The latin word 'virus' is an uncommon 2nd-declension neuter noun. (Most 2nd-declension neuter nouns end in 'um' in the nominative singular.) Thus 'virus' has no latin plural. If one is needed in English 'viruses' is available. The very common latin word 'vir', man, has the nominative plural 'viri', men. Moreover, 'ii' is impossible qua suffix: it can occur only when a stem ends in 'i', as in radius==radii. Latin dropouts would indeed be well advised to avoid attempting to form the plural of -us words. They are too problematic: the singular 'opus' has the plural 'opera'; the singular 'octopus' has the plural 'octopodes', etc., etc. It is far better, albeit subliterate, to speak of octopuses than of octopi.

This is not CPU efficient. I could write an IEAVMXIT in assembler to trap all messages and process the WTORs. This is probably more CPU efficient, but not simple. Especially since I would likely need to queue the WTORs to another address space to actually process. I could write a program to set up an EMCS console.

We run with no people other than on call people on the weekends and holidays. This means that a batch job or some other process could hang on a WTOR because we don't currently have a way to notify anybody that they need to take a look.

lcd 'HLQ'

put REST.OF.DSN(0) remote.File.txt
lcd /some/unix/subdirectory
get remote.file.txt
close
RC=FTPCALLS('OFF') /* shutdown ftp client software */
Another might be ADDRESS SSH which would be similar, but would connect to a
remoter SSH server and send the commands to the remote SSH shell for
execution. Note that this was inspired by Dovetailed Technologies' excellent
products for doing remote commands via SSH from z/OS batch jobs.
How about ADDRESS SFTP to match the ADDRESS FTP?
Other thoughts: ADDRESS CICS to send CICS requests via EXCI to a CICS
region. ADDRESS IMS, ADDRESS DB2?? These may already exist for all I know -
I'm quite ignorant.
Am I overlooking something? Have I inspired anyone? Or am I whistling in
the wind?

Re: IBM-DYNAMIC 3270 emulated terminal type
Maybe this link will help. http://www-03.ibm.com/support/techdocs/atsmastr.nsf/WebIndex/TD102151 http://www-03.ibm.com/support/techdocs/atsmastr.nsf/WebIndex/TD102151 On Thu, Sep 30, 2010 at 9:01 AM, Joel C. Ewing jcew...@acm.org wrote: Another issue related to the need to have your 3270 emulator explicitly set to the larger screen sizes has to do with using session managers that allow you to easily migrate your sessions to another workstation. Our session manager allows you to pull your physical connection to another workstation without disrupting the virtual sessions between the session manager and applications like TSO/ISPF, and avoid the overhead of application logoff/logon. But if you move to another workstation that has a different emulator setup that does not support the same screen size, then undesirable and sometimes very confusing things can happen when your existing TSO/ISPF session thinks it has different display real estate than the emulator on the new workstation. I normally run 43x80 and even occasionally 60x132, but if I know I'm going to have to shift to another location (to do something from Operations or another user's location), I have to constrain to the default 24x80 to avoid problems migrating my sessions to a foreign emulator setup. If the 3270 type were really dynamic in the way I understand dynamic, then you should be able to change your emulator screen size on the fly without disrupting existing application sessions and have that change communicated to existing application sessions directly without having to re-logon to the application. Now that would really be useful! JC Ewing On 09/30/2010 01:07 AM, Juergen Keller wrote: hello Nick, just let me say that you are not alone. We also use larger screen-sizes when looking at syslogs or dumps etc. But the main problem is that you have to configure it by editor in the WS-profile (as explained in your link). And whenever you change anything in your PCOM-characteristics and saving your profile (or when leaving PCOM with save), this is overwritten by the model- type from the configuration. Now PCOM Vers. 6 gives you the chance to define 62*160 as screen-size in the configuration. This helps to avoid the above problem. And yes its true, most of the applications still use 24x80. In ISPF we prefer the setting of screen format to 1 (data). Then, when you are not in split screen with a syslog on one screen, most of the panels are sown in 24x80 and only when data is longer the size changes. But that is how a user likes it. With LOGON-Commands we offer the possibility of using fixed sizes or varaiable sizes. So every user can do what he wants. regards Juergen ... -- Joel C.

Re: KSDS insert failed with out of space
Maybe the new record being added causes a CI (control interval) split and there is no free CIs in the CA (control area) causing a CA split which would possibly try to add a new extent to the file and there is no more space in the volume for the new extent. So you get an out of space condition in the volume. Also, maybe you do not have specified free CIs in a CA.

There was an STC called SOTFAUDT that also ran with a couple of batch jobs, SOURCER and SURVEYOR, that took some considerable CPU resources. I'm fairly sure that these batch jobs were report jobs and not part of the actual monitoring task but I remember being concerned enough about the amount of CPU that these batch jobs were accruing that I eventually had them scheduled to run off hours to reduce the pain to prime time since these jobs were defined as production batch back then. We're talking *hours* of CPU on RC4 technology, at that time. So I would say that while the MONITOR itself was not CPU dependent the batch jobs, especially SOURCER, took some considerable CPU resources when run and I'm not sure why.

Very well. From, for example, the Wikipedia On-Line Encyclopedia (which is reachable by googling 'oxymoron'): An oxymoron (plural oxymora) (noun) is a figure of speech that combines two normally contradictory terms (e.g. deafening silence). Oxymoron is a Greek term derived from oxy (sharp) and moros (dull). Oxymora are a proper subset of the expressions called contradiction in terms. What distinguishes oxymora from other paradoxes and contradictions is that they are used intentionally, for rhetorical effect, and the contradiction is only apparent, as the combination of terms provides a novel expression of some concept. which is a szuitably elementary discussion. The notion of 'a novel expression of some concept' is of course problematic when it is viewed diachronically; but it is important to remember that 'deafening silence' was once, perhaps in Cicero's time, a fresh and novel expression.
