Re: SMP/E tool or question
Hi Thank you. I 'm making a GIMAPI for this kind of query. The problem was that I even didn't kown that it is an UTIN type entry. If I can ask you: The ISPF SMPE CSI query without entry name, gave me back, that CELHS003 was an UTIN type. Can I get the same via GIMAPI ?

Now I wanted to know, how this CELHS003 member arrived to the target library, so see all the SMPE/ entries with this member. How can I find out this ? I think you want to identify all of the load modules that include CELHS003. If that is the correct, then you can use the LIST command to list all of the LMOD entries and then manually filter/search the output to find occurrences of CELHS003. SET BDY(tgtzone). LIST LMOD. Or you can write a program to use GIMAPI to query the target zone to find LMOD entries with a UTIN subentry of 'CELHS003,SCEELIB'. I believe all of the load modules that include CELHS003 have a CALLLIBS of SCEEBND2. Therefore, if you have want to link edit all the load module that include CELHS003, you can use the LINK command, like this: SET BDY(tgtzone). LINK LMODS CALLLIBS(SCEEBND2) CHECK.

Re: Why is GRS ENQ needed in SMFDUMP program?
You might call the RESERVE macro a special form of ENQ, but the actual reserve was a hardware feature on DASD. When a reserve was initiated by a processor, I/O's from other processors were delayed until the reserve was released. The use of the ENQ was (IIRC) to provide a finer- grained interlock between processes running on the same processor. Nearly 30 years ago (before LPAR's and SYSPLEXes),I was a systems programmer at one installation where we had lots of 3344 dasd units and were running DOS'es under VM. We did a very successful migration to 2 MVS's with no DOS and no VM. However, it we were plagued with reserve lockouts until we found the problems. The first issue was VM's asinine treatment of reserves - we had a choice of configuring VM to either: (1) pass the reserve on to the disk physically, which provided lockout from I/O by another physical processor but did not distinguish between different guests, or (2) to handle the reserves logically (internal to VM) which successfully interlocked guests on the same processor, but did not do the hardware reserve, so there was no interlock between processors. That issue was resolved when we dumped the DOS'es and VM and ran a test and a production MVS on different machines. However, we still had reserve lockouts from time to time. It turns out that the 3340's were configured (as advertised) as 4 3340's each, and defined in MVS as 4 units. However, it turned out that there was only one reserve register (?) per 3344, so a reserve against one of the logical units effectively reserved all 4, and MVS did not recognize the situation. This was ameliorated by careful dataset placement, but was finally resolved when we went to 3350's. I complained about this to the local IBM staff, but I'm not sure they believed me, and software support was done by FE's, so I'm not sure the situation was ever fixed, or even APAR'ed.

Extended attribute, and Dynamic Volume Count, both primary and secondary allocations will use as many extents and volumes as necessary to get the requested primary or secondary space (not just the 5 extents for primary, 1 for secondary limits of ordinary sequential dataset allocation), so fragmentation of free space is less of an issue. Since you are not guaranteed any minimal amount of space for any individual extent, you also need the larger extent count limit given by the Extended data set attribute to insure that you are not artificially restricted by number of extents from allocating available free space on the assigned volumes. Using these attributes you can even request a primary allocation that spans multiple volumes and guarantee that step execution will not even start if a large minimal primary space is unavailable, but you have to be careful using this because at least in the past the RELEASE option would not release allocated but unused space on volumes that contained no written data, only on the last used volume of the data set (so a multi-volume primary allocation used for a very small dataset could consume a large amount of pool space on subsequent unused volumes even after RELEASE). Joel C Ewing Joel, I am not sure that would apply to a PDS. I know that for nonvsam sequential files that will work, but I am not sure if it is a PDS if it can go beyound 16 extents. I have been looking through the manauls and cannot find a reference (info center - yuck). Can you comment? Lizette No, I'm pretty sure my remarks only apply to Extended Sequential datasets and that there is no Extended support for PDS or PDS/E data sets. VSAM datasets can also be Extended, but they have their own allocation rules. I interpreted the context of the original question to be about sequential datasets since multiple GDG datasets were being merged -- and the ability to create and work with GDG datasets that happen to be a PDS is not really documented and not generally known outside those of us that needed the capability, tried it, and found it worked (obviously you can't specify both a member name and a relative GDG number in JCL because of syntax restrictions). I gathered from discussion at one of the SHARE QA's over a decade ago that PDS/E's can't be a GDS because the PDS/E designers didn't appear to be aware that was one of the features of a PDS and the PDS/E implementation explicitly disallowed such usage. And I forgot to mention earlier that a simple way to test whether your sequential datasets are being allocated as expected is to set up a job to IDCAMS REPRO a moderately sized sequential dataset concatenated to enough copies of itself to build up a sequential dataset equivalent to about half a drive in the pool, and then use that concatenated to itself enough times as input to another REPRO to convince yourself that extents for a multi-volume output dataset are being allocated as expected and multiple volumes are being used -- being careful to delete all your junk datasets after inspecting the results. There is an IBM utility designed explicitly to create a specified number of test records for a sequential dataset, but my recollection is that it is incredibly slow and a CPU hog - much faster to use IDCAMS REPRO. -- Joel C.

Hello, I think I found out what the SMS Retain Days Extra Backup Versions exactly means and want to make sure I am right. If I am right, I am not happy with it. A dataset has a mgmtclas with attribute SMS retain days extra backups = 50. On day 10 backup#1 is taken. On day 100 the dataset is updated and backup#2 is taken. If I am right, backup#1 receives an expiration date of day 60 and will be deleted immediately. So if I discover the next day that the update was incorrect, I want to restore backup#1, but it is not there anymore. Is this how it works? Why is the expiration counter of backup#1 not started at day 100, the day that it becomes the first Extra Backup? This way the backup is deleted on the day it becomes valuable. Kees.

Re: SMS Retain Days Extra Backup Versions - question.
I have not tested this, but I disagree. To use your example below, ...on day 100 ... elided ... will be deleted immediately. In my experience the extra backup counter will begin at day 100, add 50 and the extra backup will expire on day 151. Since I also run EXPIREBV on a daily basis, this may be setting the extra backup counter. The dfHSM manuals are really quite good about providing the details.

Re: Rmm extended dataset
Victor,
If your volumes have only a single file/data set one each volume you can use
the volume extract record ('V' - macro EDGRVEXT). If there are more data
sets/files, you should use extended extract records ('X' - macro EDGRXEXT).
Also if, 'volcnt' is supposed to be the number of volumes in the multi-volume
set, you need X records, and to use XVVOLCNT field.
RVUSE is the number of time a volume has been used - it equates to the number
of times any data set on the volume has been opened.
Look at the multi-volume, multi-data set report created by the Rexx reporting -
REPORT11.
And if you want something different but similar, start with EDGGR11 in the
report generator.

Catalog Device Type Conversion
I know this must have been discussed in the past but a search of the archives has not turned up a definitive answer. We are working with a tape hardware migration solution that may end up with us needing to change the device type code in MVS catalog records for existing tape data sets. The data sets will not be recreated but the catalog device type codes may need to be updated to direct device allocation to use the new devices rather than the old devices for input data sets. The MVS catalog has never been my area of expertise so this raises a few questions. 1. What do we use for the catalog update? Are there any z/OS provided facilities to do this or does a custom solution need to be developed? Doing some searching has only turned up Dave Cartwright's ICF3490 program from the CBTTAPE File 172 which does direct catalog record updates. This could be adapted, but are there better techniques to get this update done? 2. Does anything need to be done, in the catalog records, for handling of an esoteric (that is, an esoteric used at data set creation time)? I'm not an allocation expert but from recent observations it seems to me that device selection for input tape data set allocation is somehow influenced by the creation esoteric and not just by the device type code. Is this true or was it just happenstance? 3. Are any changes necessary to a tape management system's TMC for a dynamically changed device type? Of the five TMS'es we support, I don't recall any of them doing anything device type dependent that would override or conflict with the MVS allocation selection, but if there is something to be concerned about here I'd like to know about it beforehand.

Re: Catalog Device Type Conversion
There may be other considerations dependant on the device type moving from an to. But when we have gone to a newer drive that was backward compatible, the device type in the MVS catalog didn't get changed. The newer drives would read the older tapes with no change to the MVS catalog. CA-1 doesn't care about the MVS catalog in this regard. We moved from 3480 (18 track) to 3490E (36 track).

We are working with a tape hardware migration solution that may end up with us needing to change the device type code in MVS catalog records for existing tape data sets. The data sets will not be recreated but the catalog device type codes may need to be updated to direct device allocation to use the new devices rather than the old devices for input data sets. The MVS catalog has never been my area of expertise so this raises a few questions. 1. What do we use for the catalog update? Are there any z/OS provided facilities to do this or does a custom solution need to be developed? Doing some searching has only turned up Dave Cartwright's ICF3490 program from the CBTTAPE File 172 which does direct catalog record updates. This could be adapted, but are there better techniques to get this update done? 2. Does anything need to be done, in the catalog records, for handling of an esoteric (that is, an esoteric used at data set creation time)? I'm not an allocation expert but from recent observations it seems to me that device selection for input tape data set allocation is somehow influenced by the creation esoteric and not just by the device type code. Is this true or was it just happenstance? 3. Are any changes necessary to a tape management system's TMC for a dynamically changed device type? Of the five TMS'es we support, I don't recall any of them doing anything device type dependent that would override or conflict with the MVS allocation selection, but if there is something to be concerned about here I'd like to know about it beforehand. Thanks for any input you may offer.

WSCON/FILEXFER problems
I've got a set of execs http://www.cbttape.org/ftp/cbt/CBT769.zip that convert legacy languages into fancy HTML and optionally transfer the result of the conversion to a PC and start a browser. Recently someone told me that this latter functionality is broken, and after some investigation it seems that the old method of connecting to the WSA, i.e. ispexec select pgm(ispwscd) parm(wscon,panel) no longer works, although looking at the ISPCMDS command table, this is exactly the action for the WSCON verb. The new method, skeleton X3 tells me to use ispexec wscon ip(ipaddr) title(title) codepage(1140) ||, charset(0695) noguidsp panel(onerror) with ipaddr and title containing an IP address and a string of max 64 characters. When I tried this in a simple exec, i.e. /* REXX */ h = 'prino.#s0c7.exec.html' w = 'd:\#s0c7.exec.html' /* Will start Firefox on doze */ connected = 0 was_connected = 0 /* Is user already connected to workstation? */ ispexec vget (zwscon) shared if rc = 8 |, zwscon = '' then do was_connected = 0 /* Start connection and check that we're really connected */ ip= '192.168.1.2' title = 'Prino' ispexec wscon ip(ip) title(title) codepage(1140) ||, charset(0695) noguidsp panel(onerror) if rc = 0 then connected = 1 end else do connected = 1 was_connected = 1 end /* Issue message if still no connection exists */ if connected = 0 then ispexec setmsg msg(ispp605) else do ispexec filexfer host(h) ws(w) to(ws) text ispexec select wscmd(w) modeless min invis /* Only close connection to the workstation if it hadn't been estabished before this exec */ if was_connected = 0 then ispexec wsdiscon end the code works flawlessly, but when I put the following code replacement code inside EHISUPP (from the above archive on the CBT Tape site), /*** * XFER_AND_SHOW_HTML: * * * * Transfer the html file to the PC via ISPF Workstation Agent and * * start the application associated with extension .html* ***/ xfer_and_show_html: parse value data with sep ',' dir_pc (sep), htmlfile (sep), odsn (sep), start_browser /* * Format the name of the html file for PC* */ if right(dir_pc, 2) \= ':\' then dir_pc = strip(dir_pc, 'T', '/') || '/' w = dir_pc || htmlfile connected = 0 was_connected = 0 /* * Is user already connected to workstation? * */ ispexec vget (zwscon) shared if rc = 8 |, zwscon = '' then do was_connected = 0 /* * Start connection and check that we're really connected * */ title = strip(left(htmlfile, 64)) ip = '192.168.1.2' /* Use your own IP address */ ispexec wscon ip(ip) ||, title(title)||, codepage(1140) ||, charset(0695) ||, noguidsp||, /* panel(yes) /* OK */ panel(no) /* RC = 8 */ */ panel(onerror) /* RC = 8 */ if rc = 0 then connected = 1 end else do connected = 1 was_connected = 1 end /* * Issue message if still no connection exists* */ if connected = 0 then ispexec setmsg msg(ispp605) else do h = odsn /* * Put filenames in the ISPF pool transfer file to PC * */ ispexec filexfer host(h) ws(w) to(ws) text /* * and optionally start the corresponding browser * */ if translate(left(start_browser, 1)) = 'Y' then ispexec select wscmd(w) modeless min invis
Re: HMC EoR SWITCH (mail settings test)
Both looked fine to me, but the replies get excessively flowed by the replier's client.

Its just my Humble Request :) I wish I would. It was discussed here on the forum, as well off-list. The problem occurs ONLY with GMAIL account (and AFAIR it has to be reply, not start of thread). And it regards only the messages sent to listerver. When I send the message directly to GMAIL account the problem does not occur. My email client - Thunderbird is set correctly and the problem is on GMAIL side. THE ABOVE IS OPINION OF SOME FOLKS ON THE LIST, not mine. I can say I use the same client for years and do not play with the settings. However I would be happy to fix the problem (neverming whether it's GMAIL fault), but ...how?
