Re: Terminate LE enclave and proceed
I cannot be too specific, but program AAA calls program BBB (COBOL LE reentrant) which calls program CCC, and program CCC wishes to return directly to AAA. CCC can back up one more savearea and return to AAA, but as far as LE is concerned BBB is still active and should AAA reinvoke BBB LE complains that BBB is still active. What need AAA do to allow this? It would be quite difficult to change BBB.

However, if someone has already gone through this process using SAS or REXX or other to build the DB2 load process, and would like to chat with me, I would appreciate it.

One comment on the 'pax' command. If you use '-XCM' the pax will be limited to copying the files in a single zfs (just in case you have other zfses mounted on sub-directories in the /etc/ directory).

Re: Freeing CPOOL cells backed by dataspace
The way to achieve this is by careful management of the extents in the callable cell pool services and ensuring that each extent starts and ends on a page boundary. You are only going to be able to DSPSERV RELEASE when you are positive that all cells in the extent have been returned and you have performed the CSRPDAC and CSRPDIS. One way of achieving this is to maintain your own queue of available+inuse cells that include the extent number that the cell came from. You then pre-get all cells from the extent and add to your available queue. When callers need a new cell, you just pop the fella from the top of the queue (rather than use CSRPGET each time). Once your program decides it wants to release and extent, you have to mark that extent unavailable to your cell get routine so that you can effectively drain the extent over time (this might take a *long* time) . Periodically you have to scan the queues to make sure that there are no active cells from the extent before you can proceed with actually releasing it.

Re: Termin ate LE enc lave and p roceed
It is not traditional to do so, but COBOL programs may now be reentered while still active if they are given the recursive attribute using a RECURSIVE clause. Recursive COBOL routines are denied the use of nested, internal procedures; but this is the only significant restriction on their content. Remember, however, that a new generation of local/automatic storage is allocated each time a recursive rputine is entered, with working storage remainiong in its last-time-stowed-into state.

John, You should run the define again and then look at the listcat output to look for the extended attribute that Darth asked about. You don't need to load data to get this information. I am not in a postion to experiment but you should have 20 volumes (actual plus candidate) in the listcat output. You get the greater of volume count from the data class or the number of volumes in the define, not the sum of those two numbers.

Nov. 17 Webcast - Intro to the new Linux on System z Terminal Server Using IUCV 9:00 AM EDT or 2:00 PM EDT
Cross-posted to IBMVM, LINUX390, and IBMMAIN for the Linux on the mainframe enthusiasts The next LVC / IBM Linux WebCast is scheduled for Wed. Nov. 17 Register to listen http://www.vm.ibm.com/education/lvc/ Date:Wednesday, November 17, 2010 Times: Choice of two live calls: 9:00AM or 2:00PM EDT (A replay is planned to be available a few days after the live call.) Title: Intro to the new Linux on System z Terminal Server Using IUCV Speaker: Hendrik Brückner, IBM Boeblingen Programming Laboratory Duration: 75 minutes Abstract: How often did you reconfigure your network setup using a line-mode terminal? Can you use ed to change and correct your configuration files? Why not using your favorite full screen editor? IBM introduced a new full-screen terminal access to Linux instances on the same z/VM system, using the Inter-User Communications Vehicle (IUCV). This feature is part the latest Enterprise Distributions for System z and provides an alternative terminal access to 3270 and 3215 line-mode terminals, especially for the Linux system administrator with basic z/VM skills only. Another use case is the system administration in a tight security environment, where sensitive Linux instances are isolated from the local IP networks. In this webcast you will learn how to set up a Linux instance as a terminal server for a virtual Linux server farm on z/VM. Registration info and Details are in the PDF invitation: http://www.vm.ibm.com/education/lvc/lvc1117l.pdf or just visit this web page. http://www.vm.ibm.com/education/lvc/ Please direct any questions to Julie Liesenfelt at jul...@us.ibm.com.

SFTP
I would like to be able to specify STDIN on my SFTP batch job. The man pages
has the following information:
-b batchfile Batch mode reads a series of commands from an input batchfile
instead of stdin. Because it lacks user interaction, use it in
conjunction with noninteractive authentication. A batchfile of
'-' can be used to indicate standard input.
Here is what I tried:
//SFTP2EXEC PGM=BPXBATCH,
// PARM=('sh sftp -vvv -b --
// prod...@.corp.com')
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
//STDOUT DD SYSOUT=*
//STDERR DD SYSOUT=*
//STDIN DD *
pwd
ls
ascii
lpwd
lcd /tmp
lpwd
!cp //'XX.SSPS.CSSMTP.TEST' test2.txt
put test2.txt
!rm test2.txt
//
Sftp
That was the response in STDOUT.
I would like STDIN to point to a dataset. Any help would be appreciated.

Re: SFTP
Mark,
BPXBATCH does not allow you to use DD:STDIN with an MVS dataset (only Unix
files).
You can, however, use the free Co:Z Toolkit which has:
- a replacement for BPXBATCH that works correctly
- a replacement for IBM sftp that supports z/OS datasets, among other z/OS
extensions.
Using this with your example would look something like:
// EXEC PGM=COZBATCH,
// PARM='/dest=prod...@.corp.com'
//STDIN DD *
cozsftp -b- $DEST EOB
lzopts mode=text,servercp=ISO8859-1
put //XX.SSPS.CSSMTP.TEST test2.txt
EOB
//
or even more JCL friendly:
// SET DEST='prod...@.corp.com'
// SET RFILE='test2.txt'
// EXEC PGM=COZBATCH,
// PARM='/DEST=DEST RFILE=RFILE'
//STDIN DD *
cozsftp -b- $DEST EOB
lzopts mode=text,servercp=ISO8859-1
put //DD:INPUT $RFILE
EOB
//INPUT DD DISP=SHR,DSN=XX.SSPS.CSSMTP.TEST

Re: does an UCB include any info on how many systems the given device is online?
I don't think so. I run a DCOLLECT on all my systems then assign a column / value from the system id and print out various stats about the volume. It does assume the same UCB on all systems.

We also use a trigger file method where we ftp the real data, then ftp a very small file. The remote system knows the first file is complete when the second one appears.

Tivoli Output Manager for z/OS is yet another option: http://www.ibm.com/software/tivoli/products/output-mgr/ Please note that I do not speak for IBM. However, my understanding is that Tivoli Output Manager (among other products) is eligible for sub-capacity licensing. In particular reference to your circumstances, if you are adding zNALC and/or Solution Edition qualified workloads, and Tivoli Output Manager is not running in those LPARs, then you would not have to purchase additional licenses as your zNALC-qualified workload grows.

Re: Need to copy files from etc to etc
Hi. May be, i misunderstood something, but look at the manpages of the cp-command. -R (UNIX to UNIX only) Clones the source trees. cp copies all the files and subdirectories specified by source... into directory, making careful arrangements to duplicate special files (FIFO, character special). cp only follows symbolic link specified as source operand on the command line. -r (UNIX to UNIX only) Clones the source trees, but makes no allowances for special files (FIFO, character special). Consequently, cp attempts to read from a device rather than duplicate the special file. This is similar to, but less useful than, the preferred -R. I did a copy of trees very often, and it works. Many years ago I used cpio ( -iBdumv and -oBav or similar) to copy trees. But with cp it is much more comfortable. regards Leo Strauss On 12.11.2010 08:09, John McKown wrote: On Thu, 2010-11-11 at 21:24 -0600, Roger Lowe wrote: On Thu, 11 Nov 2010 06:29:04 -0600, John McKownjoa...@swbell.net wrote: On Wed, 2010-11-10 at 21:59 -0600, Roger Lowe wrote: John, You could also try 'copytree' Roger True.
