Re: Customizing TSOPROC
What are the disadvantages of running under the interpreter? By stacking a command do you mean putting a command out on the external data queue and exiting, thus running the 'command'. Can you be clearer on this comment please? This is more out of curiosity. The last installation I was at I converted the CLIST logon processing to REXX as there were things I wanted to do that lent were easier to accomplish in REXX (just lazy in some respects too I must admit as I know REXX much better than I know the CLIST language). I'm no longer responsible for logon procedures and execs although I do handle my own on some of my systems.

did you ever consider writing up some documentation for STARTIO for those of us who don't have the brain power to reverse engineer the macro? i think it would be a wonderful contribution to the mainframe community if you ever find the time to do that. regards lindy From: shai hess [shai.h...@gmail.com] Sent: 19 June 2011 18:45 To: IBM Mainframe Discussion List (E-mail); hercules-...@yahoogroups.com Subject: Some tests with MFNetDisk PRO One of our user run test for MFNetDisk PRO.

Re: Some tests with MFNetDisk PRO
If you look at the STARTIO macro you need to supply IOSB and SRB. You need to feel all the value in the IOSB and the SRB. You need to fix your CCW and change all the address to real. You need to supply routine which will receive control in some stage of the IO. (PCI, END, ERROR etc..). You need to comply with the bits in the IOSB and the routines and your CCW. I am sure that if you dig in the internet maybe you will see some example about it. I do not understand why there is no example of startio. The only reason is that the STARTIO is not so famous compare to EXCP, EXCPR and all the other access methods. Very small number of users will want to deal with STARTIO. developing STARTIO will crash your system many times until it will work.
