zOS 1.9-USS dbx problems
We have a relatively complex application ( lot of C++, C- and ASM-routines, partially dynamically linked, partially static linked). We deliver only a xplink-version to our customers ( as recommended by IBM). 1.When trying to use debugging with Websphere as surface on PC, only the nonxplink-debug-version works. With the xplink-version we get a FDBX5024-message ( internal error occurred). With dbx only ( without remote-websphere) the above xplink-version can be loaded and started without any error. Little straightforward-programs ( even with some few small dlls) can be debugged even with the xplink-version flawlessly. 2. Trying to analyze a corefile ( dbx -C ) does not work. Got following messages( segmentation violation signal 11): ... ... .. FDBX6432: Processing load moFDBX0044: catchfault called with 11, pid=66414 dule /isis/stress.620/common/mu/lib/pcsdll05.so FDBX0089: dbx for z/OS with 64-bit support.

With no program ( not even with a little 'hello.world'-programm) a disassambly is possible with websphere. We tried a lot My questions: What do we wrong or what is wrong with our dbx ? Does anybody have similar experiences ? Does anybody eventually have any useful hints/tips, ideas .?

Re: Slightly off topic power limits

Re: ADRDSSU protection [was:RE: Using FTP to send loadlib]
Patrick O'Keefe pisze: [...] of the problem reminded me that I've recently been in the same situation but DID NOT have the problem. IBM sent a backup of some datasets in ADRDSSU format. I defintely do not have even READ access to the original dataset names in our security system (ACF2) or ADRDSSU ADMIN authority but had no trouble doing a ADRDSSU restore with rename. Could the problem be options used to either create or restore the backup? There is no wise reason to restrict access to ADRDSSU at all (in PROGRAM class). Really. There is a need to protect ADRDSSU *functions* or features. It can be usage of ADMIN keyword (a series of profiles STGADMIN.ADR.STGADMIN.function.minor). In the case above you could have access to STGADMIN.ADR.IMPORT, which is not unsecure IMHO. YMMV. BTW: the best way to protect backup is protection of backup dataset. If you can't open it, you cannot restore from it. Simple? However if you can open it, but ADRDSSU does not allow you to restore (i.e. because orginal dsnames are not for you), you still can use another tool to view the content. -- Radoslaw Skorupka Lodz, Poland -- BRE Bank SA ul.

Re: Implications of not having CMF or RMF - Urgent
As far as I am aware, there is no other software apart from CMF that emulates the RMF SMF record cutting and ERBSMFI interface. The knowledge requried amd code complexity to write and support such a tool and make it compatable would probably cause the license cost to be around the same as RMF/CMF anyway. Without RMF/CMF, there are probably reporting capabilities in some other ISV monitor products that might get you some results - however I would not be surprised if some of those tools did not depend on RMF records (or ERBSMFI calls) to gather certain measurements - and the cost of the ISV monitors would probably exceed that of RMF/CMF anyway.

Re: replacement for proc pds rename function...
Yes, that and TSO RENAME also works, but I think the OP is looking for something with wildcard capabilities. For example rather than code PROC1 PROC2 PROC3 and ignore TPROC1 APROC1 etc, the OP has coded PROC PDS DDNAME=RENLIB01; CHANGE YYY:=XXX:; Which is SAS-speak for Change all PROCs that being with YYY to XXX and the trailing characters should be left as is. If you want to rename a member or members of the PDS, use the CHANGE statement. Specify the old name on the left side of the equal sign, and specify the new name on the right.

Re: TEPS and TEMS
All,
Thanks for the responses.
The two TEMS are both hub TEMS.
It turns out that the TEMS on the LPAR I was trying to connect to started
before TCPIP, which is why I couldn't connect to it.
I've bounced the TEMS on z/OS, and the TEPS on my PC.
Now, when I try to start the TEPS client, I get prompted for a userid amp;
password.
I enter SYSADMIN ('cos that's all that exists at the moment) and the correct
password, (that I set when installing TEPS) and I get the following messages
in the TEMS RKLVLOG:-
KDSPA002 Logon validation did not complete. Password not valid. User
sysadmin
The manual very helpfully (not) says:-
You tried to log onto the Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server (TEMS) data
collection server, but the password supplied for the user ID is not valid.
I AM entering the VALID password for sysadmin. What's happening here?
TIA

Re: replacement for proc pds rename function...
Yes, the only problem with IEHPROGM is that you have to use the Vol keyword, and know where the data set is. You can't use the Catalog to find the file. In Jol, the syntax of the Rename instruction is: Rename old-dsname new-dsname [ALIAS] [VOL volume UNIT unit] ; Examples 1. Rename 'sys1.proclib(TestProg)' (newprog); 2.

Re: FTP-TLS/SSL
Kurt, I don't think how you describe the certificates in this context
is quite correct.
Brian, thanks for clarifying. My apologies for not being clear and
obviously responding too quickly. My response was in the context of a
z/OS FTP client ('cuz that's where my experience is), not a z/OS server,
although I did not state that (and I should have).
A *server* certificate is required, not a CA one. The CA one is used
by the client, to validate the server certificate. However, the server
certificate *may* be self-signed rather than CA-signed.
You're right, the server certificate may be CA-signed or self-signed.
If CA-signed, then the client needs in the keyring the CA certificate
used to sign the server's certificate. If self-signed, then the client
needs the server's certificate in the keyring.
The keyring statement below also does not need the userid/ part if
the keyring is owned by the userid under which the FTP server is running,
and again, the comment 'CA certificate' is not correct, it is the
*server* certificate.
Unless you definitely want to encrypt every single file, and there
are perfectly good reasons why you may not want to, you should leave the
SECURE_DATACONN value as CLEAR rather than PRIVATE, and let the client
decide control it.
The FTP.DATA statements in my post are only those that I use (and I did
state that) for a z/OS FTP client. I figured the OP can read about 'em
and determine which he requires or desires.

Re: relationship between directory blocks and the number of members in a PDS ?
Here's another fun fact: You can print or copy a PDS' directory directly with IEBGENER by overriding the library's DCB parameters. For instance, the following JCL: //IEBGENER JOB (ACCT),'REPEAT MISTAKES ' //COPY1 EXEC PGM=IEBGENER,REGION=3072K,TIME=60 //SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=* //SYSUT1DD DSN=THIS.IS.A.PDS,DISP=SHR, // DCB=(LRECL=256,BLKSIZE=256,RECFM=F) //SYSUT2DD SYSOUT=* //SYSIN DD DUMMY Will print the directory. Maybe not entirely useful, but it will entertain the curious and allow you to count the number of entries per directory block.

Re: relationship between directory blocks and the number of members in a PDS ?
I do not have numbers for PDS/E datasets and Directory Blocks. PDS/E is not as important, since you don't run out. With PDS's, I usually allocate in multiples of 44, since that's how many directory blocks fit on a track.

Re: Implications of not having CMF or RMF - Urgent
-snip- Due to licensing cost cutting my client is considering removing CMF. Also he is not ready to go for RMF software. Would like to know is there any third party tool which generates Type 70-79 records as being generated by these tools. We are running SYSPLEX. Without these tools is there any other way by which we can get LPAR / Partition / Coupling Facility LPAR wise CPU MSU / MIPS report for every 15 min. interval ? --unsnip- Ever tried riding a bike without wheels? I know of no software, other than the items you mention, that will generate the appropriate SMF records with anything like the wealth of information therein. You may find, however, that RMF is less expensive than CMF and safer to run. (If your CMF maintenance isn't exactly in step with your z/OS maintenance, you could be at considerable risk because of all the dynamic hooks CMF uses. BTDTGTSS) Without some flavor of monitoring software, your client is flying blind, without a compass or a map. Point out to your client that monitoring software can help pinpoint bottlenecks that can be eliminated by tuning, as opposed to just throwing money into upgrades. And good tuning in general can postpone upgrade expenditures. And when upgrades are indicated, good monitoring can point the way to realistic and COST EFFECTIVE upgrades.

Enterprise COBOL code generation question
I am failing to understand something about the code generation that the Enterprise COBOL compiler (V3.4.1) performs. For a WORKING-STORAGE variable defined like this: 77 WORK-WORD9 PIC S9(09) BINARY. with TRUNC(BIN) and OPTIMIZE(STD) in effect, this IF statement: IF (WORK-WORD9 -1) OR (WORK-WORD9 +256) Generates a bunch of code to convert WORK-WORD9 to packed decimal in temporary storage (and it does it *twice* no less!) to then do compare-packed for each of the literal values. How or why is it that the compiler does not just use binary constants for such a pair of comparisons? It just does not make any sense to me for the compiler to convert a fullword binary variable to packed in this case, and to do it twice for goodness sake. And secondly, if it really *has* to do the conversion, doesn't the optimizer realize it already did it already? The description of OPTIMIZE(FULL) doesn't sound like it will help here, though I will try it. OPTIMIZE(FULL) says it eliminates unreferenced WORKING-STORAGE but says nothing about better code optimization.

Re: replacement for proc pds rename function...
From: stars...@mindspring.com I think the OP is looking for something with wildcard capabilities. For example rather than code PROC1 PROC2 PROC3 and ignore TPROC1 APROC1 etc, the OP has coded PROC PDS DDNAME=RENLIB01; CHANGE YYY:=XXX:; Which is SAS-speak for Change all PROCs that being with YYY to XXX and the trailing characters should be left as is. If you're okay with writing a small REXX script to describe what you want renamed, you can use SimpList to apply the script to every member in a PDS. Here's an example that's straight from the SimpList user guide: /* REXX to rename all members from 'xx08' to 'xx09' */ arg input parse var input dsn ( memb ) . if substr(memb,3,2) = 08 then do slusrcmd = R slusrdat = overlay(09,memb,3) address ispexec VPUT (SLUSRCMD SLUSRDAT) SHARED end SLUSRCMD tells SimpList what function to reselect the member with after the REXX script has finished (in this case R for Rename), and SLUSRDAT tells SimpList what to rename the member to. To apply this script to every member in a PDS you'd simply enter '1 *' on the member list command line. If necessary you could filter the member list before applying the script; e.g. you could include or exclude members based on their names, contents, ISPF statistics (etc). For example, if I wanted to exclude every member that contained the word IDENTIFICATION before doing the rename, I'd enter 'HIDE IDENTIFICATION ALL' and then enter '1 *'. SimpList isn't free but at $5,000 a year (for unlimited use by unlimited people) I'm sure it's a lot less than what you're currently paying for SAS? If you only need to do the renames one time you could even take SimpList for a free trial, do the renames, and hand it back.

Re: Enterprise COBOL code generation question
Farley, Peter x23353 wrote: I am failing to understand something about the code generation that the Enterprise COBOL compiler (V3.4.1) performs. For a WORKING-STORAGE variable defined like this: 77 WORK-WORD9 PIC S9(09) BINARY. with TRUNC(BIN) and OPTIMIZE(STD) in effect, this IF statement: IF (WORK-WORD9 -1) OR (WORK-WORD9 +256) Generates a bunch of code to convert WORK-WORD9 to packed decimal in temporary storage (and it does it *twice* no less!) to then do compare-packed for each of the literal values. How or why is it that the compiler does not just use binary constants for such a pair of comparisons? It just does not make any sense to me for the compiler to convert a fullword binary variable to packed in this case, and to do it twice for goodness sake. And secondly, if it really *has* to do the conversion, doesn't the optimizer realize it already did it already? The description of OPTIMIZE(FULL) doesn't sound like it will help here, though I will try it. OPTIMIZE(FULL) says it eliminates unreferenced WORKING-STORAGE but says nothing about better code optimization. Confused, Peter Peter, I can't speak with authority, since the details are hidden and, to some degree, proprietary. But I once learned that when working with pic s9(9) binary data, the compiler converts to packed to avoid or intercept overflows.

Don and responding contributors Maybe I'm being grossly old-fashioned - and I am certainly grossly out- of-date regarding MVS Utilities - but I believe when I wanted to create a batch job[1] in order to rename the member of a partitioned data set, procedure members in procedure libraries included, I used the entirely free - sorry, at no extra cost from IBM - utility IEHPROGM. The appropriate example - found quickly by searching for rename on the Contents web page of the z/OS DFSMSdfp Utilities (SC26-7414-04) manual (to be found in the z/OS V1R10 DFSMS bookshelf): http://publibz.boulder.ibm.com/cgi-bin/bookmgr_OS390/BOOKS/DGT2U130 Specifically 14.5.7 Example 7: Rename a Partitioned Data Set Member. quote //REN JOB ... //STEP1EXEC PGM=IEHPROGM //SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=A //DD1 DD VOL=SER=22,DISP=OLD,UNIT=disk //SYSINDD * RENAME VOL=disk=22,DSNAME=DATASET,NEWNAME=BC,MEMBER=ABC /* /quote In effect, all the suggestions would appear to be *replacements* for the original IBM IEHPROGM utility which I am prepared to bet predates the programs named in these suggestions - and SAS - by many blue moons. Is there some subtlety I missed here caused by my long neglect of the use of MVS Utilities - or have so many alternatives cropped up in the good times packaged with must-have products that folk have forgotten about the original at no extra cost utilities? Chris Mason [1] With the aid of a little program which converted PARM field data into utility input control data sets - among other uses - and a little program which displayed the contents of the utility output print data set on the console wrapped up in handy started task procedures, I set up many frequently used functions - even incorporating some into automation - which relied on absolutely standard MVS utilities such as IEHPROGM.

But I once learned that when working with pic s9(9) binary data, the compiler converts to packed to avoid or intercept overflows. The simplest fix / workaround is to declare these fields as s9(8) binary. Give that a try and see if it works better. Tried that, and got the same results. Also tried using constant variables defined the same way as the variable to be tested (both S9(9) and S9(8) versions) and that is even worse -- BOTH the variable AND the constant variables are converted to packed and then compared with CP. Another lister wrote me offline to say that Enterprise COBOL may be following the standard in this bizarreness, but when I have TRUNC(BIN) in effect, doesn't that tell the compiler I want something *different* from the standard? Try TRUNC(OPT). Trunc STD would require the conversion to decimal to guarantee that the data fit the picture. TRUNC(BIN) is known and documented to generate less than optimal code. Bah, humbug. Lazy compiler writers ought to be taken out and ... well, you get the idea.

From half a page of code to six instructions. I will have to test this program with TRUNC(OPT) pretty carefully to make sure it has no other adverse affects. The doc on OPT is pretty clear in its warnings. And the doc on TRUNC(BIN) does have the phrase ... you can avoid the performance overhead of using TRUNC(BIN) ..., implying there is, in fact, a performance penalty for using it. Thanks for pointing out the benefit of TRUNC(OPT) to me.

Re: C/C++ for MVS: How do I read the master catalog?
Thanks Kirk, It was just what I was looking for. Best regards, Cristi Terpea We offer a free shell command in the Co:Z Toolkit called catsearch which is wrapper around IGGCSI00 (and OBTAIN for reading the associated Fmt1 DSCB). It is written mostly in C++, but has a little assembler in it. It would be pretty easy to call this command from C/C++. see: http://dovetail.com/docs/coz/dsp-ref_catsearch.html Kirk Wolf Dovetailed Technologies On Thu, Apr 30, 2009 at 3:36 PM, Cristi Terpea cristi.ter...@fortech.ro wrote: I'm trying to get the same output as ls '*' from z/OS FTPD. I think this can be done by reading the master catalog. Until now I found no way to open it from C. I found out that the master catalog path is in SYS1.NUCLEUS(SYSCATLG). It says: S6SYS1113CCATALOG.Z16S.MASTER So, my master catalog is CATALOG.Z16S.MASTER. I thought I could be able to open it with fopen, but it doesn't work. IBMUSER:/u/ibmuser: uname -a OS/390 ADCD 16.00 03 9121 On experts-exchange someone said: you should be able to use IGGCSI00, which is a IBM supplied Catalog Search routine. This is typically called from Assemble or REXX (there are samples in SYS1.SAMPLIB with member names IGGCSIxx). However according to the manual you can call IGGCSI00 from a higher level language as long as the higher level language invokes IGGCSI00 using an assember language CALL with V-type address, LINK, or LOAD and CALL. I don't know how to do that in C.
