Re: Data Masking - 3270 Sceens
Cris, The workstation agent can do that for you. I use it to automatically open excel on my pc whenever my sasjob has created my excel with ods. Little sas example that creates an ASCII excel (with TRANTAB=ASCII) on z/OS. (RECORD_SEPARATOR=NONE and RUN; are neccesary to make it work): ODS TAGSETS.EXCELXP FILE=XML RECORD_SEPARATOR=NONE TRANTAB=ASCII OPTIONS(FROZEN_HEADERS='YES' EMBEDDED_TITLES='YES' SHEET_NAME='nice sheet name'); PROC PRINT DATA=something NOOBS; RUN; ODS TAGSETS.EXCELXP CLOSE; For details on the workstation agent look at http://gsf-soft.com/Documents/ISPF-CS.shtml I use the following for the example above, where the excel is in USERID.EXCEL dataset: SET IPADDR = 10.x.x.x(my pc ip address) WRITE CONNECTING TO WORKSTATION IPADDR ISPEXEC WSCON IP(IPADDR) NOGUIDSP SET HVAR = EXCEL (dataset USERID.EXCEL) SET WVAR = C:\TEMP\EXCEL.XLS (where to place it on my pc) WRITE SENDING FILE SYSUID.HVAR TO WVAR ISPEXEC FILEXFER HOST(HVAR) WS(WVAR) TO(WS) BINARY NOSTATS(I use binary instead of text since TRANTAB=ASCII already made it ascii) WRITE OPENING FILE WVAR WITH EXCEL ISPEXEC SELECT WSCMD(CMD /C START EXCEL WVAR) MODAL(the trick to open excel) Hope it makes sense...

REXX + DB2 question
Hi!
I have a Rexx script where I run DB2 applications by DSN+CALL commands:
ret_codes.=''
do i=1 to
.
q1 = RUN PROGRAM(pgmname) PLAN(planname)
q2 = PARM('parm_txt')
queue (q1)(q2)
queue END
DSN SYSTEM(DB2X)
ret_codes.pgm.i=pgmname
ret_codes.plan.i=planname
ret_codes.retcode.i=RC
'DELSTACK'
end
The above solution is bad from performance's point of view.
Best solution would be to build the stack and then run DSN command only
once:
do i=1 to
.
q1 = RUN PROGRAM(pgmname) PLAN(planname)
q2 = PARM('parm_txt')
queue (q1)(q2)
end
queue END
DSN SYSTEM(DB2X)
'DELSTACK'
The thread will be created only once. But there is one difficulty. I don't
know how to take over return codes of all
running programs (but the last).
Anybody knows the solution? (or address where TSO saves RC after running
CALL program).
regards
Karol Filipowicz

Re: HFS file questions
On Wed, 9 Feb 2011 14:54:58 +1100, Stephen Mednick ibmm...@css.au.com wrote: Not quite correct as far as the use of FDRCOPY goes. On the COPY statement there is the keyword HFS=QUIESCE which to quote from the manual: HFS= QUIESCE â Invokes special processing when Hierarchical File System (HFS) data sets are copied. HFS=QUIESCE implies DSNENQ=USE so it will first attempt to get a SYSDSN enqueue on the file. If the enqueue fails, it probably means that the file system is mounted to UNIX System Services (USS), so a âquiesceâ call is issued to prevent updates to the data set during the copy. If the quiesce fails and ENQERR=BYPASS was specified, the HFS data set will not be copied. See section 80.11 for details and security requirements. NOTE: HFS=QUIESCE implies DSNENQ=USE (described earlier) for all data sets being backed up, not just HFS data sets. HFS=QUIESCE does not apply when moving HFS data sets; they must be dismounted before the MOVE. Default: HFS data sets will not be quiesced unless HFSQUIESCE is set to YES in the FDR Global Options Table (see section 90.13). If you use the default, you should unmount the file system before the backup to be sure of getting a usable backup. Has Innovation fixed HFS=QUIESCE to work for zFS yet? Or created a new keyword? Last I checked it wasn't supported so I have to use zfsadm to do it prior to copy (in particular my cloning process of my sysres maintenance zFS files).As far as I know, that quiesce call / API is the exact same for HFS and zFS so it would be a trivial change for the software to just check for zFS and do the quiesce if HFS=QUIESCE was specified instead of ignoring it as it does today. Innovation's support has always been top notch but this particular item really irks me considering I've had zFS set up since z/OS 1.4. have been using zFS regularly since z/OS 1.6 and all but eliminated HFS usage since z/OS 1.8.

Re: Default REGION Size
I worked at a place that had a similar setup with 8M. It was set artificially low because there were a bunch of assembler programs in the shop that did a variable getmains to give them everything below the line. By setting it to 8M, it meant that they couldn't get everything below the line and thus the jobs would tend not to abend for exhausted storage below the line.

Re: Default REGION Size
Yes. And no issue these days on probably 95% + of all systems with above the line either. 2G ain't what it used to be and with the size of today's systems and paging subsystems, even if more than a few of these ill-behaved programs all did the variable length getmains at the same time you probably wouldn't notice.Even my smallest system has 1.5G of real storage and my smallest sandbox LPAR has 1G. I still have my IEFUSI set with a default of 256M above, but anytime someone asks for more, they can have it. If they asks for 1G or more, they get everything above the line (which ends up being about 1700M-1800M on most of my systems). My last real update was in 2005 for MEMLIMIT (other than a slight change in 2007 for OA14391).

If those were Duo Core Hyper threaded running Linux Hercules you could run 50 MIPS per CPU, * 4 CPUs * 750,000 cores = 3,000,000 cores 150,000,000 MIPS. 4 core or 6 core would double or triple that.

Re: Default REGION Size
As Tom Marchant pointed out, it's likely LSQA fragmentation. And the S822 was misleading: the step requested 8M but turns out only needed 2M. So getting everything avail in 16M private on the job rerun worked. We (the small z/OS sysprog group) missed CHECKREGIONLOSS. Plain and simple. That will be addressed. Restarting an initiator is easy enough to do, but while fragmentation can happen (and you take a hit to find out), you want to avoid the easy S822's like the one we had. The issue with how much *low* private to allow is ensuring RTM can successfully GETMAIN, so I'm wondering: if we change the default to 128M, or 192M, etc, do we need to subtract some vstor for the low private ?

Re: Default REGION Size
snip-- We run a 4-system production sysplex using z/OS/JES2 1.11 augmented by Thruput Manager. As a result of an application area reporting one of their critical jobs abending S822 (issue since corrected), we found ourselves noticing a very old parm value: default REGION size for all classes via the JOBCLASS statement. It's still set to an 'ancient' value of 7M! Haven't assessed how many of our jobs simply accept the default, but I'm thinking of changing the default region size for all jobclasses to a more current value of 32M.

REVEDIT feature of TSO REVIEW command - ISPF-like EDIT in TSO READY mode
Hi Folks, It was brought to my attention that there are some people who don't already know about the REVEDIT (ISPF-like editor) feature of the REVIEW TSO command from CBT Tape File 134 (source) and File 135 (load modules). This is an ISPF-like editor that works in TSO READY mode, and it can be used as a recovery tool when TSO is up, but ISPF can't come up. REVEDIT is available (I think) in REVIEW version 40 and above. It was added to REVIEW by Greg Price, in order to have an editing tool in MVS 3.8 that runs under Hercules, where ISPF is not available. But REVIEW with REVEDIT ALSO runs fine under z/OS. In order to get into the edit mode under REVIEW, the primary command is UPDATE, from the command line of a REVIEW screen if you're REVIEWing a file. From a pds member list, the line command is U instead of S. It certainly pays to have this tool installed and in place on your z/OS systems in advance, if you ever need it in a pinch. When ISPF can't come up, you can fix the LOGON procs and LOGON CLISTs in a minute, without any hassle at all. You can also submit batch jobs from inside a REVIEW session, where you've edited the batch job or started PROC in TSO READY mode, just like under ISPF. Of course, many of you already know about the availability of this tool. But for those of you who don't already have it installed, it could save you a lot of hassle in a pinch someday. It pays to keep REVIEW installed, and available to your TSO session at any time. REVIEW is not just a file browser. NOW, it is also a file editor. It pays to re-view the new REVIEW! All the best of everything to all of you. Sincerely,Sam Golob P.S. The latest versions of REVIEW will cooperate with ISPF when ISPF is up, and will not stay separate from ISPF, as in the past. -- 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

I can't really answer. What does RMF III show. There have been some bugs related to the control blocks that I use not having the proper values in them. If RMF III shows the same thing for totals but doesn't list the ASID using the 1M object, open a PMR with IBM.

An alternative is to create a dummy usermod to at least flag for maintenance. I have done that on many occasions, and then performed whatever steps are needed outside of SMP/E. For example, I had a shared sysres between different environments running DFSORT and they all wanted their own set of default options.

I'll take this to work and run a few tests before saying anything other than

Hi!
I have a Rexx script where I run DB2 applications by
DSN+CALL commands:
ret_codes.=''
do i=1 to
.
q1 = RUN PROGRAM(pgmname)
PLAN(planname)
q2 = PARM('parm_txt')
queue (q1)(q2)
queue END
DSN SYSTEM(DB2X)
ret_codes.pgm.i=pgmname
ret_codes.plan.i=planname
ret_codes.retcode.i=RC
'DELSTACK'
end
The above solution is bad from performance's point of
view.
Best solution would be to build the stack and then run DSN
command only
once:
do i=1 to
.
q1 = RUN PROGRAM(pgmname)
PLAN(planname)
q2 = PARM('parm_txt')
queue (q1)(q2)
end
queue END
DSN SYSTEM(DB2X)
'DELSTACK'
The thread will be created only once. But there is one
difficulty. I don't
know how to take over return codes of all
running programs (but the last).
Anybody knows the solution? (or address where TSO saves RC
after running
CALL program).

Re: HFS file questions
Hi Stephen, Tha nks for the info on FDRCOPY. Until now, we have not unmounted or used the HFS=QUIESCE or the entry in the global options table. I will start to use the HFS=QUIESCE coding. So just for verification, if I code HFS=QUIESCE and ENQERR=BYPASS, I can run without unmounting the files and either get a good backup or an abend if some other process has the file for update. Yes?? I suppose we got 'lucky' on that one because all write acivity is very tightly controlled and we have a pretty minimal HFS setup - no personal files, no applications, no WebShpere. Just the required stuff and a pot load of documentation that is produced by a bunch of folks, but put into the HSF files by one of only two people. Course now, I am adding datasets, and changing things. :-)) Thanks, Linda - Original Message - From: Stephen Mednick ibmm...@css.au.com To: IBM-MAIN@bama.ua.edu Sent: Tuesday, February 8, 2011 7:54:58 PM Subject: Re: HFS file questions Not quite correct as far as the use of FDRCOPY goes. On the COPY statement there is the keyword HFS=QUIESCE which to quote from the manual: HFS= QUIESCE – Invokes special processing when Hierarchical File System (HFS) data sets are copied. HFS=QUIESCE implies DSNENQ=USE so it will first attempt to get a SYSDSN enqueue on the file. If the enqueue fails, it probably means that the file system is mounted to UNIX System Services (USS), so a “quiesce” call is issued to prevent updates to the data set during the copy. If the quiesce fails and ENQERR=BYPASS was specified, the HFS data set will not be copied. See section 80.11 for details and security requirements. NOTE: HFS=QUIESCE implies DSNENQ=USE (described earlier) for all data sets being backed up, not just HFS data sets. HFS=QUIESCE does not apply when moving HFS data sets; they must be dismounted before the MOVE. Default: HFS data sets will not be quiesced unless HFSQUIESCE is set to YES in the FDR Global Options Table (see section 90.13). If you use the default, you should unmount the file system before the backup to be sure of getting a usable backup. Stephen Mednick Computer Supervisory Services Sydney, Australia Asia/Pacific representatives for Innovation Data Processing, Inc. -Original Message- In order to make sure you get a clean copy using FDRCOPY, you'll have to either quiese or unmount the filesystem before doing the copy to a new/backup data set.

CSVDYLPA question
Following up on the earlier thread on permanent LOAD. It appears to me that the 8-character module name(s) passed to CSVDYLPA must be unique, is that correct? That is, unlike LOAD, it is not possible for two different jobs or STCs to have access to different versions of a given module, both of which have the same name. Am I missing anything? I am thinking specifically of a test version running in parallel with a production version. Both want to load their subsidiary module 'FOO', but the test version has a newer FOO than the one production already has in storage. Would the ADD fail? Or would the new FOO cause the old FOO to be deleted, leaving users who referenced it by address pointing at orphaned storage? Or would the new FOO replace the old FOO logically, but leave the old FOO in memory such that users who referenced it by address would continue to use the old copy?

TSO doesn't save all the RCs. Remember, when you queue commands
those commands are not run until after the exec ends!
Since the DSN command runs under TSO as a command processor,
perhaps you could queue some WHEN commands (I don't know if
WHEN commands will work after DB2 subcommands, but it might
be worth a try). Maybe:
queue when sysrc(= 0) se 'return from job 1 successful' u(*)
queue (q1) (q2)
WHEN commands are documented for use after TSO CALL, so I
don't know if this will work; also, you might have to put
the send command in a REXX exec or CLIST to make it work.
Bit of a stretch. Let me know how that works, if at all.

Re: IBM's New Service Request App
Is the a way to automatically copy the old ETR abstract field into the new SR title field? It is annoying that the SR title field is blank for records created via the ETR system. Don't hold your breath. I have griped about this before (also on this forum), and it went unaddressed. IBM probably figures that everyone will jump onto the new tool, and the rest ist just during conversion. After all, this internet tool is free, right? (That's the excuse I have always gotten from IBM for not fixing things in servicelink.) If you open an ETR via SR, it will have the correct 'abstract' afterwards. I think this has something to do with using a different retain field to fill in abstract in SR.
