I used COBOL (19)61 and COBOL (19)63 on an RCA 301 in the 1963 - 1965
timeframe, then started with COBOL D on a 32K 360/30 with DOS
progressing to COBOL F on either the 64K mod 30 or 128K mod 40.  I
think I have used most versions on OS360 through MVS/XA in the time
frame 1977 - 1991 plus VS COBOL II release 1.4 (a major improvement)
followed by either COBOL 370 or COBOL for MVS and VM.

I came to the platform in 1968 and COBOL definitely beat me to it.

Tom,
Thank you for the table.
Actually I found some table in COBOL Migration Guide manual
https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/hu/SS6SG3_6.3.0/migrate/igymprea
b2.html 

but your table is more detailed - I mean dates.
To make things more complex your table lack of third dimension ;-) I 
mean MLC vs VUE flavours, which is technically irrelevant, but introduce 
new PIDs (program numbers).
And this is good you preserved version numbering - that simplifies 
identification.

Funny fact: I vaguely remember 1999 and some official announcements 
about OS/VS COBOL withdrawals which were obscure and incomprehensible 
for me at the time. ;-)

BTW: This is pure curiosity, however was there any COBOL life on earth 
before 1974? I'm sure it was some COBOL, but it was really looong time 
ago. Maybe different product packaging and numbering, etc.

Regards

Tom,
Thank you for the table.
Actually I found some table in COBOL Migration Guide manual
https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/hu/SS6SG3_6.3.0/migrate/igympreab2.html 


but your table is more detailed - I mean dates.
To make things more complex your table lack of third dimension ;-) I 
mean MLC vs VUE flavours, which is technically irrelevant, but introduce 
new PIDs (program numbers).
And this is good you preserved version numbering - that simplifies 
identification.


Funny fact: I vaguely remember 1999 and some official announcements 
about OS/VS COBOL withdrawals which were obscure and incomprehensible 
for me at the time. ;-)


BTW: This is pure curiosity, however was there any COBOL life on earth 
before 1974? I'm sure it was some COBOL, but it was really looong time 
ago. Maybe different product packaging and numbering, etc.


Regards

Looking at the example  I suspect the OP followed, from:

https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/system/files/inline-files/CSM_Session_automation_v1.1.pdf

o It fails to supply stdin
o It supplies a PATH which probably doesn't contain "echo".

This ought to be worthy of an RCF.  The author should have tested his Exec
under IRXJCL.

Why "address tso"?  I see no TSO commands.

Hi,
I would like to automate some csm (Copy services manager) from z/OS.
I installed csmcli on z/OS, and if I run csmcli.sh from the omvs shell, it 
works ok.
I found the TechDoc named 'IBM Copy Services Manager session automation' by 
Thomas Luther which has a rexx program that sets up the environment to run 
csmcli.sh, get the output from it, and act upon the results.

The rexx program uses bpxwunix to call cshcli.sh
When I run the rexx program (whether under tso or in batch) I get lots of error 
messages.
I added an echo command at the beginning of csmcli.sh so I will know when it 
starts.
The command I added is 'echo "start csmcli.sh"'
When I run it from the omvs shell, it works fine.
When I run it from tso I get:
echo: csmcli.sh 10: FSUM7351 not found

Does this mean that it can't find the echo command?

How can I fix this?

There is no 'partial license' for CICS that would include the
'translator services' that are called by the COBOL compiler.

You must have the CICS product in order to compile COBOL programs
that have CICS statements in them.

Hi Joseph,

(posted on behalf of a colleague)

The M_WSA class is for Metal C reentrancy support. The PART name there is what 
references the objects that are re-entrant. In the user's case, they have 
openfile listed as a part meaning that either the function is considered an 
object (not a function) that is reentrant (perhaps due to the expansion of the 
BOOL macro in their environment) or that they have another reentrant object 
somewhere that is named ‘openfile’ (they can pre-process the source to check 
which case it is). The error they get from the assembler indicates the latter 
case. i.e. They have another definition or reference to an object named 
‘openfile’ somewhere in their source (or their include file chain).


Hope this helps?

2021-01-06 Thread Robert Prins
I just had a look at this, to see how Tom Conley had implemented user-defined 
highlighting (using the USRHILIT REXX panel-exit) for non-ISPF supported 
languages, and I've made a suggestion to make a change that may make it easier 
to keep the various keyword and colouring REXX stems easier in sync. In essence, 
I'm replacing the


kw. = 4

kw.1= ' ALLOCATE '
kw.2= ' BDAMQSAM '
kw.3= ' BUNDLE '
kw.4= ' CAPS '

atr.1   = ''
atr.2   = ''
atr.3   = 'DD'
atr.4   = ''

clr.1   = ''
clr.2   = ''
atr.3   = 'RR'
clr.4   = ''

with

kw.  = -1
atr. = -1
clr. = -1

and just the kw.x'es above and start the remainder of the code with

do ! = 1 by 1 while kw.! \= -1
  if atr.! \= -1 then/* already user-set */
atr.! = translate(strip(kw.!), 'DD',,
   'ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ_-12')
  if clr.! \= -1 then/* already user-set */
clr.! = translate(strip(kw.!), 'RRRDDD',,
   'ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ_-12')
end

I'm five-nines certain that this will be slower than the direct assignments 
(there are 295 keywords for SQL), but it will/should/might make maintaining them 
a bit easier, and it will definitely reduce the size of the code.


I've also replaced his bracket/brace highlighting code with code I use in my 
EHIxxx execs in CBT Tape 769, basically storing attributes to be used in a stem 
(starting at stem.0) and just using the // (modulo) operator, without a "if rem 
= 0 then rem = 5" follow-up, which Tom has already  commented on with a 
"hbcolor.0 as other than the number of stems in hbcolor offends my 
sensibilities, so I'll have to give that one some thought ;-)"


A follow-up email to him also suggested, as yet not tested, that his way of 
highlighting "superfluous" closing brackets/braces will be incorrect when the 
opening bracket/brace is off-screen, as USRHILIT, unlike ISPF HILITE, only looks 
at the on-screen data.


But returning to the kw./atr./crl. stems, I seem to remember a discussion in a 
grey past on the long gone MVSHELP.COM forum that multiple assignments can be 
made really, really fast by using "parse", like Dough Nadel himself does in his 
code to add highlighting to SDSF, i.e.


parse value '0 R' with jclwords.0 jcolor. jlen.

By stringing all keywords together with suitable separators, a single statement 
could initialise the whole "kw." stem, and four more statements could initialise 
the "atr." and "clr." stems. (Yes four, it's left to the reader to figure out 
the two non-"parse" ones)


Would this be faster? I'd would appreciate it if someone could give it a try, as 
this is a panel-exit that's invoked every time a user presses Enter!


Robert

PS: And lastly, given that ISPF seems to have been more-or-less abandoned by IBM 
in favour of "whiter and shinier" "alternatives", wouldn't it make sense to 
engage Share and Guide into possibly convincing IBM to open(ish)-source it? Or 
do what they did with JES3, if there's anyone up to it?

The BPXWUNIX example is amateurish; the author doesn't know Rexx very well.
He clearly doesn't understand that RETURN restores the parent addressing
environment.

Did you change the HOME and PATH ENVIRONMENT variables?

I'll suggest prefixing each "USS" command with "set -x; "

Yes.

Try "PATH=/opt/IBM/CSM/CLI/:/bin"

Check that all the directories mentioned by Rexx exist.

What was the exact call that you used and did you provide a PATH in the 
environment parameter?  Since there is no login shell, things don't get 
initialized the way you might expect.

Subject: Problem executing bpxwunix

Hi,
I would like to automate some csm (Copy services manager) from z/OS.
I installed csmcli on z/OS, and if I run csmcli.sh from the omvs shell, it 
works ok.
I found the TechDoc named 'IBM Copy Services Manager session automation' by 
Thomas Luther which has a rexx program that sets up the environment to run 
csmcli.sh, get the output from it, and act upon the results.

The rexx program uses bpxwunix to call cshcli.sh
When I run the rexx program (whether under tso or in batch) I get lots of error 
messages.
I added an echo command at the beginning of csmcli.sh so I will know when it 
starts.
The command I added is 'echo "start csmcli.sh"'
When I run it from the omvs shell, it works fine.
When I run it from tso I get:
echo: csmcli.sh 10: FSUM7351 not found

Does this mean that it can't find the echo command?

How can I fix this?

Gadi

CICS COBOL co-compiler licensing?

There is no 'partial license' for CICS that would include the
'translator services' that are called by the COBOL compiler.

You must have the CICS product in order to compile COBOL programs
that have CICS statements in them.
