Re: Downloading IBM manuals
What about using the r10pdf.htm provided by IBM ? Just modifying the source (replacing http:// etc by the real path on the directory ) For years we have been copying the CD content with its html index onto a HFS on 3390 and using SMB to put it online. This way there is one single copy and you can access from any desktop PC in your shop or even via VPN from outside if you are called at night. When new books are coming you just do a copy/paste from the PC where the download took place.(not even needed to FTP) Of course the HFS on z/OS is 755 protected and available for write to only a pair of users. You can use the same DASD for your lookat book format libraries and your pdf books. after all we are the masters of centralised data processing :-)) ( the best thing about all that is to always have access to your books from any location in your company and use the same index pointing to the books).

Re: BDAM vs VSAM
BDAM is obsolete technology. It is still supported, but fading / moribound / whatever name you choose. It has some shortcomings and the list will grow up. From the other hand there is no planned date of BDAM end of life, and ISAM example shows that such notice period will be counted in years.

Re: PDSE Load Module Format?
Paul is right that the lack of documentation is hostile to cross-linking; that's why our cross-linker only provides support for building old style load modules (in a TSO transmit file.) And, we have mentioned this particular impediment to IBM at almost every possible moment. But - we do have facilities in our pre-linker that allow SMP/E to go ahead.

2009/4/15 Paul Gilmartin paulgboul...@aim.com: There are APIs for extracting information from program objects. It is my understanding that AMBLIST uses those APIs rather than parsing program objects itself. (Will AMBLIST process program objects in Unix files?) Yes, AMBLIST works fine on POs in UNIX files. There were some early problems, such as high CPU consumption (a loop?) back a few releases ago, but generally it is quite usable now. Superzap (AMASPZAP) also works on POs by calling the Binder API. It is a little odd to see an IEW message from AMASPZAP, but you can get one. The proprietary status of Program Management information is an impediment to ISVs supplying cross compilers. For example, IBM's C compiler avoids any need for a prelinker by using undocumented Program Management facilities. I'm not sure this is correct. I believe the Binder API contains sufficient function to generate a Program Object from input formats that are documented, and/or from existing POs. I admit I haven't tried that, but I have used the API to retrieve a lot of detailed info from POs, Load Modules, and Object Modules. It's complex, and clunky in places, but it does work. I have even managed to call it directly from REXX, though that just scrapes through by good luck, and can't be used for all API calls. AFAIK, all C compilers from ISVs require a prelinker step which, in turn, is highly hostile to processing performed by SMP/E. Certainly it is, but I'm not sure why compilers need such a step.

Re: Batch E-Mail
Mark - it sounds like perhaps the mime headers may not be setup properly to be received by IBM. When I was developing XMITIP I ran into several issues with file attachments arriving as inline until I discovered something (long lost in the cobwebs). A suggestion - get a copy of xmitip (http://www.lbdsoftware.com) and use it in 'debug' mode (use keyword debug) and it will generate a report of all the appropriate smtp statements. You can then use that to compare to what you are generating and update your code if you detect a mismatch. hope this helps Lionel B.

Advanced(?) DFSORT question.
I want to do something kind of weird and I'm wondering if DFSORT can do it for me. I have a file where each record has three fields. Field 1 is the z/OS SYSID. Field 2 is a TOD value. Field 3 is a number. The SYSID field can only contain one of two values (C'DEV1' or C'LIH1'). I want my output file to have 5 fields. Field 1 will be the TOD field, converted to a printable date (DC1) and time (TC1). Field 2 is C'LIH1'. Field 3 is the value of the number for the TOD for C'LIH1'. Field 4 is C'DEV1'. Field 5 is the value of the number for the TOD for C'DEV1'. Field 6 is the sum of output fields 3 and 5. Would the DFSORT control card below do what I want? * FIELD 1 IS 1,4,CH (SYSID) * FIELD 2 IS 5,8,BI (TOD) * FIELD 3 IS 13,5,ZD (NUMBER) SORT FIELDS=(1,11,CH,A) SORT ON DATE+HOUR INREC IFTHEN=(WHEN=(1,4,CH,EQ,C'LIH1'), BUILD=(5,8,DC1,C' ',5,8,TC1,C'|', C'LIH1|',13,5, C'|DEV1|',C'0|0')), IFTHEN=(WHEN=(1,4,CH,EQ,C'DEV1'), BUILD=(5,8,DC,C' ',5,8,TC1,C'|', C'LIH1|',C'0', C'|DEV1|',13,5,C'|0')) SUM FIELDS=(22,5,ZD,33,5,ZD) OUTREC OVERLAY=(39:22,5,ZD,ADD,33,5,ZD) Please excuse any column errors.

Re: IBM Journals availability
Agreed this is not good. It speaks to pressure against all corners of the business to produce revenue without thought to benefits to IBM and it's customers that are harder to quantify. It is short sighted and I would wager that many inside IBM would not view it as the best way to leverage this crown jewel. A pittance in subscribed revenue is nothing compared to goodwill and a channel to communicate directly to those bright and interested who consume the Journal outside IBM. IT Architects, Industry Analysts, Government researchers, key customer personnel. What a great opportunity squandered for a little bit of money. Will Redbooks be next? IBM has provided a huge benefit to both customers and the community at large by providing open access. It is truly regrettable they chose not to continue this. I was so excited when they scanned and made back issues of the Journal available including my favorite issue ever Vol 1 No 1 1989 the MVS/ESA issue of IBM Systems Journal.

Re: problem in using a new page segment
The Overlay load library does not have to be in the library list for a formdef compile. In fact you don't have to recompile the formdef to use a new overlay as long as the name of the overlay has not changed. If you are using PSF on z/OS then it pulls all resources together before sending the print job to the printer. If you are printing from a server using software like InfoPrint/Windows then it gathers the resources together. The question is where does the server get those resources. If it gets them from the server itself, then how is the resource downloaded from z/OS to the server. We use PSF Download to send our reports to InfoPrint/Windows. Our version of PSF Download does not download the resources with the report so we have a procedure that periodically downloads all PSF resources from z/OS to the InfoPrint/Windows server using FTP.

New Redpaper: Multiple z/OS Virtual Machines on z/VM
Cross-posted to IBMVM and IBM-MAIN for the z/OS and z/VM enthusiasts A new IBM Redpaper is available: Multiple z/OS Virtual Machines on z/VM http://www.redbooks.ibm.com/redpieces/abstracts/redp4507.html IBM authors: Alan Kline, John Kapernick, Romney White, and Reed Mullen Abstract: This IBM Redpaper describes some of the possible ways to configure a z/VM system and a set of z/OS virtual machines for use in testing z/OS-based tools and products. By supplying each tester with their own virtual machine, one tester has little or no impact on others. This material is based on 15 years of experience in operating a z/OS test environment on z/VM for developing and testing z/OS middleware in IBM. Our current environment includes three z/VM LPARs on two different processors, hosting over 300 z/OS images and eight Linux images. While we have a large DASD pool, we maintain a set of releases dating back to OS/390 Release 10 for service needs, plus a large development environment. As a result, we have implemented an environment where we share as much DASD and as many datasets as possible, while providing sufficient private space for individual development and test needs and a reasonable amount of protection against shared DASD being altered accidentally. - Enjoy.

On Wed, 15 Apr 2009 12:53:11 -0400, Tony Harminc wrote: AFAIK, all C compilers from ISVs require a prelinker step which, in turn, is highly hostile to processing performed by SMP/E. Certainly it is, but I'm not sure why compilers need such a step. Can you give an example? A reentrant and refreshable program needs to obtain writeable storage and may need to move an initializing prototype into that storage. C allows the initializing prototype to be defined in a translation unit other than the one containing the main entry point, and expects that initialization to have been performed when the main entry point gets control. A preprocessor is needed to move the initializing code (GETMAIN; MVCL) from that other translation unit to the one containing the main entry point. I suspect (and Dave Rivers seems to confirm) that there are undocumented facilities in Binder to facilitate this; in effect a built-in preprocessor. -- gil -- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@bama.ua.edu with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html

Re: XMITIP Socket failure (was: Batch E-Mail)
I rarely (like twice now) do batch executions of XMITIP but I just tried a batch execution of XMITIP 09.03 and got no errors. Can you post a copy of the IVP (with enough stuff munged to satisfy your minders)?

Re: mainframe software
A little more information would be helpful. Are you interested in learning how to write JCL, or something else? For CICS, are you interested in installation? Operations? Programming? In what language(s)?

Re: Fw: INFOPAC
We just resolved a similar issue with Infopac-JCL dumping with S0C4's while testing on z/OS 1.10 lpar. I too opened a pmr with IBM and ASG. And after MUCH research we found that the Infopac code was not clearing GETMAIN'd storage before using it, which caused the dump. I also found APAR OA2791 which described it very clearly as an undocumented change to the GETMAIN macro. The APAR offers a new DIAGnn option to bypass the new feature. I was able to get the Mobius developer at ASG to offer a zap which cleared the storage and thus, resolved our problem. It sounds like you may be affected by the same issue. Hope this helps, Kem King -- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@bama.ua.edu with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
