There have been a couple of good programs on H2(History Channel) in the  
past year. One was on the construction of MT Rushmore (Jefferson's nose had a  
crack). They were originally supposed to be full sized
figures. Then there was one on America's secrets and the secret vault.  
Think it was referenced on Ancient astronauts, but I'm pretty far gone by the  
time these come on. WWII came along and killed off funding.
 
In progress is Crazy Horse's monument.

It looks to be spectacular if completed. CNN had a review a couple  months 
back and the face is just mesmerizing. Didn't say anything about records  or 
Lakota nation other than it was a swap for MT Rushmore  land.

Sixteen porcelain enamel panels containing the text from the
Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, and the Bill of Rights,
along with a biography of Borglum, and the story of the presidents,
were sealed in a teakwood box, then placed in a titanium vault, and
finally sealed shut under the weight of a 1,200 pound granite capstone
inside the unfinished hall.

Fixed point overflow and PL/1

2015-03-21 Thread Binyamin Dissen
I cannot seem to force fixed point overflow under PL/1. Specified (FOFL) as a
statement qualifier and it does not seem to affect the compile.

Even used CEE3SPM.

Should you use the mailblocks package and expect a response from me,
you should preauthorize the dissensoftware.com domain.

I very rarely bother responding to challenge/response systems,
especially those from irresponsible companies.

I believe I've read (perhaps even in these pages) that:

o The C standard states:
  - The value resulting from an operation on signed operands when
the mathematical result is outside the value set of the result time
is implementation-defined.
  - It does not state that an error is allowed to occur.
  - Many C programmers rely on the assumption that no error will
be reported, perhaps even assuming it will be treated modulo(
cardinality( value set ) ).

o The C compiler and runtime are coming increasingly to share
  code with PL/1, so in order to accommodate the C carelessness
  the common compiler backend and runtime no longer report
  integer overflows.

I'm dismayed.  But I'm likewise dismayed that HLASM tolerates
division by zero in assembly-time arithmetic.

Announcing API copybooks between COBOL and the POSIX compliant regular expression standard functions

2015-03-21 Thread Ze'ev Atlas
IBM provides standard POSIX compliant regular expression functions that are 
available both for classic z/OS and UNIX.  Similarly, such services are 
available in all POSIX compliant Linux implementations.
I gave developed a set of COPYBOOKS that provide standard API between COBOL and 
those services.  My demo program compiles on IBM Enterprise COBOL 5.1 and 
demonstrates the use under classic z/OS.
I attempted to create similar copybooks to use with GNU COBOL under Linux, but 
there appears to be a bug in GNU COBOL call sequence.  The GNU COBOL team is 
aware about the situation and will try to fix the issue.
The package is available on CBTTAPE, file 928 as well as on my website
