Re: Language Environment runtime options and system dumps
My 2 cent: Short recap of RTM and E/SPIE: LE works best with TRAP(ON,SPIE). That means it is allowed to set an E/SPIE routine that masks program checks. An LE-enabled program suffers a PICx that is covered by an E/SPIE. Program check (I believe) FLIH checks for an ESPIE to be set for that particular PIC and gives control to that ESPIE routine. Note that neither SLIP nor RTM1 have gotten control yet. The LE ESPIE routine does it's thing basically bypassing RTM. It also writes the LE (formatted) dump if instructed to do so by the LE options. Then the routine re-issues the abend, converted to a 4039 with a number. At this point LE has done cleanup, so slip trapping on the re-issued abend is useless. TRAP(OFF,NOSPIE) will not necessarily get you a system dump. That dump would only be written if a recovery routine (FRR, ESTAE) requests it. However I still don't understand why I'm getting a U4039 abend when the manual specifically states that I should get a dump of the original abend with UAIMM. *if* and *only if* the 'original abend' has a recovery routine that would request a dump. In all other cases LE still has its fingers in the pie and will issue the 4039. After the 'original abend' recovery routine has written its dump, the 'other' - LE - processing is still done. I have a SYSUDUMP in the jcl SYSUDUMP dd will tell sdump (when called from the recovery routine) to issue just that, a sysudump instead of a 'real' dump. I have put a ban on sysudump here :-) best regards, Barbara -- GMX FreeDSL Komplettanschluss mit DSL 6.000 Flatrate und Telefonanschluss für nur 17,95 Euro/mtl.!* http://portal.gmx.net/de/go/dsl02 -- 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: Replacing channel attached IBM 6262 printer
You may also wish to ask for printing recommendations on the VSE-L list. I'm guessing that your customer has a 6262-014 or 6262-022 printer. Those are channel-attached line printers (using band printer technology). One immediate question is what sort of printed output does your customer want? (Or indeed, do they want printed output at all? Do they want to print, forward, and archive output electronically, using PDFs for example?) Anyway, here are several options -- and there may be others depending on the answer(s) to those questions. In no particular order: 1. You can still find 6262 printers available on the secondary market. If your customer loves their 6262, that might be an option. 2. The InfoPrint Solutions Company has some channel-attached printers available for sale. Nowadays channel-attached printers tend to be very high speed and probably overkill in this case. But if your customer is looking for a serious upgrade in print speed, you can get more information here: http://www.infoprintsolutionscompany.com The models 3000, 4000, and 4100 support channel attachment. Océ also offers some channel-attached printers (e.g. their Pagestream 154 model), and perhaps other companies do as well. 3. You didn't mention if your customer has the CSI/IBM TCP/IP for VSE or the Barnard TCP/IP for VSE product. (There are at least two TCP/IP implementations for VSE.) If the former, a standard base function available is AUTOLPR. AUTOLPR can automatically route POWER queue jobs to any standard network printer or print queue that supports LPD-style network printing. (That's pretty much everything.) On its own your customer won't get complex printer transforms -- AUTOLPR is really for basic line printing -- but it should get the job done in terms of output formatting similar to what the 6262 printer provided. (This assumes that you're sending the output to a printer that accepts relatively straightforward line printing. Most do, such as PCL laser printers and typical dot matrix printers.) And you can also customize AUTOLPR fairly well, to add cover pages for example. You can find more information on AUTOLPR in the IBM TCP/IP for VSE V1.5 User's Guide here: http://publibz.boulder.ibm.com/epubs/pdf/iestpu01.pdf There is also a direct analog to AUTOLPR called AUTOEMAIL. AUTOEMAIL takes the output and e-mails it, which is the most basic form of electronic output distribution. 4. PSF/VSE (5686-040) is available from IBM, of course. 5. CSI offers a product called GPS (General Print Server): http://www.tcpip4vse.com/products/zvse/GPS/GPS.htm This product intercepts 3287 printer output (VTAM), formats it, and routes it via HP JetDirect (IP sockets protocol) or LPR/LPD protocol to a network-attached printer. GPS is an optional feature for CSI/IBM TCP/IP for VSE. If your customer has CSI/IBM TCP/IP for VSE, your customer can license GPS either from IBM or CSI. 6. Thigpen Enterprises (via Barnard Software) offers VSE2PDF: http://www.vse2pdf.com This product converts VSE print jobs into PDF files, then (typically) e-mails them to recipients. It is a somewhat more advanced form of electronic output distribution than AUTOEMAIL. There are some other options as well, but I'll stop there for now pending more questions and information.

We wanted to try moving from MIM to GRS also. Dennis I run MIM/Integrity and GRS=nn. We need the ECMF and EDIF functionality without the global ENQ. We do this by having a PARM member with MIMINIT GDIF=OFF That leaves MIMIT up without the Gloabal ENQ. You might want to try that and see if it helps, -- John McKown We want to stop and remove MIM entirely. Kees. I wonder if you bring up MIMIT with EDIF=OFF, will it remove the exits you mentioned in GRS? If so, then you could just stop MIMIT after its initialization has removed the exits. But I don't kown if that will work or not. Can you try? -- I think we already have the trick working and it is not as complicated as it seemed. More news by the end of the week (probably). Kees. Well, we found the working procedure and it was not as simple as we thought, but well doable. Chronology: We stopped MIM and did the first conversion and we received: ISG881I SET GRSRNL COMMAND CANCELED. AN ISGNQXITBATCH OR AN ISGNQXITBATCHCND EXIT IS CURRENTLY ACTIVE. The active exits were from the GRS ENQmonitor (modname ISGASTUB) on Exit ISGNQXITBATCH and the 2 MIM exits on Exit ISGNQXITBATC. Information from IBM told us that the MIM exits were no problem and needed not be removed. However this did not work, after stopping the GRS Enqmonitor (which removed its exit) we again received ISG881I, so now for the MIM exits only. We already discovered that the MIM command character was used for several purposes in MIM, a.o. for creating the name of the MIM SSI subsystem en for custructing the ISG exit names (for what purpose, can I have 2 MIM's in 1 system?). We then changed the MIM command character and reIPL'd the system. We checked that the GRS Enqmonitor was stopped, stopped MIM and tried the conversion again and again received ISG881I, complaining only about the 2 MIM exits. Then we also DELeted the MIM Exits (SETPROG EXIT,DELETE,EN=ISGNQXITBATCHCND,MOD=) and retried the conversion and then it succeeded. We ran this testsystem for the rest of the day and did not notice problems caused by dynamically DELete-ing the MIM exits. So the trick is to have no exits on the above mentioned GRS exits and to achieve that, you must create standardized MIM exit names by choosing a alphanumeric or national command character or, as we did, choose something like MIM. This action is now planned for the production sysplex at the end of this month. If new information comes up then, I will let you know here.

Re: Language Environment runtime options and system dumps
I thought I have been able to use SLIP to trap an abend before LE messed with it. Is it true that ESPIE will block a SLIP C=0Cx? As far as I know, it depends on which x's the ESPIE has masked. The interruptions parm on the ESPIE set lets you specify all or selected x's. And then it depends on what the ESPIE routine does with the interrupt. If all it does is give control back 'to the system', then slip might match. But if interrupt 1 is masked, and the ESPIE routine does something with it, a slip on 0c1 will not match, simply because slip doesn't get control. That has always been the crux of LE, as far as I am concerned. But if I'm wrong, someone will chime in.

Next, just in case, I'd try to unload the input dataset to sequential and ensure that the input doesn't have any hidden flaws that throw DFDSS a curveball. This would also give you a source of data to create a new DA dataset on 3390 from. Finally, another thought ... does the DFDSS COPY require that the output dataset on 3390 be allocated to the same physical cylinder and track location that it's on the old 3380?

Changing VTAM TRLE for OSA adapter

Re: Tape retention question
Or have your tape copy utility copy to virtual tape. As the background tape media changes, the files automatically move to the new media.

There is also the concern about do you have the devices needed to read the tapes after xx years? For example, I know some shops still have a rack of 3420 round reels. They haven't had a 3420 device for the past 10 years; but still have a rack of round reels. Even if they had a 3420 device, do you think they could still read the data off the tape. You state that from a capacity standpoint it is not practical to keep 99365 files forever. Here I must disagree with you. There are many tape-copy/stacking utilities out there, some for a specific tape management system and some more generic. But they all do basically the same thing; copy and stack data while updating the tape management system to reflect the original creation information (jobname, date, etc..). Also, the capacity of cartridges has gotten very-very large. Now, most shops would never think about putting 1-TB of HSM archive data onto a single tape (the single-threading of recalls would be a huge delay); but for long term retention they are great. You stack a couple of hundred/thousand 3480/3490 datasets onto two cartridges (always have a backup when the basket is that large) and you can set it on the shelf for 5-10 years. Then, take it off the shelf and copy it to the new latest/greatest cartridge type (what, 1-Pb by then I imagine). The real trick is to move the media forward at least every 5-10 years for the old data AND to stack these long-term files together to cut down on the media costs. The cost of a couple of high-capacity cartridges and letting them sit on a shelf is minor. Of course the cost of the device is high, but you would be upgrading at least every 5-10 years anyway. Just some other options to consider.

Re: Changing VTAM TRLE for OSA adapter
Neal This is what the error code X'8010302C' means, found by precisely following the explanation of the EZZ4310I message: X'80' Permanent error Explanation: Request rejected due to failure of either a system or network function. X'10' LLC layer local error Explanation: A primitive was processed and an error was found by the local VTAM. X'302C' Enable Incoming connections for Port failed Explanation: A QDIO device rejected an attempt to allow connections to be enabled on this device. I was going to ask What is your reason for suspecting that the port name is incorrect? but then I Googled 8010302c and came up with the following as the first hit: quote TCP/IP message EZZ4310I CODE 8010302C when starting OSA QDIO device Problem(Abstract) The following error appears when starting TCP/IP QDIO (OSA) device: EZZ0060I PROCESSING COMMAND: VARY TCPIP,,START,OSAD900 EZZ0053I COMMAND VARY START COMPLETED SUCCESSFULLY EZZ4310I ERROR: CODE=8010302C REPORTED ON DEVICE OSAD900. DIAGNOSTIC CODE: xx Cause This error occurs when there is a mismatch in VTAM and TCP/IP definitions. The device_name specified in the TCP/IP DEVICE and LINK statements must match the PORTNAME specified in the VTAM TRLE statement for the OSA- Express QDIO PORT. Also, all LPARs using the OSA PORT on a CEC must use the same PORTNAME. The OSA will remember the first PORTNAME that is used to activate the OSA PORT. All subsequent users must use this same PORTNAME. If an incorrect name is used and is remembered by the OSA, the OSA can be reset using the VARY OFFLINE command for all CHPIDs that used that OSA PORT. Resolving the problem Use the same PORTNAME (device_name in TCP/IP DEVICE and LINK statements) in all VTAM and TCP/IP definitions that use an OSA PORT. /quote Note that an OSA feature is like an elephant, it never forgets - unless you take a massive gun to it and VARY OFFLINE command for all CHPIDs that used that OSA PORT. If you want to update a TRLE definition use V NET,ACT,UPDATE=ALL,ID=trl- major-node-name but make sure that IP has stopped the DEVICE. You should be able to discover your DEVICE names with the output from the NETSTAT DEVLINKS command. There is no need to stop VTAM. There is a very helpful guide to changing DEVICE and LINK statements entitled Modifying DEVICE and LINK statements under Summary of DEVICE and LINK statements under Chapter 2, TCP/IP profile (PROFILE.TCPIP) and configuration statements in the z/OS Communications Server IP Configuration Reference manual. However, you are on V1R4 and I checked V1R10 so I made sure something similar was available in V1R4 and here it is: quote Modifying DEVICE and LINK statements: To modify any DEVICE and LINK statement values, follow these steps: Stop the device. Use a VARY TCP/IP command with an OBEYFILE that contains: A new HOME statement that does not contain the home IP address or addresses of the LINK or LINKs involved in the DELETE DELETE linkname and DELETE devicename statements Use a VARY TCPIP command with an OBEYFILE that contains: The changed DEVICE and LINK statements A new HOME statement that includes the home IP address or addresses of the LINK or LINKs being added Start the device. Note: To dynamically change a value on a LINK statement only, do not perform the DELETE devicename and redefine DEVICE steps in the above list. /quote Anyhow, thanks for suggesting I should look this up. I hadn't realised/remembered it was so complicated!

Re: INFOZIP 2Gb

Is it possible to string together a couple z/OS UNIX commands and use UNIX pipes? I don't think this works exactly, but something roughly like this: cp //\'ANYUSER.PROGRAM.OUTPUT\' | zip /usr/anyuser/output.zip - The zip command does accept stdin (using - as shown), and the cp command does read MVS datasets. But I don't think that syntax is exactly right. According to the z/OS 1.10 documentation, the following z/OS UNIX commands support direct interaction with MVS datasets: cp mv pax tar c89 If at least one of those can transparently pipe to stdout, then you should be able to get an MVS dataset into a zip file without writing that 14GB to an intermediate zFS or HFS file. Actually, I see in the archives that John McKown posted a possible solution. He said that z/OS UNIX cat does support MVS datasets. (Which isn't documented. :-() But if true, here's what might work: cat //\'ANYUSER.PROGRAM.OUTPUT\' | zip /usr/anyuser/output.zip - There are a few command line options for cat, and of course there are some for zip as well. So those could be added as required. Of course, you can also initiate this sort of command via z/OS JCL (e.g. BPXBATCH) if you need to do that.

That means it is allowed to set an E/SPIE routine that masks program checks. An LE-enabled program suffers a PICx that is covered by an E/SPIE. Program check (I believe) FLIH checks for an ESPIE to be set for that particular PIC and gives control to that ESPIE routine. Note that neither SLIP nor RTM1 have gotten control yet. The LE ESPIE routine does it's thing basically bypassing RTM. It also writes the LE (formatted) dump if instructed to do so by the LE options. Then the routine re-issues the abend, converted to a 4039 with a number. At this point LE has done cleanup, so slip trapping on the re-issued abend is useless. TRAP(OFF,NOSPIE) will not necessarily get you a system dump. That dump would only be written if a recovery routine (FRR, ESTAE) requests it. However I still don't understand why I'm getting a U4039 abend when the manual specifically states that I should get a dump of the original abend with UAIMM. *if* and *only if* the 'original abend' has a recovery routine that would request a dump. In all other cases LE still has its fingers in the pie and will issue the 4039. After the 'original abend' recovery routine has written its dump, the 'other' - LE - processing is still done. For COBOL programs, LE is providing a dump that is formatted to show Working Storage and file/SORT areas in a way that relates to the data division mapping provided in the compile listing. It is at least 10 years since I did the work with the LE dump but remember how much better it was than SYSUDUMP for COBOL programs. I don't know how good the LE dump is for the other languages. I have a SYSUDUMP in the jcl SYSUDUMP dd will tell sdump (when called from the recovery routine) to issue just that, a sysudump instead of a 'real' dump.

REXX HI vs HE
What is the supposed difference between HI and HE to REXX? I have never been able to terminate an errant exec under TSO with an HI (even though the response to ATTN tells me I can). Is there anything that would make HI work in some installations but not others? I specifically said in some installations rather than for some exes because I've got a problem with an IBM-supplied NetView exec that is misbehaving in our shop. An internally issued HI is not stopping execution of the exec for me but, of course, works fine for IBM. (It's compiled REXX so I can't see what is going on.) This is a hare-brained idea, but I wonder if there could be something in my shop (my last 2 shops) that would prevent HI from working. BTW, I tried searching the archives, but a search for REXX plus HI or HE finds a few too many irrelevant hits. :-) Thanks.

Re: Replacing channel attached IBM 6262 printer
Hi Gadi, We use the LRS products, which are available with limited use licensing to help keep the costs down. We run too many remote printers to qualify for limited use. Their print products can do other things besides drive printers too. What kind of printer do they plan to use? If they want to do similar (or same) print, Tally makes a SOK capable continuous forms printer, much smaller physically than the 3262, but very sturdy. The IBM 6400/6500 is good workhorse printer too , but is is LPD or IPDS . Regular VPS can drive it as an LPD (and the Tally SOK), but would need an add-on for IPDS (does not require PSF).

Re: How to delete multiple volumes from DFSMSrmm
Hello Rex,
You might want to try a RMMCLIST batch job. With it you can get RMM
to generate a listing of the volsers and then have RMM do whatever
you want to them. Here's a sample of the code we use:
//SEARCH# EXEC PGM=IKJEFT01,DYNAMNBR=20
//SYSTSPRT DD SYSOUT=*
//RMMCLIST DD DSN=XXX.RMM.CLIST,UNIT=SYSDA,SPACE=(CYL,(15,5))
//SYSTSIN DD *
RMM SV VOLUME(123*) -
OWNER(*) LIM(*) ST(SCRATCH) -
CLIST('RMM DV ',' REMOVE')
EXEC 'XXX.RMM.CLIST'
/*
If this is your first time using the RMMCLIST, you may want to change
the CLIST('RMM DV ',' REMOVE') to CLIST('RMM LV ') to get a better
feel for it.
Good luck,
Kathleen

You have little choice but to examine painstakingly every entry in every catalog and make some tough decisions: 1. Which entries actually represent the same entity? That is, not only the same name but the same physical object in the same location? 2. For entries that are truly duplicates, how do you wind up with only a single entry? 3. For false duplicates--same name for different entities--how do you resolve the conflicts? Literally trash all the entries/entities but one? Rename entities in advance so that all can be preserved?
