Re: XML Parsing
XSLT is a general purpose way to transform XML documents. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XSLT The IBM XML Toolkit for z/OS includes the command-line (or batch) XSLT tool Xalan. Like most XSLT processors, Xalan has two inputs: the original XML document and a XSL (XML Style sheet) document and the output is another XML document. There are examples of how to run XSLT on z/OS on p. 61 of the z/OS XML Toolkit User's Guide: http://www-03.ibm.com/systems/resources/ixmza291.pdf XSLT is a little intimidating at first, but it is not nearly as hard as it looks.

So the xxx-xx- is an SSN, while xx-xxx is an EIN (Employer's Id Number) which is issued to legal fictions (partnerships, trusts, corps, LLC, etc.) and generally NOT to humans. Given that understanding, a simple set of global changes will only get you into trouble. This will take some intelligence to know the actual format. Now if ALL of these are actually SSNs, then I would assume that you can make the global changes leaving the SSNFormatted values exactly like they are as another poster intimated.

Re: Does C/LE open of DD:ddname(member) use SVC 99 or FIND?
Charles, I'm nearly certain that it doesn't do a SVC99 when you are using fopen with a DDNAME But it does seem to do a OPEN/BLDL/POINTSTOW/CLOSEfor each fopen() / fclose() using //DD:MYDD(MEM) IMO, there are a couple of important missing things: 1) There isn't a way to update (or get) the PDS directory user data when processing the member with fopen()/fclose(). 2) You would really like to be able to do this: fopen(//DD:MYDD(MEM1), ...) freopen(//DD:MYDD(MEM2), ) so that the freopen() caused a STOW (if opened update) and a BLDL/POINT, and avoided the cost of a complete OPEN/CLOSE path.I don't think that it does that. So, for my money, better BPAM support would be nice.

Generally problems in these stages result in a non-restartable wait state, for example wait state x'0B1' (e.g. LOADxx or IODF problem). Questions: 1. FREQUENCY: How often do they occur ? 2. DURATION: How long does it take to resolve them (e.g. minutes, hours, etc.) ? 3. IMPACT: What are the consequences (e.g. missed SLAs, etc.) ? 4. CAUSE: What are the underlying sources (e.g. hardware, software, etc.) ? 5. RECOVERY: How do you recover from them ? 1. Rarely. IPL is performed rarely. In my case I haven't noticed such problem *on production systems* for years. Such problems do happen during tests, like new system, PTFs applied (and IPLTEXT not refreshed), new CPC, new LPAR, DR test, etc. BTW: I *hate* looking at last 3 digits, then previous digits... ;-) Since the numbers are available on HMC, it would be nice to have button Explain which could (under the covers) open the book and perform the analysis for me. 2. The time depends on two-three elements: a) time to open the book. It can be few seconds when I'm on my PC (HMC accessed remotely), it can be minutes when I do it on real HMC and I have to use another PC for documentation access. b) time to write down the digits, extract wait state code and reason code. c) (optional) sometimes I need to check whether description is accurate or maybe fix something (like LOAD member). I usually logon to TSO on another system and view/modify the things. It could take 5 min. 3. Lost time, some stress. From business point of view it doesn't affect my SLA. 4. IODF in multiple extents, OS config with bad offline/online device set (i.e. IODF device is described as OFFLINE YES), mistakes in LOADxx, not refreshed IPLTEXT (after PTF APPLY), typo in LOAD window on HMC. 5. See 2. I think R.S.'s response is typical for most of us. Although I can't remember the last time I had a wait due to nucleus or IODF in multiple extents, occasionally I have typo'd a loadparm when IPLing one of my sandbox LPARs. Loadparms never change in production except for a brief period when migrating to a new OS release and the sysprog will do that initial IPL/change and the HMC remembers it of course. Load addresses change often, but no one ever seems to type those in wrong. I really like the idea of the HMC being able to quickly open a reference to the correct wait state code.

Lucy emphasized that I review all the warnings documented in the Installing Your Order book for all the RACF jobs and especially for RACFDRV.

Re: ServerPac RACF* jobs (rant)
Today's problem is yesterday's solution. I have been away from ServerPac for over six years, but I was the original designer of the RACFDRV and RACFTGT jobs, so I will take full credit (or blame) for how they were intended to work. The problem they were meant to solve was that the RACF definition documentation was virtually *never* correct, and this was borne out by innumerable PMRs when installation jobs failed. Worse, it was not really practical to test it all because it was too manual, and even when we tried to do that, typos and such caused endless grief. So we created two jobs, with an overall z/OS section for each job, and then subsections for other things you could order along with z/OS to be included if you ordered them. The result *was* (at the time) tested against new, empty RACF databases and any bugs found were fixed. That structure virtually guaranteed some duplication in things like SETR commands, but because of how the internals of ServerPac production worked at the time there was no good way to prevent that. The result was: - Really unwieldy (we knew that going in) - Not something anyone sane would ever actually run (ditto) - Likely not done using anyone in particular's approach to security definitions (ditto again) - Intended as a *sample* one could pass off to a security administrator so that any appropriate additional definitions could be done to allow the jobs to run and the system to IPL. - Something that could be tested so that omissions were found at IBM rather than in the field. PMRs related to missing documentation about security system definitions dropped precipitously after the jobs were added to ServerPac, so we at least accomplished the original goal. If the jobs will not run against a new, empty RACF database (that is, essentially used to create a brand new test system, on which security definitions will be extended soon afterward), then in my opinion you should open a PMR. If you just don't like the way they work and want them to improve, you should open a requirement instead. Then and now, the ServerPac team does understand the strong desire to find the needed deltas for an upgrade rather than always seeing the full set of minimally-required profiles for a new system. On my wish list for someday back then was a way to go determine what things were not defined (profiles, entries on access lists, etc.) and then create new *sample* (again!) definitions for people to give their security administrators, but other things intervened. None of this changes anything, of course, but I thought some might want to know how we got here in the first place. -- John Eells z/OS Technical Marketing IBM Poughkeepsie ee...@us.ibm.com -- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@bama.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN

Re: Does C/LE open of DD:ddname(member) use SVC 99 or FIND?
Don't know what it's worth, but I'm quite sure that you can read a directory of a PDS simply by issuing fopen on it as a binary file - like this directory = fopen (dd:pdsfile, rb); that is, if you don't specify member names in parantheses, you get the directory of the PDS. And, yes, if you specify dd:dsname on fopen, there will be no DYNALLOC etc. and no SYSx ddnames, because there is already a ddname. I understand that those synthetic ddnames like SYS1 etc. are only needed, if you specify dsnames on fopen. Or, another case, if you do output to stdout by printf, for example, but SYSPRINT is already blocked (used, opened) by PL/1 (for example).

Re: Strip column 1 from reports
Hi Elardus,
How about IEBPTPCH? It can handle ANSI or machine carriage control if you want
the report to look like it would have on the printer, or you can use the RECORD
statement -
{label} RECORD {IDENT=(length,'name',input-location)}
{,FIELD=(length
{,input-location}
{,conversion}
{,output-location})}
{,FIELD=...}
to start your input field in column 2 and bypass the carriage control.
Your original dataset could retain all of it's characteristics and the output
of the IEBPTPCH can be directed however you wish.

Markup, yes, this is the correct word in these times of markup languages. The

there, overwrite a line there and there. It reminds me of the type of first
column (AFAIK) where you tell the 3800 laser printer to use this or that font
on this or that line.
Any greybeards remembering this 3800 toy? ;-D
It would be chaotic to produce an instance of each report for each class of
output device (printer, 3278, GUI display, etc.) Semantic markup is the
necessary answer. It would likewise be chaotic to undertake conversion of each
report generator to generate reports with semantic markup. A likely better
place to do this is in a SYSOUT writer that filters ASA carriage control to a
semantic markup language such as HTML, or perhaps XML.
Agreed 100%. Is there such software [1] ? I'm aware of XML on /zOS, but can you
use it on a SYSOUT?
And it might be unreasonable to expect such a filter to generate proper
markup for intended tabular material in reports. (Does XMITIP, for example,
to this?)
Interesting question! Thanks, I wonder what answer you will get?
Thanks Paul for your kind comments. It is much appreciated!

Re: XML Parsing
The possible solutions are not limited to the COBOL XML PARSER; you can use ANY XML parser that supports DOM. We have our own parser which is written in ANSI C and runs on every platform including z/OS and is very small and faster than the very general products from IBM and elsewhere like, for example, Xerces. It builds a DOM tree, which can be easily manipulated, and then you create the changed XML document by using DOM_serialize. We call our parser from PL/1 or C (other languages are possible, too).
