Re: TCPIP Segmentation Offload
John, /quote/ We enabled SEGMENTATIONOFFLOAD on the sandbox (z/OS 1.9) yesterday, but there's very little TCPIP load on the sandbox (still doing IVP of 1.9, and post-installation cleanup). Maybe we can cobble up something that should stress it to the breaking point (maybe FTP-ing some SMF offload datasets or sysdumps?). /quote/ We have a load of about 10% on the OSA's and still the segmentation offload managed to crash both shared osa's and managed to make most production-hosts unreachable. Of course this happened during the night in my standby week. :/ I wont activate it until I'm convinced that the risk of the same problems occuring is very very very small. -- Maarten Slegtenhorst - ATTENTION: The information in this electronic mail message is private and confidential, and only intended for the addressee.

1RE: Enhanced JCL processor - Jol - Open Source
Clement It's been a while. I suggest you use standard GPL license and put the source for JOL on www.sourceforge.net like I have done with z390.sourceforge.net. I've added new z390 enhancement RPI 858 to add JOL. Currently z390 uses simple BAT command processor behind the scenes for both Windows and Linux GUI interface as well as command line interface. DDNAME processing is done using enviroment variables on both Windows and Linux. All the pending RPI's for z390 are listed here and its updated almost every day: http://z390.sourceforge.net/z390_Support_Request_Log.htm Once you have released JOL and time permits I';; try assembling it on z390 and see how it goes. IT sounds very useful. Don Higgins [EMAIL PROTECTED] The JCL Enhancement/Replacement language Jol is now Open Source.

Re: RDz
Hello Brian, Again thanks for the info - you seem to be well aware of this RDz so I'll try my luck again. I don't expect RDz to create VSAM KSDS files for me. My old COBOL/CICS came with Pervasive's bTrieve into which I fed sequential files and out came emulated VSAM KSDS's and my COBOL/CICS programs successfully accessed them. Am hoping to hear that RDz does something like this . . I thought I had read (but can't find now) that there was a VSAM File Manager 'thing'. Is clear that with PC DB2 V9 such access is possible. Might you know about this? I am at my cottage for the next three months, 1000km from my home, high speed access and the retailer who sells me laptops from time to time (. . and there if troubles). So getting another laptop with the kind of capabilities you suggest is not that simple. Dialup speed at the cottage also probibits much. So a) having an appropriate computer, b) being able to download the 60 day trial are problems. The local one room library has a Vista Compaq with .5 meg of RAM - they will find your comments about RAM/Vista/speed very interesting. It has 'high-speed' capability via what I don't know yet. But when I tried to download OpenOffice the time window said it would take three hours. I called my retailer and he said it should be 3-10 minutes! So this is their 'high-speed' - am looking into it. What's crossing my mind is a) make sure RDz does what I want, b) buy the CD media pack, c) load in onto my average PC, d) plan on not using the IDE (guessing this to be the hog and not why I need RDz), e) build the permanent solution when I get home. Did I burden you or what:-))). Have you got RDz on a PC?

RDz
Graham, Given the recent discussions on advertizing and the fact that I *used* to (a decade ago) work for a 3rd party, what I would like to say, is hard for me to phrase politically correctly. First, let me say that from what I have heard RDz would do what you want - but DOES require an upgrade to your laptop. If you get to the stage that you either upgrade or have access to a private computer for the 60 day trial, it sure sounds worth it. Having said that, there are 3rd party solutions that I think would do what you want on your current laptop. Like RDz, they aren't cheap. However, they do have COBOL and CICS (IBM mainframe compatible) solutions - and certainly do share the same VSAM-like files. If it is needed, S/390 Assembler is also available. If you would like me to be less obscure and if no one else jumps in with web page references or product names, please feel free to contact me off-list. wmklein at ix.netcom.com (trials of 3rd party products are also often available) P.S. It is my impression that it is NOT the Eclipse IDE (alone) cause the memory needs of RDz). Graham Hobbs [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote in message news:[EMAIL PROTECTED]...

Re: RDz
Hi, If you send me your address off line, I'll download the RDz files for the trial and send them to you. I have a T1, so it will only take a very short amount of time to download. I can DHL them to you and you can have them the next day, or USPS Priority Mail in 2 days. The files in total appear to be about 6.98GB so they will fit on one Double layer DVD or two regular ones, whichever you prefer. Do you have access to a mainframe (or z/os under Hercules) to be able to install the operating system side of things? Also, you can access a DB/2 platform (if you have one), and you do have access via file manager to VSAM files as well, I had to look at the product specs to be sure.
