personalized plate is something I
can get a lot cheaper than that...every US state allows ham radio operators
to get their callsign on their license plates, usually at a greatly reduced
cost (in Texas, it's $1/year additional).

IANAL either; that's why I suggested asking the legal staff. However,
if the vendor is in breach of contract then I suspect that a court
would consider the fake CPUID a justifiable remedy. Certainly filing
suit against the Federal Government for exercising such a remedy would
be suicidal even if they won; the publicity alone would destroy their

The entire DR test was only 25 hours, and the contract specified a

Delete automatically after 30 days migrated data set (ML2)

[Frank Alequin]

Hello,

I was trying to create a Management Class to Migrate a dataset after 1
day, keep it for 31 days and after that expire it. In this case we migrate
those datasets directly to ML2.

How am I supose to define the management class to perform such an action.

I have the following define;

Expiration Attributes

  Expire after Days Non-usage  . : 31
  Expire after Date/Days . . . . : NOLIMIT
  Retention Limit  . . . . . . . : NOLIMIT

With this definition I have notice that none of the data sets have been
deleted after 31 days.

Thank you and have a nice day.

Re: DFS SMB Help

I would like clarification on Ed's point. I have made it a point NOT to
synchronize my SMB password with anything else because I thought it was
merely stored in the clear in some HFS like /etc. Does it really go into
the RACF DCE segment?

Re: IBM MF-theme vanity plates (was RE: TSO replacement? [WAS: RE: Userids]

[Perryman, Brian]

Ah.. I guess we're talking USA-specific stuff here again.. Oh well. 
 
I think I once read or was once told by someone that, in the US, you could have 
any vehicle licence plate as long as it was no more than eight characters, and 
didn't even have to be unique - by far and away the most popular being 
FOXYLADY..?
 
In the 51st State however, somewhat typically for a country where you need to 
have a licence to fish, shoot, watch TV, listen to the radio, keep a car on the 
road, keep a car OFF the road and, until only recently, own a dog, good ol' Her 
Majesty's Government impose a much stricter regime on us and you can only buy a 
licence plate ('registration number') that has actually been issued at some 
point, and also does not make the vehicle appear 'newer' than it actually is 
(all UK plates have a code letter denoting the year of registration of the 
vehicle).
 
There are several formats in the UK, depending on the age of the vehicle, and 
'useful' combinations are therefore limited but I enquired about S390 MVS only 
to be told it was still in use (allocated to a vehicle) and then, just to rub 
salt in the wounds, blow me if I didn't then see it driving around a month or 
two later..

Re: Can we measure cpu use of a JES2 Exit

[Skip Robinson]

Unless you have a scandalous expanse of free time on your hands, I suggest
that you take the Douglas Adams approach: the answer is 42, or some
plausible variation thereof:

.42% - probably close to the truth, but so not worth writing home about
that people will wonder why you even bothered
42% - bound to get you instant recognition, which might take the form of a
summary personal escort out of the building
4.2% - this would be my personal choice. Nothing to sneeze at, but unlikely
to raise eyebrows to perilous heights

And that the first car was just like it?

The other errors are TRAP-D. Same thing as 0C4 on MVS. Most likely a 
bad pointer. Usually there is a screen that pops up and shows enough
info to identify the failing instruction. Most OS/2 programmers that
I worked with would ignore it and try to run under a debugger or add
printfs to figure out the error.

Hopefully to save you some time and money.  A 657 is a host name

Shmuel,

I haven't a clue about dumps, traces, etc. I do know that IBM was contacted. 
The problem is in some of our bank branches and it forces them to reboot. I am

myself.

Thanks anyway,

How sure are you that those are resolvable without access to the

Have you taken any dumps[1] or traces? Have you contacted IBM? Have
you posted sa query on, e.g., comp.os.os2.bugs?

You should have a 2074 Configuration Guide.  If not, download it here
http://www-1.ibm.com/servers/s390/os390/bkserv/hwpdf/2074.html

Page 1-13 "Update LAN Configuration Menu" in the Configurator app describes how 
to display and configure the LAN cards on the 2074.

Re: 2074 IP address

[Natarajan Mohan]

Phil,

IP Address is configured in the 2074 itself. you could have to use the
configurator on 2074 to find the same. If it has a DNS entry and uses a
meaningful entry, you could try this on command prompt

> NSLOOKUP
>ls -d your-domain-name > dns-entry.txt
>exit

and find the file to look up the dns-entry in your network.

[snip]

What about JES2's overhead in invoking the exit?  In the particular 
case in question that's going to be insignificant relative to the cost
of the SVC 26(s), but in other situations it might be something that
needs to be factored in.

If you want to know how much CPU time an exit uses, don't remove it! Put 
a TIMEUSED macro at entry and exit -- and in the case of a JES2 exit, 
before and after any service call that will enter JES2's "dispatcher". 
Subtract the start/end values as necessary. Add the difference to an 
accumulator located in a common location. Dump or otherwise inspect that 
accumulator from time to time. If you also accumulate the number of 
times the exit is invoked, you will be able to determine average CPU per 
invocation.

One idea, for what it's worth:  have the exit ATTACH a subtask, then  WAIT 
for the sub-task to end, then return to the caller.  The ATTACHed  subtask does 
all the SVC 26 and other work.  I believe that CPU measurement  is at the task 
level, so you need to separate all the work that the exit does  into its own 
task that does nothing else.  In the subtask you find the  appropriate timing 
control block and compute the delta in CPU time from when the  subtasks starts 
to when it ends.

Re: DFS SMB Help

[Alan C. Field]

Thanks everyone for the suggestions. 

Skip - updating ShopzSeries is exactly what I had been using it for when 
it worked.

If I remember right there are two address spaces DFS and DFSKERN. 

I have watched the startup and it looks like DFSKERN is starting and 
failing 
with a IOEW16075A ... Host name registration failed ..." message. It  then 
goes 
away. 

I can successfully map and access the drives until it does.

 Now if I can get it to register successfully, or not attempt registration 
I'll be a happy
sysprog.

In your case, the best solution would probably be to get or buy a 
product that supports encryption/decryption on both Windows and z/OS. 
One example that comes to mind is SecureZIP from PKWARE but there might 
be others. I think it would be a good idea to think about the key 
management and, if possible, select a product that doesn't require you 
to send passwords or keys around all the time.


On the z800, the CCFs are a chargeable feature that will cost you 
somewhere between USD 3000 - 5000. ICSF is just a toolbox, so then you 
will still need to do the programming and testing on both platforms. I 
wouldn't want to do that.

IDC0550I ENTRY (A) DEVE.ZSSV.ZOD000 DELETED

IDC0001I FUNCTION COMPLETED, HIGHEST CONDITION CODE WAS 0
 

This is confusing.  Your DELETE said CLUSTER but the (A) in the messages 
indicates non-VSAM; I would expet that to fail.   It also deleted 4 
names in addition to the name you specified.  those might have been 
aliases of the base name but I expected aliases to show type (X). 

You can't tell what volumes the dataset was deleted from.  I suppose it 
is possible that since you said CLUSTER but the catalog entry was 
non-VSAM it deleted the catalog but not the DSCB from disk, which would 
explain the following error. 


IF LASTCC < 12 -

THEN ALTER DEVE.ZSSV.TMP -

NEWNAME(DEVE.ZSSV.ZOD000)

IDC3026I DUPLICATE DATA SPACE NAME ON VOLUME

IDC3009I ** VSAM CATALOG RETURN CODE IS 172 - REASON CODE IS IGG0CLEC-4

IDC0532I **ENTRY DEVE.ZSSV.TMP NOT ALTERED

If the dataset being renamed is on a different volume from the dataset 
being deleted earlier, and there is an uncataloged copy of the newname 
on that volume, then this could occur.  Or it could be that the DSCB was 
not deleted as I suggeste earlier.


I would usually try to test, but I have no time now

Re: z/OS C: VL=1 for parameter lists?

[Farley, Peter x23353]

In my specific case I am passing "&p1, &p2, ..." deliberately.  I will try
removing the "&" operator and see what is generated...

OK, tried that and without a "&" operator the generated code passes the
address of a COPY of the value of the variable.  So, the parameter list is
addresses, but NOT the address of the actual variable, only a COPY of the
value, at least for scalar variables. String parameters (char *)
specifically declared in the function declaration are passed the actual
variable address.  Don't know yet how "struct" or "union" parameters will be
passed, still experimenting with those.

The manuals really ought to make these rules clearer.  I need to RTFM in the
C/C++ language reference manual again to see if I can find a better
description of what should be generated in each case.

Have you looked at the volume using ISPF option 3.4? There may well be
an "orphaned" VTOC entry from some time in the past. This used to happen
here due to a particular programmer who loved the NOSCRATCH option. If
there is an orphan on the volume, use DELETE ... VVR to get rid of it.

VSAM HELP.

[Howard Rifkind]

Hello All,
 
We are having an issue with a job using VSAM.  As shown below the VSAM dataset 
below gets a zero return code from the delete command.
 
However in the next command the user is trying to alter (rename) another VSAM 
dataset to the name of the previously deleted dataset and it doens't work.
 
In fact the deleted dataset still is on a DASD volume but is uncataloged.
 
Any one have an idea what's going on here?
 
Thanks.

Re: Banks

[John Baker]

Ron,

The issue a not the card number but is rather all of the personal information 
(i.e., social security numbers, transaction histories, etc.) which can be used 
to establish identity.

Replacing cards is easy.  Repairing damaged credit is another thing all 
together.

John,

Actually, in my part of the world Citibank has a pretty good record in my
opinion. I used to travel regularly to Indonesia a few years ago using a
Citibank Credit Card. 

Twice in an eighteen month period I was part of a mass card replacement for
everyone that had used a Citibank credit card in Jakarta during a certain
period because they were aware of some sort of fraud risk.

This was done at no cost to me and at my convenience (as I travel a lot). It
was not 3.9 million cards, but it was a bloody lot of cards replaced
worldwide.

I really wonder if the lost information amounts to risk of identity theft,
or is it simply basic fraud risk. Every time I use my credit card I leave
behind my name and account number, and that name and account number pass
through many hands before it is filed away. They may have my name and my
credit card number to commit credit card fraud, but they still have a lot of
work to do to steal my identity in a way that I will incur a loss.

Is this risk of a loss to each individual increased if this same information
is on a tape as I leave behind on a piece of paper? Certainly the number of
people at risk is large, but IMHO the individual risk is no greater.

And perhaps we are ignoring some of the transaction profiling that has been
put in place to protect against fraud (hooray for the software engineers). I
am often called by credit card companies when a transaction is not within my
usual spending pattern or geography - and I appreciate it. This is part of
the credit card fraud systems designed to flag when a customer's activity
suddenly changes. 

Sure it is an occasional nuisance, but it is nice to know it is there. You
bet those 3.9 million credit cards will be flagged for special attention by
these profiling systems.

Sure it was a bad thing to happen, but suddenly requiring banks to encrypt
every single thing that leaves the premises - well you can bet the
shareholders will not be paying for it. If this is what customers want, then
they should not grumble when the costs are passed on to them.

I don't understand what you want. Do you want a program which read a JCL
deck and produces an XML output file. For a simple example:

//JOBNAME JOB (ACCT),PGMRID,CLASS=X,MSGCLASS=X,NOTIFY=ME
//STEP1 EXEC PGM=IEBGENER
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSIN DD DUMMY
//SYSUT1 DD DISP=SHR,DSN=SYS1.MACLIB(READ)
//SYSUT2 DD SYSOUT=*
//

encoded into something like:


  
JOBNAME
(ACCT)
PGMRID
X
X
ME
  
  
STEP1
IEBGENER
SYSPRINT*
SYSIN
 
SYSUT1SHRSYS1.MACLIB(READ)<
/DD>
SYSUT2*
  
  


I don't know of anything to do that.

On the other hand, if you need a program which can take an input file of
some sort and create a XML encoded output file, then Compuware's FileAid
will do that. I don't know much about how, I just know that we used to
do that back when we had FileAid.

Subject: IRD & Short Engine Effect at 100% CEC utilization


All,

Has anyone besides me noticed IRD allow short on engines in an LPAR
cluster with Weight Management and CPU Vary enabled?  We're at 1.4, and
as far as I know we've got all the updates for IRD.

I've had an experience on a large system (>10 PCPs) with 2 LPARS and the
CEC running at 100%, where every available LCPU was online to both
LPARS, min weights were set to 1 and max weights left blank.  Importance
1 work was fine.  Importance 2 work was hovering around PI 1.0.  On the
"bigger LPAR" (70% of CEC) importance 3 work was running around PI 4.0,
and on the "smaller LPAR" importance 3 work was running in the mid 200's
for PI.  IRD left ALL LCPUs online to the big LPAR, took some off the
smaller one, but still left us with a ratio of 1.45 LCPU to 1 PCP.  As
importance 4 and 5 work on the smaller LPAR didn't get any time, the in
and ready queue stacked to the sky, going as high as 20 times the number
of physical CPUs it was dispatching.  Taking some LCPUs off of the
larger LPAR allowed the in and ready queue on PAR2 to get caught up in
short order.  IRD didn't take LCPUs off of the big LPAR to reduce the
short engine effect (MVS busy vs LPAR busy was over 30% different), and
it's puzzling.

Isn't IRD supposed to work to avoid the short engine effect?

Other than this one time, IRD's been working very well.  I'll admit,
however, I don't know why IRD prefers to keep all available LCPUs online
when workloads are low - isn't the dispatching algorithm expensive
enough that this is a bad idea (book says: to maximize multiprocessing)?

Am I the only one who has seen this, and scratched their head and
wondered why?

Thanks and best regards,

Based upon locally reported (second-hand) information, probably in the
range of $1,000 to $15,000 per incident.  While I would hope that not all
of the estimated 3.9 million names will be hit, you can safely estimate the
loss of the tapes could run into the billions (thousands of millions) of
dollars.

Since the potential victims involved were financing items through
CitiFinancial at the time, one might presume they don't have a lot of
liquid assets to divert to salvaging their credit ratings.  And what with
the latest changes to bankrupcy laws impacting many of those same people,
well... crippled or wounded would be about the right way of looking at
their situation.


(You might recall that someone from Citicorp/bank/financial was asking on
this very list within the last year about tape losses, etc.  You might also
recall that I was rather agitated then with their apparent lack of
sophistication.)

What level of UNIX is z/OS

[Don Ault]

Here is a much more precise answer to the question.  Thanks to Nick Carbone
in the C group for the response.
z/OS is sitting at the XPG 4.2 branding level achieved back in MVS 5.2.2.
You mention UNIX 95.  I suppose that could be considered equiavalent to XPG
4.2.  Since then, we have implemented some UNIX 98 (XPG Issue 5), some C99
(ISO/IEC 9899:1999), and some UNIX 03 (XPG Issue 6) functions over the
years.  We are designed for full support of C99 in R7.  We are neither UNIX
98 nor UNIX 03 compliant at this time.

The pertinent feature test macros added since XPG 4.2 are:

_XOPEN_SOURCE 500   exposes some UNIX 98 (automatically turns on the
other feature test macros to bring in XPG 4.2 interfaces)
_ISOC99_SOURCE  exposes some C99 (does not automatically turn on
any other feature test macro)
_UNIX03_SOURCE  exposes some UNIX 03 (which includes IEEE POSIX
1003.1:2001) (does not turn on any other feature test macro)

The C/C++ Run-Time Library Reference should indicate the level of standards
implemented.  If information there is unclear, incorrect, or otherwise
insufficient, this person can contact me directly and I will take care of
the issues.

I don't believe that RICO applies.  Doesn't conviction under RICO require
that the defendant have taken part in some overt criminal act?

Unless the Federal Government enacts provisions requiring that financial
institutions implement some minimal degree of protection for these financial
records, which would have to be spelled out in the statute or in some
accompanying implementing regulations, a criminal prosecution seems
unlikely.

On the other hand, a class action lawsuit could have the desired effect.
Unfortunately, it would also further enrich the Trial Lawyers.

z/OS C: VL=1 for parameter lists?

[Farley, Peter x23353]

I have RTFM'd everywhere I can, but nowhere do I see an option or a pragma
to tell the compiler to use the "VL=1" parameter list convention when
calling an OS-style subroutine, i.e. mark the last parameter in the list
with X'80'.  Is there any way to force this behavior?  "#pragma(func,OS)"
does NOT cause this behavior.

Environment is z/OS 1.4 if it makes a difference.

Another method of handling programs that produce multiple dumps is to
use FREE=CLOSE to allow multiple dump DDs. e.g.

//TEST1   EXEC PGM=SHRMAIN,REGION=5M
//STEPLIB  DD  DSN=SASDTP.TEST.LOAD,DISP=SHR
//CTRANS   DD  DSN=SASDTP.LC750.LOAD,DISP=SHR   
// DD  DSN=LSD.LC750.LOAD,DISP=SHR  
//SYSPRINT DD  SYSOUT=* 
//SYSTERM  DD  SYSOUT=* 
//LOG  DD  SYSOUT=* 
//SYSMDUMP DD  DSN=SASDTP.SYSMDUMP,DISP=SHR,FREE=CLOSE  
//SYSUDUMP DD  SYSOUT=*,FREE=CLOSE  
//SYSMDUMP DD  DSN=SASDTP.SYSMDUM2,DISP=SHR,FREE=CLOSE  
//SYSUDUMP DD  SYSOUT=*,FREE=CLOSE  

If the last dump DD has FREE=CLOSE, then dumps taken after that DD is
closed will not be captured. To insure that all dumps are  
captured put a SYSUDUMP DD as the last dump DD and omit the
FREE=CLOSE.   
  
For example:  
  
//SYSMDUMP DD  DSN=SASDTP.SYSMDUMP,DISP=SHR,FREE=CLOSE
//SYSUDUMP DD  SYSOUT=*,FREE=CLOSE
//* use a separate DSN for each SYSMDUMP! 
//SYSMDUMP DD  DSN=SASDTP.SYSMDUM2,DISP=SHR,FREE=CLOSE
//SYSUDUMP DD  SYSOUT=*,FREE=CLOSE
//SYSUDUMP DD  SYSOUT=*   
  
This would capture the first and third dumps as machine dumps, the
second and forth as separate formatted dumps and the remaining
dumps concatenated in one sysout file.

Which Unix standard is z/OS v1r6 compatible with? Unix95?Unix03?IEEE Posix 1003.1:2001?

[Don Ault]

z/OS R6 is compliant with XPG 4.2.
Portions of further standards are implemented, but none to the point where
compliance can be claimed.  We tend to pick and choose additional function
as the need arises.

Any method to select the second  etc. dump?

Using DISP=MOD is a good idea.  ISPF, for one, can see some applications 
ABENDs that produce dumps and, in turn, conclude that its "physical 
screen task" is a potential villain.  When that happens, you'll get two, 
related dumps from a single incident.  The first, generated closest to 
the point of error is likely to be the best one, and it can be directly 
examined using IPCS.  The header record for the 2nd will be treated as a 
logical EOF for IPCS purposes.  But you asked about the 2nd, 3rd, 


The IPCS COPYDUMP subcommand was designed to address this situation, 
allowing you to manually walk through the contents of a data set and 
select which logical dump(s) that you want copied to data sets by 
themselves.  The many return codes that can be generated should, in 
principle, also allow you to come up with a command procedure that helps 
 you perform the processing your way.

Try using the IPCS COPYDUMP subcommand - there is a SKIP parameter which
allows you to skip one or more dumps.
