Reread it ('Syntax rules for BPXPRMxx') again. Use the example as listed in the

Letter y in security is in wrong place assuming M in MOUNT is in column 1.

Hi Elardus,
I have specified the letter 'Y' at the 71st column and I have continued the

Re: O/T What ‘The Imitation Game’ didn’t tell you about Turing’s greatest triumph - The Washington Post
In the original Email that I received from Ed the Email source text (as opposed to the way my Email client renders it) shows the presence of a hex-encoded blank (= 2 0) followed by a CR at about the 70-character mark in the two places where the original URL later gets separated when quoted. I'm not sure who or what is producing or introducing this URL formatting as it is definitely not part of the actual URL. My Thunderbird Email client seems to partly realize that the extra characters are not a legitimate part of the URL and when displaying the Email elides the three parts without a blank or forced CR, but the part rendered in blue as a link and the part passed as the URL when clicking on the link stops at the first = 2 0 CR point, so the passed URL from the link doesn't work in my browser. This is certainly a confusing inconsistency in Thunderbird if not an out-right bug (depends on whether this way of wrapping long character strings is actually an approved Email standard). Apparently some other Email clients do interpret it in a way that preserves the link. On the other hand there are certainly Email clients that send long URLs without using this formatting convention, as I frequently receive long URLs in Emails (including the reformatted version of this URL from Paul) that work fine with Thunderbird.

Hi, I got no takers on this one. I called IBM but nothing appeared to jump out documenting what a G does. It may be doing a STARTSC OFF command.

Re: DFSMS: Can CDSs and UCAT, be SMS managed or not ??
Caveat: insert the daily delay for listServ digestion here... Small v1.12 monoplex shop. Our (my) mandate is that unless there's a good/valid reason/justification, any given dataset should be SMS managed. [1] As such, my CDSs are non-managed [2] since I inherited them that way and see no reason/benefit to change; being all of 5 cylinders each. All my uCats are managed and directed to a restricted access pool along with (non-z/OS) LinkList, procLibs, and zUnix root(s). DB2 uCats are pooled with the table/index spaces strictly for FlashCopy consistency. [3] z/OS volumes are non-managed because the guy in charge won't consider SMS at all. He manages those volumes himself and the StorClas ACS routine has specific code to avoid them. [1] The mCat(s) are on those volumes as well. Follow-up tips: 1) I have multiple ACDS on different volumes; 3 of which include FAILOVR in their name. As part of the process to harden/finalize a new configuration, I issue SETSMS SAVEACDS(ACDS.FAILOVR#) for each. It allows me to endure 3 volume failures [4] before I need to panic; using SETSMS ACDS(ACDS.FAILOVR#). I have the same for the CommDS. 2) One housekeeping item to consider is moving APF-only ie. not LinkList as well, datasets to SMS managed. Then, the ParmLib APF entries use the volume *SMS* and they can be moved around if/as desired ie. HSM interval processing, FDRMove. [1] My ACS routine(s) auto-assign class values unless specifically directed not to ie. StorClas=[nonSMS | None], volSer=nonSMS, HLQ=nonSMS, etc. [2] I am prepared for the eventuality by including them in the DataSet Separation profile. [3] We had catalogue consistency problems with DR when the uCats were in a different pool and backed up at a different time of day. That led to moving them into the same storage pool. [4] Although Rad will point out that 'volumes' are strictly a logical construct not actually reflected in the physical storage medium. *grin* signature = 6 lines follows Neil Duffee, Joe Sysprog, uOttawa, Ottawa, Ont, Canada telephone:1 613 562 5800 x4585 fax:1 613 562 5161 mailto:NDuffee of uOttawa.ca http:/ /aix1.uOttawa.ca/ ~nduffee “How *do* you plan for something like that?” Guardian Bob, Reboot “For every action, there is an equal and opposite criticism.” “Systems Programming: Guilty, until proven innocent” John Norgauer 2004 -Original Message- From: Toni Cecil [mailto:ac...@gma...com] Sent: February 22, 2015 13:34 Subject: Re: DFSMS: Can CDSs and UCAT, be SMS managed or not ??

Re: A possible bug in the IBM Runtimne C library
Obviously, I know that and I realized that the issue is integral boundaries! I am dealing with COBOL, not PL/I but the real issue was that the order is the other way around (i.e. the fullword is first and the halfword is second, leaving a two bytes gap unaccounted for after every pair. So I resolved it by adding a dummy two bytes variable in the end of each pair: 10 A PIC 9(9) COMP-5. 10 B PIC 9(4) COMP-5. 10 FILLER PIC XX.=== compensating for the integral boundary of the next pair 10 D PIC 9(9) COMP-5. 10 E PIC 9(4) COMP-5. 10 FILLER PIC XX.=== compensating for the integral boundary of the next element This works fine.

Well, one answer would be that it is step 5 of a 14-step batch job. Another answer would be because I don't have a Solaris system, know nothing about them, and have my plate full already of stuff that I AM supposed to be learning and that is of more interest to me. g Charles -Original Message- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU] On Behalf Of Paul Gilmartin Sent: Monday, February 23, 2015 4:50 PM To: IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU Subject: Re: Delete all members from PDS with symbolic in name?

RFC 822 requires support for up to 999. Format-flowed says that long lines are split with each line ending in =20CR. Each split line should be no longer than 80 characters (including the =20CR). Your input meets this format. The =20CR is removed and the next line is concatenated until a line does NOT end with =20CR. At that point you have the original long input line. This requires that the receiving MUA support Format-flowed however. Apparently some other Email clients do interpret it in a way that preserves the link. On the other hand there are certainly Email clients that send long URLs without using this formatting convention, as I frequently receive long URLs in Emails (including the reformatted version of this URL from Paul) that work fine with Thunderbird. See my prior message. The URL was malformed since it was not included in angle brackets. URLs without angle brackets are part of the text and are not indicated as URLs - Thus may not be spotted for special treatment.

Re: IEASYMxx: How is possible define more than one LPARNAME at same time in SYSDEF?
1. You always name the 'other guy' with CTC addresses, never yourself, because in the world of CTCs, you cannot talk to yourself. 2. It helps immensely to have a strict CTC addressing convention. I've discussed the topic here in the past. I presented a SHARE session on it some time ago. 3. Even without a strict naming convention, you can set up IEASYMxx to handle various situations. Basically for an LPAR that 'moves' in DR, you would need to specify a different CTC address. For one that does not move, you specify the same address. 4. All of this can be controlled by judicious use of LOADxx and IEASYMxx. No operator commands are required. . . .

Or are both addresses defined to the same HWNAME? I glanced at both MVS Init Tuning Reference and Setting up a Sysplex, but didn't find a good description of the behavior (or benefits?) of specifying multiple devices. I interpreted the OP's question to relate more on how to handle the TEST systems when PROD systems move around, and was going to suggest using SETXCF MODIFY command on the TEST LPARs to specify new Inbound/Outbound addresses for the new PROD connections. Symbolics could still be used in that case, defining normal operations addresses, and FDR addresses when PROD is on alternate hardware.
