Re: DLSw Test Program? (Was OSA-Express2 and SNA Pcomm - loss of connectivity)
Hi Chris, There is (was?) a Microsoft utility called DLCPing. I think it was included on the CD-ROM in Microsoft's HIS 2000 Resource Kit (long out of print, and now very difficult to obtain). DLCPing is also occasionally given to customers by Microsoft PSS, to use in troubleshooting SNA connectivity problems. As far as I know, DLCPing is licensed software and not freely distributable; I suspect some of the code was licensed from a well-known third party vendor of SNA software (who is not IBM). Otherwise I'd email you a copy. But if you can track down a copy of the old HIS 2000 Resource Kit, you might find a copy of DLCPing to use.

Re: ISPF FREED SYS1.PARMLIB
Steve, I believe that IPLPARM is separate for a reason. Lets get back to what you are using SETLOAD for. That is to fix a PARMLIB issue. You do not need a fully specified LOADxx member to do this. All you need is the necessary PARMLIB statements to fix your problem. As such, I would have no problem keeping a LOADFX (LOADfix) member in PARMLIB, maybe even temporarily, just to address this issue. After all, in reality, most of us don't use SETLOAD bey much as it is.

As suggested, SETLOAD was the way to go for me. I once again have a properly sized SYS1.PARMLIB. However, while reviewing SETLOAD documentation, questions spring to mind: Do you folks concatenate your SYSx.IPLPARM (if you use it) to PARMLIB in LOADxx? I was also curious if IEFPRMLB could be made to include by default the PDS where LOADxx was found at IPL time, much like it includes by default SYS1.PARMLIB. I've recently taken to using LOADxx found in SYSx.IPLPARM on the IODF volume instead of finding LOADxx in SYS1.PARMLIB. When I first issued my SETLOAD command, it failed because I didn't specify DSN=SYSx.IPLPARM as I should have, because at this time, I don't concatenate SYSx.IPLPARM. I know, how I concatenate PARMLIB is my choice, but I'd hate to be viewed as 'out there' if this isn't considered standard practice! ;) I don't know if I'm OCD, but I like having any/all of my LOADxxs found in one place. I happen to choose SYSx.PARMLIB for that. I've also considered creating a SYS1.LLA.PARMLIB (and system specific SYS1.LLA.PARMLIBs) to contain CSVLLAxx members, excluding CSVLLA00.

This SOP replaces all previous z/OS Stand-Alone Dump procedures. Perform the following steps in order to create a Stand-Alone system dump. The reason for a Stand Alone Dump is to save the master address space and all its contents some place else to be sent off for further analysis of why the system failed.

If you initiate an SAD with the SADMP00 profile and receive message AMD093I that SYS1.SADMP00 is not empty, reply to the AMD001A message with device address 2400 to use SYS1.SADMP and the SAD will proceed normally without further intervention.

Re: Subtracting TOD-CLOCK values to get duration.
Bit 51 in the TOD clock is the microsecond bit. Everything to the right of that is something less than a microsecond. If you have 64 bit register capability, just load one register with a TOD value, then another with the other TOD, and subtract to get the difference. You can then shift out everything beyond bit 51, and you have the number of microseconds. Leave it without the shift, and call STCKCONV, and it will give you the time value formatted in what you have specified on the call. Don't forget that the 8 byte TOD is unsigned, so bit zero is part of the value, not the sign. You will need to use the subtract logical form to get the right answer without playing bit-shifting games, even in a 64 bit register.

JES2 exit 20 on z/OS 1.8 - question.
I have a JES2 exit 20 on z/OS 1.6. What is does is look at the submitting user and set a job selection priority for certain jobs, but only if submitted by CA7. It does this by chaining from the DCT to the ASCB and checking the STC name. This doesn't work on 1.8 because the DCT not longer contains a pointer to the owning ASCB. However, it appears that the XPL points to a new control block called the JRW. This control block contains a field called the JRWSJNAM. However, I don't really know that this is the jobname of the job(stc) which owns the DCT.

Splitting a large physical sequential dataset
I need to split a large physical sequential dataset into two separate files. Unfortunately, it's too large to edit using ISPF Edit. I thought about using IEBGENER or DFSORT. I thought there was an easy way to write the first 100,000 records to a dataset and skip the rest, then skip the first 100,000 records and write the remainder to another dataset, using IEBGENER or DFSORT and the right control cards. I got around the problem without having to write a simple read/write program, but I'm still curious - is there a simple way to do what I wanted to do using IEBGENER, DFSORT, or another IBM utility?

PDS to Sequential Question
Ok, I confess, I'm suffering from old age. I know that there is a way to concatenate n PDSes together, and then extract a member from this to a sequential file. Why am I needing this? Well, I have several levels of source libraries (PROD, TEST, Private) and I need to pull a member from the lowest level and assemble it. And I'd like to have a batch job that does this so I don't have to fiddle with all of it when I have a complex module to be linked together after a few macro changes. IEBCOPY won't do it (well, not simply). IEBPTPCH wants to put in ASA control characters, IEBGENER will go sequential to pds with control statements.

Re: Subtracting TOD-CLOCK values to get duration.
I don't know about any clock simulators, Ed, but I went and found the code that was involved and it was the CONVTOD macro that accepted a maximum date of September 17, 2042. Ed Jaffe pointed out that the hardware does not yet support higher dates, but I might argue that the software (CONVTOD) still could, at least when using the STCKE/ETOD format. To support retention periods beyond what CONVTOD would allow, I had to write my own code which was based, somewhat, on the calendar conversion work of Peter Baum, which is documented at http://vsg.cape.com/~pbaum/index.htm.

Re: Subtracting TOD-CLOCK values to get duration.
Ah, but then along came Sarbanes-Oxley which changed the rules for a lot of end users. There is at least one such compliant storage device out there that takes an expiration period in units of seconds -- and the field is 64 bits wide. Customers are actually looking for retention periods of 50 and 100 years to be enforced by the storage hardware. (Obviously, the data could never live in this one device for that long, but the manufacturer has convinced customers that there will be a migration path down the road and that all of the metadata like retention period will migrate along with the data in a secure way.) I wasn't surprised that CONVTOD didn't support dates beyond 2042; it would have just saved me a lot of work if it had. I understand the reasoning that the developers likely went through, as you suggest, and I too would have probably came to the same decision given the same circumstances.
