As I understand things, this really has nothing to do with z/OS V2R1. Not sure why it's in the announcement. How else would (or should) we let people know? I was under the impression that this secure FTP requirement was across-the-board and not just z/OS 2.1. Perhaps I'm wrong. IBM is not limited to one announcement per Tuesday.

IEFUSI and SYS.PROCLIB(INIT)
Can the IEFUSI exit be used to control the above-the-16mline-limit for the INIT address space? Specifically, I have a IEFUSI exit coded that indeed does look for a REGION=0M and then correctly changes the above the line limit to x'7fff' (about 1.57gb). However, when I code a REGION=0M in the INIT PROC (the one that does EXEC PGM=IEFIIC and restart the initiator, it still shows (as observed by a monitoring product) an above-the-line limit of 32M. I have verified that SMFPRMxx is correct, as other started tasks will correctly get changed by IEFUSI to the 1.57gb limit. It seems it is only the INIT EXEC PGM=IEFIIC that doesn't get changed. The documentation for SCHEDxx PPT says IEFIIC will honor IEFUSI requests. Is there something I am overlooking here? Thank you.

If they are planning on implementing stdio-ext then that will make porting the likes of autotools much, much easier. And if autotools can be ported then so can lots more FOSS that requires it. Additional file I/O programming interfaces for z/OS UNIX System Services. These interfaces, while not part of a formal UNIX standard, have been implemented on other UNIX platforms, and are planned to be provided with a new header . This is intended to make it improve the portability for these applications between z/OS and other UNIX platforms.

The region limits shouldn't be of interest while an initiator address space is idle.

Limit on parallel TSO User address spaces started via CEA
Does anyone know why the number of TSO user address spaces that can be started in any given lpar via CEA services is limited to 50? MVS Programming: Callable Services for High-Level Languages is fairly firm in stating this: The CEA TSO/E address space manager can create up to 10 concurrent address spaces for a single user, and can create a maximum of 50 concurrent TSO/E address spaces. You can use the same processes that you use to work with other TSO/E address spaces when working with the TSO/E address spaces that are created by the CEA TSO/E address space manager. I would like to know what imposes this limit and if there are plans to lift it.

I think those are arbitrary limits, for the purpose of preventing an errant program or user from using too many address spaces, and also for allocating the storage for the table which is used to keep track of these address spaces. Do you have a scenario where these limits would be too low for your installation's intended use of this function? Jim Mulder z/OS System Test IBM Corp.
