Re: PDS to SEQ and back to PDS
I have a REXX which builds a member list and uses EXECIO to write each member preceded by a ./ADD card for IEBUPDTE. After the flat file is edited, simply use IEBUPDTE to add the members back to the PDS using the flat file as input. I can post the source or email it to the OP.

DSPSERV
Hi, I would like to allocate memory in Common Data Space with DSPSERV Macro and my requirement is that Data Space survive my Address Space Termination. That means it remains allocatad after my AS ends and other Address Spaces or an Exit-Routine can access it. One of my trial was, to allocate CDS in the name of MASTER (ASID=1) (DSPSERV ...,TTOKEN=(a TCB Token of MASTER)) , but it's not allowed. I get System Completion Code 01D reason Code xx0002xx.

Re: DSPSERV
Gabor There are various tricks you can use to do this - and most of them involve squirreling something away in one of the always there system address spaces without them knowing about it. But - why does your address space have to end? In my opinion, it would be much safer (and easier) to have a simple do nothing address space that owns the CADS - maybe with some sort of common storage anchor that contains the ALET and some indication of whether the CADS is available. Other users of this CADS can check the anchor control block for the ALET and flag bits before attempting to use it (after using TESTART to validate the ALET).

Gabor One way to do it is schedule an SRB into *MASTER* and that SRB performs the DSPSERV CREATE with TTOKEN. However, I would still advise against this for the following reasons : (1) There is a simpler and safer solution. (2) It is very likely that at some point you will cause problems in either your system or (worse still) a customer system whilst your code is perfected - do you want to get into that? (3) Every time there is a problem at a customer site and your fingers are in the *MASTER* ASID - you will not be above suspicion.

Re: DSPSERV
By the way, I applaud your decision to convert ECSA usage to a CADS - that is a sensible solution. Remember to maintain the usage of the blocks in the CADS - have some sort of high water mark or max size that the installation can tailor - otherwise if your main server address space is down for a non-trivial period of time the real frames backing the CADS will just keep increasing and you will not be very popular .

You're off the hook, and if you've yet taken no action, it would be interesting to let it run its course and see whether Tech Pubs agrees with us.

Re: Tools for Validating COBOL Source
-Original Message- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List On Behalf Of Timothy Sipples The oft-mentioned IBM WebSphere Developer for System z (WDz) performs excellent COBOL syntax validation on your PC. http://www.ibm.com/software/awdtools/devzseries/ You can see some recorded demonstrations which include syntax checking here: http://websphere.dfw.ibm.com/whidemo/atdemo_wsed_zosad_recorded.html If you are a CICS Transaction Server Version 3 licensee then you already can get a no-charge license for one full-function copy (sans IBM support; it's free after all). As mentioned previously, order the no-charge CICS Service Flow Feature to get this WDz license. Confusion again, but is it yours or mine? My recollection of the explanation given at an IBM workshop on CICS Web Services is that the single-seat WDz license comes with CICS TS 3.x itself, and that the SFF granted an additional ten (10) limited-to-SFF-use licenses; both without IBM support. You might check with Leigh Compton at the Dallas Systems Center to verify. (There was a deadline that past for ordering SFF for CICS Transaction Server V3.1. If you got in before the deadline, as advertised here, congratulations. If you didn't, sit tight for a little bit. Closer to the end of the year ordering should open back up for the new CICS Transaction Server V3.2 Service Flow Feature.) Actually, you can *order* the TS 3.2 SFF concurrently with CICS TS 3.2, with the SFF delivery to occur later (I think 4th quarter 2007 is the target). That's what we did, and it's in the TS 3.2 Announcement Letter that way. -jc- -- 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: Tools for Validating COBOL Source
-Original Message- From: Timothy Sipples [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, July 25, 2007 1:00 AM To: IBM-MAIN@BAMA.UA.EDU Subject: Re: Tools for Validating COBOL Source The oft-mentioned IBM WebSphere Developer for System z (WDz) performs excellent COBOL syntax validation on your PC. Snipped Why should you care? In addition to the time savings and productivity benefits (which can be measured in money terms), if you're doing COBOL syntax checking on your PC under WDz you're probably going to avoid some compile cycles on your mainframe. That could mean you save some CPU on your development/test LPAR(s). And that could mean you save some more money. This is especially true if you're CPU-starving your developers so that they cannot compile quickly enough during their prime shift. Developers cost money, so I'm a big advocate of keeping them happy and productive so they can do a good job. Yes, but the cost per seat is extremely high. When I was working on a CICS/TS web-enabled application last year and wanted to get a copy of WDz (or maybe it was Eclipse with Websphere addons, not sure now), I was told that it would cost USD$7K for me to be allowed to run that software on my company PC with CICS and DB2 support included (I needed both). No way was that happening. I don't think I'm alone in wanting better application tools that the company budget just cannot support. And it's not just IBM, MicroFocus COBOL has the same problem -- good tool, extreme cost per seat (about USD$8K the last time I checked a few years back). Even with negotiated volume discounts, thousands per seat is just unsupportable. One or ten free copies of WDz do no one but the sysprog staff any good, because hundreds of ordinary developers never get to use them. For my project, I wound up using open source HTML and java tools to get the web side of the job done. Somewhat clumsier, but it worked and the price was right.

SDSF z/OS 1.7 Quirk
We just IPL'd our sand box with z/OS 1.7 and are muddling thru. One thing I've noticed though, is in SDSF from the: HQX7720 - SDSF PRIMARY OPTION MENU -- At the bottom of the screen, we have: COMMAND INPUT === SCROLL === CSR instead of at the TOP of that screen, like on our old z/OS 1.4 system. I've hunted and pecked my way around/thru the help and extended help index, but still can't figure out what to set and/or reset to move the CMD prompt to the TOP. I've tried from SDSF and just the *ISPF Primary Option Menu* menu bar at the top. Nada. Every once in a while, it goes to the bottom of my screen on my old z/OS 1.4 system, but I'm not sure why.

Sysview 11,5 was installed and we noticed 3 month later that the reports that we generate to record transaction count, response time, and number of transactions stopped working. This is when I found out SYSVIEW went to using Easytrieve for these reports. I having problems using this approach. I have an open issue with CA for both product and they are not providing a quick answer. Has anyone written anything to process these records from SYSVIEW 11.5 and produce these type of CICS reports.

I compared with my cached copy and found no changes other than to the Last Changed header (self-fulfilling prophecy?).

PDS to SEQ and back to PDS.... Check the CBT Tape for LISTPDS
A real oldie but goodie is the famous LISTPDS assembler program written by Gene Czarcinski of NASA Goddard Space Flight Center in the early 70s for the 360/95 when he was its system programmer. Bill Godfrey, my former office mate at PRC at Goddard back in the 70s, added some nice enhancements. It was on the famous NASA Goddard Goodies tape for years. You can now pull it from the CBT TAPE. Like StarTool below, Bill Godfrey added support to preserve the ISPF statistics; it works just fine with a PDSE. If you use PARM=UPDTE and add a SYSPUNCH DD statement, it will punch the entire PDS or selected members with ./ ADD IEBUPDTE control statements. Also, and I'm not sure if it's in the free version of PDSTOOLS - but I know it's in StarTool from Serena, there is a subcommand SEPARATE that will (and quoting the manual) . . . splits a member or data set containing members with ./ separators into their component members.
