3270 Emulator Software
I just went through the archives looking for generic information on 3270 emulators. There is a lot but no specific to my requirements. So here goes.

I have in my list so far Hummingbird Bluezone HOD (Host on Demand - IBM) - an I am not sure what other software is required to run this (Websphere or other?) !Extra Pcomm Rumba However, I was wondering if there were others.

I am not sure what anyone else is using out there for this type of software. I love Vista3270 but I am not sure that my company will even look at it. Is there a preference out there or is it just a random acquisition - kinda like I like the pink one? Or does someone have an evaluation analysis write up on this type of software that they would be willing to share?

And there also you have entry/exit conventions. At least two, see cdecl ou stdcall. Who does the push/pop, caller or subroutine. Any program (even IPL) is called in some environment. There are some rules to obey in order to have a correct communication behaviour. The example given contains some of several conventions concerning: - register save areas (or stack) one may save registers or not, and one may provide a save area for called programs (subroutines) or not, obtained dynamically or not. - parameters register 1 pointing to thingies, or 0, or ... - code base register, using balr x,0 is one way, often one knows that R15 has the entry point, some compilers use R14 as base register and use at the same time balr 14,15 to call subroutines. - preparing return one has to undo what has been done at entry - return code, or parameters. this depends on what the routine is supposed to return. - return address: often in r14 at entry, but one may also SVC 3 sometimes, even ABEND, XCTL. depends on the caller requirements. All depends whether one works in its own environments some environments like subsystems, jes2 etc require specific code for which often macros are provided. I know at least one kind of subsystem that do not use saveareas in the usual way, but has a stack which is obtained at main level used for parameters and savefareas, allowing to call a certain number of subroutines. how often does one really use recursive subroutines? Quicksort can be easily done without in real environments for example. Doing this with getmain/freemain would be a little slow. Often, entry/exit conventions are hidden in macros, named like PROLOG/EPILOG or $ENTRY/$EXIT $PROC/PROC$, and there are macros like CALL etc that hide the calling side.

Instructions, such as ADD, take their operands from a stack and leave their results on the stack.

It's called the linkage-stack. It is used by BAKR, PC, PT, EREG[G], ESTA, ... . And, of course, it is superior to the PC's because you can't overflow the stack. On a PC, this overwrites memory.

There is also a secure version (does SSL as I recall). I have run it on Linux using Wine (not the secure, as I don't have that variant). It is well supported, and as far as I am concerned, the price is good (QWS3270 Plus is less than US$30 single seat the last time I priced it). I am not a Citrix user, so I have no idea about how QWS will interface with it (we have Citrix here, I am just fortunate to only need a normal VPN). The biggest kicker that I have come across in evaluating 3270 software: Scripting language and how it is supported. If you already have a system written using one language, will it easily port to another 3270 emulation system? The next one, which is much more important to me is, can I map my keyboard (whether it is a keyboard or a laptop keyboard wannabe) to behave as much as possible to a real 3270 keyboard, including all the programmable keys (PF and PA)? Since I am a touch typist, this is a critical thing to me. Don't make me use a mouse to get PF3 or PA2 or some such.

Re: Assembler Entry and Exit module
True stack based machines don't have general purpose registers Fair enough. Remember Forth? it is superior to the PC's because you can't overflow the stack. On a PC, this overwrites memory Of course we all know the Z is superior to all other types of hardware, real or even conceived. :-) But I do recall that the 8086+ family has an SS register that normally points to the end (lower memory extremity) of the stack.

Charles There are not truly stack based as Shmuel was talking about. True stack based machines don't have general purpose registers. Instructions, such as ADD, take their operands from a stack and leave their results on the stack. PCs (x86) do have a dedicated register, SP, which is used by software for stack operations, which are basically PUSH, POP, CALL, and RETURN. The z has something similar, really. It's called the linkage-stack. It is used by BAKR, PC, PT, EREG[G], ESTA, ... . And, of course, it is superior to the PC's because you can't overflow the stack. On a PC, this overwrites memory.

Re: 3270 Emulator Software
Folks, read her post -- she mentioned Vista in her query. But consider this another vote for a good, solid piece of software. I've seen and used dozens of tn3270 clients. Most are pretty well the same, though you'll learn to hate specific features in some of them. I would thus STRONGLY recommend trialing several, and trying the tasks you need, such as macros, upload/download (some of them make the dialogs infernally confusing -- make sure you try it with specified formats such as F 80, which some make VERY hard to specify), SSL, etc. That might sound obvious, but given how similar they all are, it's easy to shrug and say Yep, looks like a 3270 to me and move on too quickly. One anti-recommendation: Extra! has sucked pretty badly IMHO for a very long time. Buggy and flaky. Haven't been forced to use it lately, but I spent a week at a customer site and found pretty quickly that typing over about 30wpm caused it to GPF. Boy, did that make for a looong week... At least we've stopped seeing new tn3270 products showing up at SHARE -- for a while there, every drug-addled CEO seemed to think it was a new market, and every SHARE there would be two or three new ones, most of which were never seen again. -- zMan -- I've got a mainframe and I'm not afraid to use it -- 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: Soft Cap
I've presented on this fact at Share conferences, z/OS Expo and CMG. The 4 hour rolling average (4HRA) often (but not always) stabilizes at a number higher than an LPAR's Defined Capacity or an LPAR Group's Capacity Limit. This has to do with the algorithms WLM uses to control the capping. When you set or lower a capping target (either Defined Capacity or LPAR Group Capacity limit) it of course cannot impact the history that has occurred in the preceding four hours. The 4HRA continues to be computed based on that history and may well be above the capping value. However, when SCRT processes the SMF data the 4HRA, and the defined capacity and or the group capacity are all in the SMF 70 data and SCRT will report the lower of the values. So you 4HRA can be higher than the cap and you are not charged for that. When I first presented this in the Spring of 2004 I called this effect Bonus MSUs and that was a term IBM certainly liked! If you are capped is at 16 MSUs then SCRT should not be reporting 17 MSUs. This indicates that at least one hour in the month the 4HRA of your LPAR group was at 17 without the cap being enforced. This is one of the features of the LCS software: auditing of SCRT. Al Sherkow, I/S Management Strategies, Ltd.

Re: LP:PP ratio?
David, I believe that the 2:1 ratio can be pretty well dead and buried, especially with enhancements like Hyperdispatch. There were two affects as I recall. One was that the excess number of LP increased CPU time through increased HSB miss, and that low weight LPARs with way too many engines would steal capacity because of the LP timeslice. Back in CMOS days I found that the 2:1 rule was almost always beneficial, but nowadays on a z9-408 we run in excess of 10-15 LPARS with at least 2xLP each sharing 4 or 6 PP and there is no noticeable problem. We run test loads from time to time moving some LPARS between shared and dedicated PP so I expect a significant difference would have been noticed. Of course YMMV, especially if you are running extreme ratios (e.g. a z196-715 with ten LPARs of 15xLP each).

Re: 3270 Emulator Software
From: zedgarhoo...@gmail.com One anti-recommendation: Extra! has sucked pretty badly IMHO for a very long time. Buggy and flaky. I have to agree. Last year I worked at a customer's site for 2 months, and was forced to use Extra! The first thing I did after installing SimpList was to try to configure Extra so I could Surf the mainframe (i.e. select the many hundreds of SimpList point-and-shoot fields by clicking them with a mouse). But the only way I could get Extra to select point-and-shoot fields was to single left click (to position the cursor) and then single right click (to select). The left-click/right-click combination is far less intuitive than the double left click I'm used to. It was so frustrating I actually gave up and went back to using the keyboard!!! (GASP) What I like about Vista3270 is that it supports point-and-shoot with a mouse right out of the box. Other emulators (e.g. PCOM) don't support it out of the box, but if each user takes the time to look through their emulator settings they can at least configure it that way. The next step below that is emulators where the closest you can get to point-and-shoot support is something very unintuitive (e.g. the left-click/right-click combo supported by Extra). Finally, right at the bottom of the pack are emulators that don't support point-and-shoot at all. I won't name names because it's been many years since I used such an emulator and perhaps they've fixed that deficiency by now. One of the things I'd strongly recommend reviewing when evaluating emulators is their ability to allow users to select point-and-shoot fields with a mouse.

I opened a PMR with IBM to inquire about this.

Re: 3270 Emulator Software
Dave We have EXTRA! and I too am not as pleased with it as a few others. However, at least with Extra! Xtreme 9 you can change the mouse's left double click to select and ENTER.

Buggy and flaky. I have to agree. Last year I worked at a customer's site for 2 months, and was forced to use Extra! The first thing I did after installing SimpList was to try to configure Extra so I could Surf the mainframe (i.e. select the many hundreds of SimpList point-and-shoot fields by clicking them with a mouse). But the only way I could get Extra to select point-and-shoot fields was to single left click (to position the cursor) and then single right click (to select). The left-click/right-click combination is far less intuitive than the double left click I'm used to. It was so frustrating I actually gave up and went back to using the keyboard!!! (GASP) What I like about Vista3270 is that it supports point-and-shoot with a mouse right out of the box. Other emulators (e.g. PCOM) don't support it out of the box, but if each user takes the time to look through their emulator settings they can at least configure it that way. The next step below that is emulators where the closest you can get to point-and-shoot support is something very unintuitive (e.g. the left-click/right-click combo supported by Extra). Finally, right at the bottom of the pack are emulators that don't support point-and-shoot at all. I won't name names because it's been many years since I used such an emulator and perhaps they've fixed that deficiency by now. One of the things I'd strongly recommend reviewing when evaluating emulators is their ability to allow users to select point-and-shoot fields with a mouse.

Re: simple JCL question
Gil, The problem with your example is that even though it looks like it is, PGM=xxx is not a keyword argument. According to the JCL reference manual, the first parameter after the EXEC statement is a positional parm and the rest of them are keyword. The While I'm not saying I agree with it, that's the way it is defined and documented. Now, if IBM were to require PROC=y to execute a PROC (and make everybody change their JCL to comply), then I would think it would be a simple thing to change the PGM= to be a keyword parm, but I don't think IBM will do that (nor do I want them to).

Re: iEFUTL Exit...Batch job with OMVS Spawned Address Spaces
That is a very intriguing question and there were some responses that further piqued my curiosity, so I did some digging. I believe that the SDSF PS command may be using the MVS BPXEKDA service to display the waiting for child status. I took a dump of one of these waiting for child address spaces and discovered the following: 1) The current TCB is ATTACHed under the Initiator (IEFIIC), which linked to EP=BPXPRJRW; this is analogous to what's specified in PROC=BPXAS. 2) The current TCB itself has a single PRB. The EP is the batch program and the last thing it did was SVC 60 (ESTAE). No further RBs are chained to this RB. 3) The only way that I could tell that this TCB represents a dubbed process is that it has a non-zero value in STCBOTCB (the OTCB is USS's primary control block for a task). I'm not sure how much more it is possible to derive by scanning control blocks in this address space but the BPXEKDA service looks promising, albeit somewhat cumbersome. As far as I can tell, the SMF IEFUTL exit is invoked as an IRB in the address space that has exceeded JWT and is therefore permitted to use the BPXEKDA service. The BPXZODMV macro maps both the input area passed to the service and the output area that it returns. In a nutshell: 1) The input area of the ODMV (mapped by BPXZODMV) is about 88 bytes long, following an 8-byte header (I think) Byte 0: C'ODMV' Byte 4: A(output area) should be at least 1M Input area begins at ODMV+8 flag byte called ODMVINBYTEM1 should be set to ODMVASIDS (X'20') = ASID will be specified area called ODMVASIDPARM should be set to value in ASCBASID 2) The output area that you passed (via the ODMV) is filled in with information about the address space. The DSECT that maps the information returned for request ODMVASIDS is called ODMVPROCESS. The DSECT includes a byte called ODMVSTATUS3 which is set to C'W' (ODMVCHILD) when it is Waiting for child I'm glad you asked because I'd never looked at this stuff before.

Re: Job Submission exit
We use JES2 exit 6 to restrict job classes to selected RACF groups, but is should be pretty easy to just check the origin for TSUn instead. The problem with using the TSO submit exit is that it is easy to bypass by just using any old program to send card images to the INTRDR. /jack - Original Message - From: Ward, Mike S mw...@ssfcu.org Newsgroups: bit.listserv.ibm-main To: IBM-MAIN@bama.ua.edu Sent: Tuesday, August 24, 2010 4:22 PM Subject: Job Submission exit Hello all, I'm asking for a little help.

Not that TSO SUBMIT exit is not a good solution for this as it is very easy to code a sysout to INTRDR, write to it and bypass the submit exit (or allocate INTRDR to your TSO session).

One of those LPARs is our sandbox, which is pretty well crippled (one CPU, 3GiB central storage, on a z9-BC). My standard tn3270 emulation is the 3290 screen size (62x160), and I specify LOGMODE(D4C32XX3) at logon time. This has worked wonderfully through z/OS 1.9. At z/OS 1.11, and (so far) only on the sandbox, my 3290 emulation simply will not display SDSF at all; the session simply hangs. If I omit the LOGMODE(D4C32XX3) and accept our default 24x80 screen size, there is no problem with SDSF (other than readability, of course). Note that the other LPAR that was upgraded lives on the same z9-BC, which also hosts a Coupling Facility. Anybody have any idea what I should look for, and where, to address my SDSF on the 'Sandbox problem? Known problem, and discussed several times before. If you hadn't skipped z/OS 1.10 you would have found out a long time ago. :-) Change HIBFREXT=96000 in TSOKEY00 (I assume it is something lower or you wouldn't have this problem). Unfortunately you can't change this dynamically. Well, now that I've had a chance to browse the archives, I find that not only had this been discussed, but I (!!) had bragged about using 62x160 on z/OS 1.11 with TSOKEY00 values HIBFREXT=6600 and LOBFREXT=3300! I can't imagine what changed where when we upgraded the second LPAR on that box. I have no idea where the 6600 and 3300 values came from originally, but the last changed date on our TSOKEY00 members is sometime in 1992. I see in current (and not-so-current) documentation that the DEFAULTS are now HIBFREXT=48000 and LOBFREXT=24000, so maybe I've just been lucky for quite some time now. I think I'll lobby for using the current defaults for now (we've developed quite a taste for vanilla :-) ), and note that I did see Ed Jaffe's post about using LOBFREXT=48000 and HIBFREXT=96000. -jc- -- 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

To: IBM-MAIN@bama.ua.edu Date: Tuesday, August 24, 2010, 2:18 PM I opened a PMR with IBM to inquire about this. I learned two things: 1) The PTFs UK59131 and UK59134 are now available as of today. 2) It might be a good idea to wait for new PTFs UK59501 and UK59510 which are coming real soon and will replace UK59131 and UK59134 respectively.

I think this secret hold technique is very ill-advised to say the least. Brian Brian: I think I remember running into this a long time ago but for a different component.My memory is iffy here but but I think it had to do when TSO Rexx first came out (1991?) I had several issue with it and was advised not to put on the PTF but a succeeding PTF. I vaguely remember asking (this was level 2) and got a reply that the succeeding PTF fixed more issues. I was shooting a lot of issues with REXX at the time and I realized that after opening 10 new incidences in the previous week I should sit back and wait and see if it would reduce the number of issues. I think I waited two weeks and was one of the first to get the PTF and put it on the same day and indeed it did fix 3 of the 10 issues I had. I was under the gun to get the system up and running as I think that was the same CBPDO that I was working on to get the 3800's up and running. Which is a whole other story with fixes. When the 3800's first came out (the mod 3's) talk about a can of worms. Again my memory is iffy as to the numbers but over the 3 or 4 months I ended up putting about 100 fixes on for that. That was a nightmare between trouble shooting and applying fixes and then trouble shooting again as the fixes did not seem to fix my issues. I think I got to be good friends with the crew out in Boulder(?) for level 3. One that was up and running the number of fixes decreased dramatically.
