Re: JES2 Spool Display

2011-02-01 Thread Bruce Hewson
Hi Mark,

we had this happenadded more spool space than could be supportedhad 
some interesting effects until we changed the relevent values, and here is 
what IBM said:

Hello - 

  I have reviewed the main loop for JES2 SPOOL subtask process. 
There are only 2 ways to have the TGNUM change from  36648 to   
163790 as you have shown in the syslog with $T SPOOLDEF,TGSPACE 
command.   

  First would be to have the $DAS for the volume on the $DASWRKQ.   
 This will only happen if some commands are entered against this 
volume.   

  The second reason for this is the flag DAS3STUN is set for the   
volume. This will happen when a volume is started and the SPOOLDEF 
TGNUM is too small to accommodate the entire volume. User is notified 
with $HASP811 or $HASP853. Once this happens we have set  up the   
circumstances for OA28104. 
  
  Please apply the fix to prevent this issue from happening again. 

and to fix:-

Restarting the spool volume, with cmd $SSPL(splvol),FORMAT, will rewrite the 
bit maps etc.

Regards
Bruce Hewson

Existing jes exit06 and time restriction per job class

2011-02-01 Thread Manfred Lotz
Hi there,
I have an existing JES2 exit06 and like to restrict time based on jobclass.

Let us say I have a job class z where the maximum allowed time is 9
minutes. I check for time= in job card and if the time parameter is
set, and has anything greater than 9 minutes I would like to limit the
job to 9 minutes as this is the policy for that particular job class.

What is the correct field to set to get this done? I found JCTETIME in
the JCT but I'm actually not quite sure if this is the one to use.

Thanks.

Re: Existing jes exit06 and time restriction per job class

2011-02-01 Thread Rob Scott
The TIME keyword on the JOB statement cannot increase the time for the entire 
job over the default limit set for that jobclass - it is the TIME keyword on 
the EXEC statement that you need to concern yourself with.

In my old sysprog days I did this sort of thing at a couple of sites by just 
removing the TIME= specification from the JCL image based on jobclass and 
then issued some sort of message to indicate keyword removed by exit xx. 

You have at least a couple of choices here on how to do this :

(1) JES Exit 4 (and maybe JES Exit 2 for passing of user information from the 
jobcard to exit 4)
(2) IEFUJV (a bit of a dark hole - JES exits are easier to debug)

There are some gotchas out there - be careful with handling started tasks and 
also watch out for TIME= being matched inside a parameter string passed to a 
program.

Re: If Else JCL question

2011-02-01 Thread Robert Birdsall
Sorry for the delayed response...

Yes, it is permissible to omit the continuation mark.
From the z/OS V1R10.0 MVS JCL Reference manual section 17.1.4:

Continuing a Relational Expression 

You can continue relational-expressions on the next JCL statement. Break the 
relational-expression where a blank is valid on the current statement, and 
continue the expression beginning in column 4 through 16 of the next 
statement. Do not put comments on the statement that you are continuing. 
You can code comments after you have completed the statement. For 
example: 




//TESTCON  IF (RC = 8 | RC = 10 | RC = 12 |
//RC = 14)  THEN COMMENTS OK HERE

Note the lack of continuation character.

Is it permissible to omit the continuation mark in col. 72

only if the continued line ended with a comma.

(I looked briefly, not thoroughly, for this in the IF...ELSE

Beware of COND=ONLY to suppress execution.  Decades ago, a
colleague did that, but a prior step ABENDed.  Embarrassing
because it was my program.  I've since used COND=(0,LE).

Still waiting for a followup in COND format from the person who
posed the challenge...

Re: More JCL 'fun'

2011-02-01 Thread Robert Birdsall
I should have been more clear.
I used what may be an unsupported construct.  According to the JCL 
reference manual:
snip
A relational-expression consists of: 

Comparison operators 
Logical operators 
NOT (¬) operators 
Relational-expression keywords.
/snip

FALSE (and TRUE) are clearly not operators, which are listed on the following 
page of the manual.  Whether they are keywords depends on the correct 
interpretation of the 'Relational-Expression Keywords' section.
Initally, that section seems very clear - 
snip
The following keywords are the only keywords supported by IBM and 
recommended for use in relational-expressions. Any other keywords, even if 
accepted by the system, are not intended or supported keywords. 


Keyword Use 

RC 
indicates a return code 
ABEND 
indicates an abend condition occurred 
¬ABEND 
indicates no abend condition occurred 
ABENDCC 
indicates a system or user completion code 
RUN 
indicates that the specified step started execution 
¬RUN 
indicates that the specified step did not start execution 
/snip

which seems to state that TRUE and FALSE are not keywords.
In the keyword descriptions that follow, however, are the following:
ABEND=TRUE 
ABEND=FALSE 
stepname.RUN=TRUE 
stepname.RUN=FALSE 

using the words TRUE and FALSE as if they were keywords with a comparison 
operator.  Testing the constructs supports the theory that they were 
implemented this way.

My guess is that the only _supported_ use of TRUE and FALSE is with the 
ABEND= and RUN= comparison.  It seems unlikely to me, however, that IBM will 
complicate their code by limiting the constructs to that.

So... today 'IF FALSE THEN' and 'IF TRUE THEN' work (at least in my testing).
There is no guarantee that they will continue to do so.
The same is true of 'IF U0100 = U0140 THEN', also an unsupported construct.

Perhaps the manual seems clear to you in this description.
Personally, I would like it if they would clearly support the use of TRUE and 
FALSE as relational keywords.

Of course, the manual also states
snip
If you specify a stepname as part of a relational-expression, the system first 
determines whether the step executed. If the step did not execute, the 
evaluation of the relational-expression is false. 
/snip
which is clearly not true for 'IF (stepname.RUN = FALSE) THEN'.

Absolute statements in the manual may not be absolutely true.
Cautions in the manual may be overstated.

Robert,

I'm confused by your example.  Are you expecting that there is some kind of
predefined FALSE symbol you can use.  I'm not aware of that.  I think what
follows the IF has to be a test (what the book calls relational
expression) which is why the 'IF (U0100 = U0140) THEN' works.

On Fri, Jan 28, 2011 at 1:50 PM, Robert Birdsall bsqu...@umich.edu wrote:

 This is just silly, so be warned!

 Last week, I posted some JCL in a response which used 'COND=ONLY' to
 suppress execution of a JCL step.  In this case, I knew it was OK because
 it
 was a simple test job, and if some previous step abended for some strange
 reason I could just throw the results away.

 Paul Gilmartin suggested using COND=(0,LE) instead to suppress execution 
of
 a
 step as a general principal.

 I was just playing, and tried this:
 //jobname JOB (acct),'BSquare',CLASS=X,MSGCLASS=X,NOTIFY=SYSUID
 //*
 // IF FALSE THEN
 //EXEC PGM=KLUGE,COND=ONLY
 // ENDIF
 //*
 // IF (U0100 = U0140) THEN
 //YES1 EXEC PGM=IEFBR14
 //NO1  EXEC PGM=IEFBR14
 // ELSE
 //YES2 EXEC PGM=IEFBR14
 // ENDIF

 where KLUGE is a program that does not exist in the standard search order.
 OK, that works (KLUGE is not attempted, YES1 and NO1 are flushed and 
YES2
 is executed).

 Add ',COND=(0,LE)' to YES2.
 Funny - YES2 is still executed!

 Hmm... get rid of the COND=ONLY on the unnamed KLUGE execution.
 Wait... I got an S806.  What happened to the 'IF FALSE'?

 Well...  IF (cond) THEN [whatever] [ELSE whatever] ENDIF is only 
evaluated
 after the 1st step of a job (even if that step does not execute).
 So the 1st 'IF FALSE' is completely useless in this job.
 The 'IF (U0100 = U0140) THEN' (which could just as easily have been 'IF
 FALSE THEN') works as expected to flush YES1 and NO1 whether the 
unnamed
 KLUGE step is 'executed' or not.  This is true even if a valid program is
 called.

 The COND=(0,LE) was not effective on YES2 because no previous steps had
 been executed.  Unlike the 'IF FALSE' test, COND=(0,LE) doesn't work if all
 previous steps were flushed (say, because of COND=ONLY).

 The only way I know to suppress execution of a step that 'always' works on
 any step of a job is
 // IF FALSE THEN
 //job step to flush...,COND=ONLY
 ... the rest of the job step DDs, etc.
 // ENDIF

Re: Existing jes exit06 and time restriction per job class

2011-02-01 Thread Rob Scott
 I believe TIME=1440 will override any specification on the JOBCLASS(*)
JES2 initialization statements. 

Yes - you are correct - the manual I have is a little misleading :

In one place :

You can use the TIME parameter on a JOB statement to decrease the amount of 
processor time available to a job or job step below the default value. You 
cannot use the TIME parameter on a JOB statement to increase the amount of time 
available to a job step over the default value. To increase the allowable time 
over the default value, use the TIME parameter on the EXEC statement.

And then in another section later on in the book:

For a JOB statement TIME parameter of TIME=NOLIMIT or TIME=1440, the system 
nullifies any TIME parameters on EXEC statements as well as the default TIME 
values. All steps within the job will have unlimited processor time.

So - JES Exit 2 will be required as well.

Ñ(X'69') character and SYSLOG display

2011-02-01 Thread Juan Mautalen
Hi,

as you may know, Ñ(X'69') is an important character in spanish languaje. We 
have z/OS 1.9, and i have observed the following odd behaviour:

You can put Ñ in datasets and browse/edit them without any problem (from ISPF). 
You can even have Ñ in RACF database (for instance, in a userid NAME, or 
INST-DATA).

However, when an Ñ happens to be written to SYSLOG, you see it as a blank. In 
others words, in SYSLOG, Ñ is replaced by blank (X'40').

Do we have some misconfiguration?

Thanks in advance for your help,

Juan Mautalen

TSSO processing

2011-02-01 Thread Richard Pinion
Please excuse the incorrect line formatting.

I have the following table in TSSO,

AOFTWS1  TABSTART ID=AOFTWS1 
TWSERROR TABENTRY 
MSG=EQQE036I,ACTION=OSCMD,ECHO=YES,  X 
   TEXT='S TWSSUB1'

This is the message that is issued.

EQQE036I JOB  (JOB02900), OPERATION(0002), 036

The action is being executed 4 times, which is the number of lines in the 
WTO.  How can I make it only issue one command?

Hi there,
I have an existing JES2 exit06 and like to restrict time based on jobclass.

Let us say I have a job class z where the maximum allowed time is 9
minutes. I check for time= in job card and if the time parameter is
set, and has anything greater than 9 minutes I would like to limit the
job to 9 minutes as this is the policy for that particular job class.

What is the correct field to set to get this done? I found JCTETIME in
the JCT but I'm actually not quite sure if this is the one to use.


I did it in exit 6 in the past (you probably have seen posts of mine if
you checked the archives).  

When I wrote this exit, we only cared if people were using TIME=
with class Q, which was an express class with 3 seconds of CPU 
time max.  There were always enough class Q inits since they were
for quick compiles, iebgener jobs, etc. So I checked for time= 
and set a flag, then did a second check after all JCL was converted
to see if the jobclass was Q and time= was used.  If so, I set RC=8 
and canceled the job.   I also used the same exit to make RACF calls
to JOBCLASS.x in a locally defined RACF class to see if the user
was allowed to run in that class (keep test jobs out of production
classes).

Re: Ñ(X'69') character and SYSLOG display

On 1 February 2011 11:10, Juan Mautalen jgmauta...@yahoo.com.ar wrote:

 Yes, that correct. Its pronounciation is very different from N. For instance, 
 ÑOM in spanish is pronounced as GNOM in english.

GN is a fairly unlikely English representation of Spanish Ñ or ñ. In
ordinary English orthography, an initial GN has the G completely
silent, and the N unaffected, so an English GNOM would be
indistinguishable from an English NOM. The same is true for initial
KN. There are exceptions, of course (what would English spelling be
without them?), as well as dialectical and historical differences.

It's easy to say that Spanish Ñ is the initial sound in English words
like NEW, but there are some not so uncommon English dialects in which
NEW has no glide and is indistinguishable from NOO. Perhaps one
unambiguous way of putting it is to tell the English reader that Ñ is
the sound you'd get if you put an ordinary N sound in front of the
English word YOU.

Regardless, the accent is evidently very important in Spanish, the
classic example being feliz año nuevo vs feliz ano nuevo.

 I didn't see where it says what happens if you don't specify a code page or 
 TRTAB, but I suspect it defaults to CP 037 (US EBCDIC).

CP 037 is an encoding of Character Set 697, and has always had both Ñ

 You can put Ñ in datasets and browse/edit them without any problem (from

 However, when an Ñ happens to be written to SYSLOG, you see it as a blank. In

 Do we have some misconfiguration?

2011-02-01 Thread Pearce, Colin E
Yes Tony,

You make a good point.  Our US folks have a habit of saying NEW with no glide, 
so it ends up as NOO.  'I bought a NOO car today'.  Of course it's not left 
there, as the cold mornings in the US can provide much Morning DOO (DEW with 
the glide).  Mind you it's hard to imagine any US person using FEW without the 
glide, 'I had a FOO too many drinks'.  it's also there in Church, where we sit 
in our usual seat or PEW, with the glide. Again it would be unthinkable of 
anyone saying 'well I attended Church today and sat in my usual POO'.

Maybe off center in this thread, but still interesting to digest.

Fiber Cables

2011-02-01 Thread Hal Merritt
Two Issues.

First, I've been tasked to procure the correct cables for a OSA-Express3 
(feature code 3370 on a 2098).

The only specification I can find is '9 micron single mode fiber'. I'm having 
trouble relating that specification to any verbiage on the cables or their 
packaging. Can any one point me to a Rosetta Stone to translate the various 
markings?

This sounds an awful lot like a standard long wave FICON cable.

Are these, in fact, one and the same? If so, can someone point me a definitive 
IBM source? (This will be a mission critical application and management wants 
'works for sure' rather than 'should work').


Second, the specific mission is to interconnect two 2098's. We could use a 
switch (but that's a complicated solution) or we could use a 'cross over' 
cable. I am thinking that all I have to do is swap the polarity of one end of 
the fiber cable and I'm there.  Anyone that has actually done this and have it 
in high volume production?  (Please, no speculation).

Thanks!!

 The closest I can find on this is
 here:

 It lists the code points which are acceptable to the WTO

 SYSLOG itself
 has the same restriction. The x'69' code point is not in
 this list.

Re: Fiber Cables

2011-02-01 Thread Doug Fuerst
Assuming the OSA-3 is a SR (short wave or reach) you can use multimode 
50µ (aqua) cable for a distance of about 900ft. I am going through this 
now. There is a single mode option (If I remember correctly), but 
results in a shorter length. The 9µ core is pretty much standard for 50µ 
single or multimode. The difference is cladding and protective wrap. 
62.5µ is a bit bigger, orange, and used almost exclusively for ESCON. 
Tons of stuff on the web; I found most of it via Google. Good luck, and 
contact me off list if you need additional information, I think I can 
find it somewhere.

Re: Protecting spool output datasets

2011-02-01 Thread Hal Merritt
I don't think that you have anything to worry about. The dsname you see in the 
IEF285I is not a temporary dataset in this context. That is, it does not 
actually exist on DASD under that name. 

The JESSPOOL class should be all you need.   

HTH.

From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:IBM-MAIN@bama.ua.edu] On Behalf Of 
Nick Jealous
Sent: Monday, January 31, 2011 9:52 AM
To: IBM-MAIN@bama.ua.edu
Subject: Protecting spool output datasets

We want to be able to control output to SYSOUT datasets on the spool when 
accessed via SDSF. So for example we may want to allow access to the spool 
dataset assigned to a SYSPRINT DD statement and deny access to a spool 
dataset with a REPORT DD statement.  I know that we can define relevant 
profiles in the JESSPOOL class as detailed in the SDSF customisation manual 
but the problem is associating the JES temporary dataset name with the DD 
statement it is used on. Unless the DSNAME parameter is coded on the output 
dataset the allocated JES temporary dataset will end with a ? for example the 
following JCL

//TEST  EXEC PGM=IEFBR14 
//DD1  DD SYSOUT=X   
//DD2  DD SYSOUT=X   
//DD3  DD SYSOUT=X,DSNAME=amp;DD3

causes the following to be allocated.
IEF285I   COSSNJ9.COSSNJ1B.JOB96806.D101.? SYSOUT  
IEF285I   COSSNJ9.COSSNJ1B.JOB96806.D102.? SYSOUT  
IEF285I   COSSNJ9.COSSNJ1B.JOB96806.D103.DD3   SYSOUT

So if we add a DSNAME parameter to a spool dataset that we wish to protect 
this allows us to define a suitable RACF profile in the JESSPOOL class.

My question is what is the best way of achieving this? 
Please assume that we do not wish to mass change the JCL in the production 
libraries using a source management package, a JCL tool such as JOBSCAN, 
JCLPREP, JCLCHECK etc, or an edit macro etc.

This is a JES2 system at Z/OS 1.11 using RACF security. I think this can be 
done by using JES exit 4 and exit 40 to add a DSNAME parameter to JES 
output datasets as we see fit which would probably be to make the 
DSNAME=amp;XX where XX is the DDNAME of the current JCL statement.

I have down loaded some of the JES2 mods from the CBT tape but have not 
managed to find (it may of course exist) a suitable example to change.

Any ideas on other ways of achieving this e.g. by mods to SDSF itself or using 
other exit points. 

Has anyone got a suitable exit they may be willing to share?

They must set default options in their ISPF LOG/LIST options (from ISPF

will no longer be displayed unless they issue any list and/or log commands

In simple words, 9um cable is single-mode fiber, the same as for FICON 
LX. You can read about it in sg245444 IBM System z Connectivity 
Handbook, especially App. B.


BTW: Things get more complicated when talking about multimode and 
(contemporary) big speeds - there *IS* difference between 50um and 62,5 
um, and cable class (OM1, OM2, OM3, OM4 - see ISO/IEC 11801) is 
important. Fortunately, it is NOT your case. You need OS2 SM 9/125 um.


Caution: cable (fiber) is one issue, another one is connector. It can be 
SC or LC (or many many more) - all new cards require LC ...but it's not 
everything you need to know! It can be LC/AC or LC/PC or subviariants.
Honestly I simply don't remeber those details - the typical variant is 
the proper one.





Eth connection.
I don't know for sure. I never connected two Eth cards directly (I mean 
fiber optic media). However it can work (my divagation, I would try it).
It won't work FOR SURE in case of 1000BaseT (copper media) at 1000Mbps 
speed.



BTW: OSA Express3 is ambigous. FC 3370 is unambigous. It is OSA Ex3 
10GbE LR. It requires LC cnnectors and 9um single mode fibers.

This can be one of the most confusing things to troubleshoot. You really
have to think carefully and clearly. One says I have a hex xx in my dataset
and it is displaying incorrectly as a 'y'. There are so many places it
could be going wrong. The z/OS component could be using the wrong (from your
point of view) CCSID. Or the character could be right on z/OS but your
emulator is translating it to the wrong (from your point of view) ASCII
character. Or the ASCII character could be right from your point of view,
but your Windows (or Mac or Linux) code page could be such that the right
ASCII character displays as the wrong graphic.

BTW, the standalone character '~' is a tilde. The little thing on top of a
Spanish Ñ or ñ (hope those come through correctly) is properly called an
enye (EN-yay). It's shorthand for a double n -- it's a little n parked on
top of the main n. Señor is shorthand for what was once properly spelled
Sennor.

No. It's a tilde. On my keyboard it's the shift character

Re: More JCL 'fun'

2011-02-01 Thread john gilmore
Mr Birdsall quotes the list
 
| Comparison operators 
| Logical operators 
| NOT (¬) operators 
| Relational-expression keywords.

from the JCL manual, and this snippet--apart from the quaint distinction of ¬, 
which is a [singulary] logical operator, from  and |, which are [binary] 
logical operators--is innocuous.
 
From this point forward things are less clear to me.  In particular I do at 
all understand the discussion of whether TRUE and FALSE are keywords.  Is the 
12 in
 
IF RC = 12 THEN . . .
 
a keyword?  Or again, is S0C4 in
 
IF ABEND = S0C4
 
a keyword?  The answer to both of these questions and to a denumerable 
infinitiy of other similar ones is no.  TRUE and FALSE are the [only] possible 
values of a logical expression; S0C4, U4000, and the like are among the 
possible values of an ABEND code.  They are constants, and as such they may 
have syntactic and semantic definitions, but they are not keywords.
 
More generally, while JCL is certainly an acronym for Job Control Language, JCL 
is not a language either in the sense in which Estonian is a language or in the 
sense in which FORTRAN or XML is a language.  Much of it is ad hoc, and 
attempts to formalize it or ask very precise questions about its syntax are 
certain to fail.  
 
JCL slip paths like those Mr Birdsall discusses abound; and you exploit them at 
your peril: the next z/OS release may omit to support them without a conscious 
decision by anyone to yank their support.
 
Finally, it is not clear to me that constructs of the form
 
IF always true construct THEN
. . .
ELSE
. . .
 
or
 
IF always false construct THEN
. . .
ELSE
. . .
 
have legitimate uses since both THEN and ELSE groups may be empty.  
 
What qppear to be under discussion here are questions on the model of Aquinas's 
quaestio whether angels in translocating from A to B pass through the 
intervening space, which 700 years of often learned discussion have not much 
clarified.

Re: Existing jes exit06 and time restriction per job class

2011-02-01 Thread Andy Wood
One problem with doing this in JES2 exits, 2/4/6 is that you do not know with 
certainty what class the job will run in - it may be reset before execution. If 
the users submitting the jobs typically do not have authority to change the 
class, perhaps this is not of concern to you though.

Once the Log/List defaults are set, ending ISPF with 'X' will use the

 Hi,

 as you may know, Ñ(X'69') is an important character in spanish languaje. We
 have z/OS 1.9, and i have observed the following odd behaviour:

 You can put Ñ in datasets and browse/edit them without any problem (from
 ISPF). You can even have Ñ in RACF database (for instance, in a userid NAME,
 or INST-DATA).

 However, when an Ñ happens to be written to SYSLOG, you see it as a blank.
 In others words, in SYSLOG, Ñ is replaced by blank (X'40').

 Do we have some misconfiguration?

Re: Fiber Cables

2011-02-01 Thread Scott Rowe
Yes, and there is no such thing as a crossover cable, all you need to do is
connect them together with a standard cable, and it will work fine.  Also,
in this configuration, you should be able to push the MTU up to the max
(64k, I think), since you won't be going through a switch or anything.

On Tue, Feb 1, 2011 at 1:48 PM, R.S. r.skoru...@bremultibank.com.pl wrote:

 Hal Merritt pisze:

  Two Issues.

 First, I've been tasked to procure the correct cables for a OSA-Express3
 (feature code 3370 on a 2098).

 The only specification I can find is '9 micron single mode fiber'. I'm
 having trouble relating that specification to any verbiage on the cables or
 their packaging. Can any one point me to a Rosetta Stone to translate the
 various markings?

 This sounds an awful lot like a standard long wave FICON cable.

 Are these, in fact, one and the same? If so, can someone point me a
 definitive IBM source? (This will be a mission critical application and
 management wants 'works for sure' rather than 'should work').


 Second, the specific mission is to interconnect two 2098's. We could use a
 switch (but that's a complicated solution) or we could use a 'cross over'
 cable. I am thinking that all I have to do is swap the polarity of one end
 of the fiber cable and I'm there.  Anyone that has actually done this and
 have it in high volume production?  (Please, no speculation).


 In simple words, 9um cable is single-mode fiber, the same as for FICON LX.
 You can read about it in sg245444 IBM System z Connectivity Handbook,
 especially App. B.

 BTW: Things get more complicated when talking about multimode and
 (contemporary) big speeds - there *IS* difference between 50um and 62,5 um,
 and cable class (OM1, OM2, OM3, OM4 - see ISO/IEC 11801) is important.
 Fortunately, it is NOT your case. You need OS2 SM 9/125 um.

 Caution: cable (fiber) is one issue, another one is connector. It can be SC
 or LC (or many many more) - all new cards require LC ...but it's not
 everything you need to know! It can be LC/AC or LC/PC or subviariants.
 Honestly I simply don't remeber those details - the typical variant is
 the proper one.




 Eth connection.
 I don't know for sure. I never connected two Eth cards directly (I mean
 fiber optic media). However it can work (my divagation, I would try it).
 It won't work FOR SURE in case of 1000BaseT (copper media) at 1000Mbps
 speed.


 BTW: OSA Express3 is ambigous. FC 3370 is unambigous. It is OSA Ex3 10GbE
 LR. It requires LC cnnectors and 9um single mode fibers.

I agree with Elardus Engelbrecht. I understand the auditors have a
job to do,

Shooting from the hip is not party of their job. However common it may
be for auditors to generate BS requirements, that is *not* what they
are supposed to be doing; they are supposed to be verifying compliance
with policies and best practices. Actually doing their job instead of
counting coup requires that they understand the environment that they
are auditing.

From my perspective, the worst part is that while they are generating
busy work they are failing to identify the real problems.

Re: Does ROUND dataset allocation mean cylinder boundary?

 If I code a dataset allocation using block size and count, and the ROUND 
 keyword: 
(1024,(100),,,ROUND) 

 Does the dataset (or at least primary extent) begin on a cylinder boundary? 
 The JCL Reference manual (1.12) says that ROUND requests that space 
? allocated to the data set must be equal to an integral number of 
 cylinders, which doesn't explicitly say it's on such a boundary. 

 
The JCL User's Guide is more specific on this.  It explicitly states:  

if you code ROUND as the last subparameter in the SPACE parameter, the system 
allocates the smallest number of cylinders needed to contain the request.  

Cylinder allocation (and therefore ROUND used with average block or average 
record) allows faster input/output of sequential data sets than does track 
allocation.  

If you request space in terms of average block length, the system will compute 
and allocate the smallest number of tracks (or cylinders if ROUND is 
specified)  

if you specify the secondary quantity in cylinders, in blocks, or in records 
with the ROUND subparameter, then the secondary space allocated to the data set 
starts at the beginning of a cylinder.

While it may be in the manual, I don't think this statement has been true
for several decades.

Re: Fiber Cables

2011-02-01 Thread R.S.

Yes, and there is no such thing as a crossover cable, all you need to do is
connect them together with a standard cable, and it will work fine.  Also,
in this configuration, you should be able to push the MTU up to the max
(64k, I think), since you won't be going through a switch or anything.


Well, it depends on what we understand as crossover cable.

In every scenario you need to connect A-transmit to B-receive and 
A-receive to B-transmit.  In good old days of ESCON all plugs were 
duplex and all cables were crossed to achieve the above. In LC and other 
modern plugs world it's quite common to get 2x LC simplex plug so you 
decide how to plug it. Of course your choice does not mean there are 
more than one proper way to do it :-(


BTW: different cables for copper (UTP) ethernet also connect Tx to Rc, 
but usually ports is switch are already crossed over so straight cable 
is OK. However there is no way to connect to Gigabit Eth (copper) cards 
without a switch, even using crossover cable.
