Re: Hanging command
Hi Barbara, It is normal. I remember it being like that since CMDS was available... After the first SLIP the task in *MASTER* does not end, but stays there in a WAIT for more SLIP commands. Gil.

Re: Hanging command
Gil, now that you mention it, I checked the (long) syscmds reference. It even says so in the book (doh:-( ). Note: Some commands remain active indefinitely, so the system will display them whenever CMDS is issued. For example, if any SLIP commands have been issued and SLIP traps are in effect, one SLIP command will be executing until all traps are deleted. This is also true for many SET commands, such as SET SLIP and SET MPF. Currently one collegue has a logon command attached in master, too, even though he is logged in. But only on this one system.

LE-compliant assembler program with 'instance-storage'.
I have a question about LE-compliant assembler programs: at our shop we only write LE-compliant assembler programs.The programs must be able to run in every environment used in the company: MVS batch, IMS and CICS. Programs created using the LE-provided macros (CEEENTRY, CEEDSA, CEEPPA et al) normally allocate extra space on the LE-stack for temporary variables. They cannot contain a WSA (Writable Static Area) because that would make them non-reentrant and makes it impossible to use them in a CICS transaction. This poses no problems in most situations but sometimes we would like to maintain a 'state' in a program that is saved between different calls to the program within a transaction. This would be similar to COBOL WORKING-STORAGE variables (as opposed to COBOL LOCAL-STORAGE variables that behave exactly like the temporary variables on the LE stack in the assembler programs) that are saved between different calls to the program under the same transaction instance while different transactions instances under CICS have there own copy of this storage. I don't know how to achieve this behaviout in a LE-compliant assembler module... I looked at PSECTs but I am not sure if this is the solution to this problem or how to use them in a mixed language environment (COBOL, PL/I and assembler). Can anybody give nme a clue how I can create and manage my 'instance-storage'?

Re: Is PSATOLD always zero when in SRB mode?
The answer is yes. But you might want to ask the converse question: If PSATOLD is zero, are you in SRB mode? The answer is not always. There is a small case in z/OS that we call pseudo-SRB mode where a task was running (had PSATOLD non-zero) and the system zeroes PSATOLD and continues for a while. This can happen in memory termination situations, for example. It is not a state that your program should see. PSATOLD = 0 works for all practical purposes.

Walter Marguccio z/OS Systems Programmer Munich - Germany Without knowing a whole lot more about your system, I really can't make a 'recommendation'. What I can do is give you several principles that might help you make a decision: 1) There is just a whole lot of important stuff in the system that relies on GRS working quickly (Catalog, Allocation, Open, Close, etc. all of which are the building blocks for getting user work done). 2) The longer you make important stuff wait, the more important stuff backs up behind it. 3) The longer your things wait, the more opportunity there is to create contention between them. 4) Response and or elapsed time are probably meaningful measurements for you. 5) Elongating and exacerbating 1, 2, and 3 negatively impact 4 So, if you accept those principles, then one would say that you should Render unto Caesar the things which are Caesars, that is, give GRS as much horsepower as you can afford to. It's clear that CPU utilization is a function of the 'total RESMIL' for the complex (since altering one impacts them all), so I'd spend a bit of time playing with different values, plotting total RESMIL vs. total (well, really, XCF+GRS) CPU to see how much you are willing to 'render'.

Re: LE-compliant assembler program with 'instance-storage'.
Why not use LE heap storage? Do a call to CEECRHP to create a heap, then call CEEGTST to allocate an element in the heap. Save the address of the element in one of the two LE-provided user fields (call CEE3USR). This heap storage is accessible by all programs in the run unit, and persists across subroutine calls. I know about CEE3USR but never really understood how one could safely use that field. After all, if I can come up with the idea to store my anchor in that field somebody else might do it too. And then one of us is in trouble. Probably both of us... Is there a 'best practice' for the use of this field...? It would be a convenient place to anchor an application-owned tree of control blocks if it wasn't for the risks described above... ad /ad I was waiting for that 8-) We are well aware of LE services: we use them a lot in COBOL and Assembler programs. We would be interested in other classes but are stationed in the Netherlands and could never fill a classroom.

Re: Sorting Hex Data - ISPF or Batch
In ISPF: If you have National Language Support, the order in which your data will be collated could depend on the status of your HEX mode. If your HEX mode status is ON, your data will be ordered according to its hexadecimal representation. If your HEX mode status is OFF, you are a National Language Support user and your installation has defined a special collating sequence table, your data will be ordered according to the sequence specified in the collating sequence table.

Beta TEST announcement of Version 3 of SyzAUTO
I apologize if you have already received the email on this, but Syzygy is announcing our BETA testing of the next version of SyzAUTO. I'll past the email below for those that did not receive it, and I'm sorry if the lines wrap: ***Beginning of email paste Dear Syzygy software client, Syzygy is proud to announce that a new BETA version of SyzAUTO, version 3 will soon be available. As a result of a large number of customer requests, an entirely new version of the industry's least expensive feature-rich System Command and JOB Automation product, SyzAUTO, will soon be ready to BETA test. We would like to offer you an invitation to participate in the upcoming beta test of SyzAUTO. This beta is limited to 150 sites, so if you are interested and have the time to spare, please send a return email or contact your site administrator so that we can add you to our beta testing team. Many new features are being designed into the new version of SyzAUTO. Some of the new facilities in SyzAUTO have been added to give SyzAUTO some of the same functionality that already exists in the SyzCmdZ system command scripting product and the SyzSPOOL Jes output offload product. Many clients that license one or more of the Syzygy suite of products (SyzSPOOL, SyzCmdZ and SyzAUTO), have requested that we make some of the features of those products available to them internally from other products in the SYZ-suite, and SyzAUTO is the first of the three SYZ-suite products to reflect those changes. The other products of the SYZ-suite will be entering Beta testing shortly. There are several interconnect capabilities that are being designed for the SYZ-suite products as well, but they are not listed below. This new version proposes to add the following new features over the current V2.00.f version of the SyzAUTO product: Internal commands are now supported with user defined command prefix (2 characters). New Job Scheduling capabilities, allows for tracking and final disposition (condition codes) of JOBs submitted for execution by SyzAUTO. Allow capability to EMAIL the results (Condition codes and MAX Condition Code) of JOBs submitted by SyzAUTO. EMAIL JOB or task failure information where applicable. System startup and overrides can be specified in PARMLIB or another dataset. New ++STATUS Internal Command, allows user to display the status of the product on the console. New ++STOP Internal Command, allows internal shutdown of product. New ++RESET Internal Command, allows the timer to be reset in case of changes to commands PDS, (restart no longer necessary). New ++PREFIX Internal Command, allows user customization of the default (++) prefix. New ability to set prefix and submit multiple JOBs or commands at startup along with the current initial command member. New ++SUBMIT Internal command to submit a JOB for execution without being required to know the SyzAUTO jobstep (no more F A,JOBNAME required). New ++CMD Internal Command to execute another command member (or timed member) without being required to know the SyzAUTO jobstep. New ++IF Internal commands allows for decision logic on whether a line is to be executed: ++IFSTARTED ; will only execute command following the ; if the specified task is currently in execution ++IFSTOPPED ; will only execute command following the ; if the specified task is NOT running ++IFLPAR ; will only execute command following the ; if SyzAUTO is executing on a certain LPAR (or System ID) New ++LPAR Internal command, allows command to be sent to another LPAR in the sysplex New ++REPLY Internal Command, preforms reply to any outstanding WTOR without knowing the REPLYID in advance, only the MSGID or text (or portion of) the message New ++WTO Internal command to issue message to the console or syslog New ++WTOH Internal command to issue a HIGHLIGHTED message to the console or syslog. New USER operations manual in HTML and PDF format. Many more features are also under development including a ISPF/PDF based interface to SyzAUTO. The BETA version manual is not yet available, but to download information on the current gold version of SyzAUTO (2.0.f), please link to: http://syzygyinc.net/Documents/SYZAUTO%20Product%20Manual%20V2-0-f.pdf If you would like to participate in the Beta test project for this new 3.0b version, please contact your project coordinator or reply back to this email. You must be registered with the SyzAUTO beta program by March 30, 2008 to participate. The current gold version of the SyzAUTO product (version z-2.00.f) will continue to be fully supported until January 18, 2009 as previously announced.
