Re: UNIT=VIO is INCORRECT DEVICE NAME
I believe that UNIT=VIO requires that VIO is defined as an ESOTERIC unit (rather than a GENERIC) - therefore it must be defined by the sysprog in HCD in the OS-config otherwise it will not be valid. (I have worked at sites in the past where even SYSDA was not defined as an esoteric).

Re: Crazed idea: SDSF for z/Linux
Hi You have interesting ideas, here I don't agree as with the REXX SPOOL interface and the HTTP server , small REXX exec's can serve any kind of browser with SPOOL data. With SAPI or the batch SDSF, it was not simple, but with REXX and SDSF it is easy , and it would be better to let the MVS make security checks, SPOOL access etc etc . McKown, John wrote: This just occurred to me. I wonder if I'm suffering from lack of oxygen to the brain. But, as best as I can tell, SDSF is capable of accessing the SPOOL files for a non-active JES2 system. At least as I recall from the past, I did this. So I got to wondering. Suppose I have a z/Linux system running in the same complex. Perhaps under z/VM. It might be nice (FSVO nice), if I could logon to z/Linux and do SDSF ad least to the extent of being able to read SPOOL files. Of course, being a bit paranoid, I would only allow a READONLY access to the DASD containing the SPOOL data. And there is always the specter of security. There may be SPOOL files which I should not be able to even READ (like payroll or HIPAA reports or ...). So this may be a stupid idea. But the though is intriguing to me.

Red Alert: All TCPIP users on z/OS 1.11 (2010.02.26)
http://www14.software.ibm.com/webapp/set2/sas/f/redAlerts/20100226.html Abstract: A logic error in the base TCPIP code of z/OS 1.11 can cause applications using ASYNCIO Writes to be driven twice. This can affect various applications and subsystems using z/OS TCPIP ASYNCIO on the sending side, such as Websphere MQ, JES and non-IBM products. Description: A logic error in TCPIP on z/OS 1.11 can cause applications using ASYNCIO Writes to be driven twice. The application data presented on the socket write operation is sent over the TCP connection twice, thus corrupting the data stream. This can affect various applications and subsystems using z/OS TCPIP ASYNCIO on the sending side, such as Websphere MQ, JES and non-IBM products. Please see APAR PM08514 for the details and symptoms that may result. Recommended Action: All z/OS 1.11 users should install the APAR fix for PM08514 that is currently available from IBM Support. This APAR does not apply to prior z/OS releases. --- end of the IBM Red Alert --- If you didn't get this directly from IBM consider to sign up for Red Alerts here http://www14.software.ibm.com/webapp/set2/sas/f/redAlerts/home.html The APAR is still open so there is no public URL for it.

Re: Red Alert: All TCPIP users on z/OS 1.11 (2010.02.26)
I seem to remember a similar red alert last year for all the then supported zOS releases. I'm surprised this popped up again under zOS 1.11. Mark Jacobs -Original Message- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List on behalf of Knutson, Sam Sent: Fri 2/26/2010 7:25 PM To: IBM-MAIN@bama.ua.edu Subject: Red Alert: All TCPIP users on z/OS 1.11 (2010.02.26) http://www14.software.ibm.com/webapp/set2/sas/f/redAlerts/20100226.html Abstract: A logic error in the base TCPIP code of z/OS 1.11 can cause applications using ASYNCIO Writes to be driven twice. This can affect various applications and subsystems using z/OS TCPIP ASYNCIO on the sending side, such as Websphere MQ, JES and non-IBM products. Description: A logic error in TCPIP on z/OS 1.11 can cause applications using ASYNCIO Writes to be driven twice. The application data presented on the socket write operation is sent over the TCP connection twice, thus corrupting the data stream. This can affect various applications and subsystems using z/OS TCPIP ASYNCIO on the sending side, such as Websphere MQ, JES and non-IBM products. Please see APAR PM08514 for the details and symptoms that may result. Recommended Action: All z/OS 1.11 users should install the APAR fix for PM08514 that is currently available from IBM Support.

Re: Item on TPF
IBM was about to sunset VSE a few years ago until it found out that in mainland China, VSE was the operating system of choice. Given their population, I don't think it will be disappearing anytime soon. And to think it all was just a mistake from the beginning. Back in the days when 3rd generation was about to walk upon the scene and OS was being developed by an outside source, IBM was concerned it was too big an undertaking and I might never even come into existence. So that they would not lose the chance to steal the market from UNIVAC which was the vendor of choice in those days and the favorite to win the 3rd generation race to the marketplace, they hastily developed DOS internally just in case and brought it out first. Unfortunately, it has always lacked at least one major control block, the DEB and so tech support has always been shackled with the burden of manually keeping track of every cylinder and track. Though now it has been mitigated. Something OS bigots refer to as the DOS mentality.

What else is interesting and quite comical (at least to me) is an article about issues with z/dos (or whatever IBM calls it now days). The rather odd restrictions that still haunt the dos people to this day. At least with MVS the restrictions are few and far in between. I still amazed that dos has continued to hang on to this day. I suspect that the die hard dos fans will retire before converting to Z/os.

ipcs print output
Hello:
Is there a way to -not- have a 'TITLE' page separator appear in the IPCSPRNT
output? For example, I do a SYSTRACE and there is no page separator, but
when I do OPEN PRINT(TITLE('')); SYSTRACE PRINT NOTERMINAL; CLOSE PRINT; I
get a line break.
I am looking for something like the LINECOUNT(0) option of HLASM.
Thank you.
Paul
