MFNetDisk PRO, new important fix and PTF management.
HI, I upload new MFNetDisk PRO with new fix and management new handling. The stacked CCW collect many CCW and its data and send to PC to emulate the disk or tape. If the CCW in the stacked modify other CCW in the stack, before the new fix, MFNetDisk PRO was not aware to that. So, in rare case, example from life, imagine CCW read data to another CCW in chain in the stack CCW, with new parameter to CCW. Example read data to the parameter of SEARCH KEY, or SEARCH ID CCW. The bug was that I stack the parameter of the SEARCH ID before the read operation run. This error may cause error like unit check with sense of no record found. What the fix does is check if CCW read in stack update CCW write parameters. If this is the case MFNetDisk will stack the stack CCW for this chain before the write CCW run (SEARCH ID for example). So, this IO required 2 send of TCP request instead of one. If you ask about PCI bit in CCW, MFNetDisk handle it OK from the start of the PRO. Second change I made is, mange better thefixes I put in MF and PC. After start the MF or PC MFNetDisk, I add message of PTFID. This numer is the PTF number in the MPCFIXINFODOC.PDF file. Example from this file: 145. Start display PTFID when MFNetDisk in MVS started. The PTFID point to the number of fix from this file. In this case, this PTFID=145. I hope I will remember to update this ID for each fix in PC and MF. Be aware that if the PC or the MVS is not updated with the fix, the PTFID will not be updated. June 17, 2011 So, when MF start the PTFID will be 145.

MFNetDisk PRO. Another lovely quote from user in Germany.
first of all thanks a lot for your wonderful piece of code making us think working with areal DS8X or ATL library.

Re: Maintaining ISPF's command stack
Dan, For some reason, ISPF needs an ENTER key simulated. I got this to work by including a trailing delimiter. START PANEL(ISRUTIL);2; Regards, John K Maintaining ISPF's command stack DanD to: IBM-MAIN 06/17/2011 11:41 PM Sent by: IBM Mainframe Discussion List IBM-MAIN@bama.ua.edu Please respond to IBM Mainframe Discussion List Greetings, I have a dialog that calls a routine to perform the following... ISPLINK CONTROL,ERRORS,RETURN ISPLINK CONTROL,NONDISPL,ENTER,NOSETMSG ISPLINK DISPLAY,SYSVARS ISPLINK CONTROL,ERRORS,CANCEL The above code is used to obtain some system level variables from the panel's )INIT section. The panel is never seen. This code is working and the variables are obtained and usually the code works as expected. The problem is that when a user invokes the dialog and stack the 1st selection option (ie. DLGNAME;4 to get to option 4). After the above code was implemented the command stack seems to get cleared and the ;4 is ignored. At first I thought this could be the ZTRAIL, but as the user is not entering something like 4.1.2, I don't believe ZTRAIL has anything to do with this problem. I have also checked the users' Command delimiter, and it is set to ; so this should work. (it did before the above SYSVARS panel nondispl/display was added). Does anyone have any ideas why this is failing? Any hints in how to debug this or correct it? Thanks in advance.

Re: Maintaining ISPF's command stack
Thanks for trying John and Elardus. As I said, originally DLGNAME;4 worked. Now with... ISPLINK CONTROL,NONDISPL,ENTER,NOSETMSG ISPLINK DISPLAY,SYSVARS the only way I can get it to work is to add extra stack characters... DLGNAME;;;4 I also tried ISPLINK DISPLAY,SYSVARSENDCMD where ENDCMD is a variable containing END. When I tried this, no number of stack characters would get me to option 4. It appears that when the COMMAND option on the DISPLAY request is specified the command stack is cleared and replaced with the the caller's variable (ie. END). If there was a Z variable that contained the command stack, I could prefix that with END. Hmm..maybe there is such a variable.
