PS lightning. But IIRC green, which isnt'exactly usual for ordinary
lightning. Didn't Mike Cowlishaw do some work on (or with) GDDM? I
seem to remember that he mentioned the PS lightning in a doc.

Re: FTP-SSL from z/OS client to Linux

[Steve Pryor]

I thought perhaps that was it, since I didn't (previously) have the entire CA 
certificate chain on the keyring and I don't think the certificate was being 
presented. But I've corrected that and it seems to be using the correct 
certificate according to the trace below. But I'm still getting the same ' 
Content type 53 is not supported' error. Perhaps I'm not understanding 
something in the trace?

Re: Assembler - Authorized program debug

[David Crayford]

I devoted a weekend to learn Vim and by the end of it was proficient. In 
the years since I've bonded with it to stage where I really struggle 
when I go back to ISPF. Luckily my emulator (Vista) supports keyboard 
shortcuts like CNTL+D to delete words, CNTL+left/CNTL+right to jump 
words and CNTL+E to jump to the end-of-line.


Vim is only useful if you can touch type. If you have to look at the 
keyboard it's not worth the effort.

Re: FTP-SSL from z/OS client to Linux

[John S. Giltner, Jr.]

It's been awhile, but it looks like the Linux server is requesting your SSL 
certificate as a client, but is not passing a list of CA's that it trusts.

When the server requests the client to send it's client cert, it supposed to 
tell the client what CA's is trusts.   Some clients will ignore the fact that 
the server did not do this, and just send the default cert it has on it's 
keyring.  The IBM client will not.

That is what I opened the PMR for and IBM said that  FTP does not pass 
GSK_V3_CIPHER_SPECS_EXPANDED to System SSL.  To get any of the 4 character

FTP-SSL from z/OS client to Linux

I'm sure I must be missing something here. I'm trying to FTPS from the z/OS 2.2

SC2852 sendCmd: entered

It wasn't quite clear what the 410 indicates, so I got an SSL trace:

Re: Identifying "New Function" APARs

[Cheryl Watson Walker]

Thanks, KB, for the reference.  We also mentioned a SHARE blog post from Marna 
Walle on June 2018, where she gives a link to an IBM site that provides a list 
of all New Function APARs.  The list is also available in csv format.  So, I 
think it would be fairly simply to create control statements from the 
spreadsheet.  This has been available for almost five years now, so everyone 
should have the link.  (See our Tuning Letter 2016 No. 3, page 94.)  Just 
remember that it's a very long list, which is why we summarize them every 
quarter.

Marna's blog post - 
https://www.share.org/blog/new-function-apars-are-great-to-follow

IBM site for New Function APARs - https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/node/665131

Thanks to Marna and the developers for providing this site in response to a 
SHARE requirement that we requested.

Same with all of the other registers that look like addresses. Not one

included in the SUMDUMP and KEY information seems to be routinely provided.


Perhaps there is some pathological situation where that information 
doesn't display?

Re: z/OS ssh git issue

[Lionel B Dyck]

I have in the environment on this system and on the working systems.

_BPXK_AUTOCVT=ON   
_CEE_RUNOPTS=FILETAG(AUTOCVT,AUTOTAG) POSIX(ON)

And I'm not sure which files you are asking about being tagged?

My ssh keys are untagged if that is your question - the same as on my working 
system.

I couldn't find any difference between the bad system and the others.

Do you have any pointers on where I should have looked as I could easily have 
missed something?

Re: Assembler - Authorized program debug

There are many ISPF, Wylbur and XEDIT clones; I don't know of one that can't 
deal with column ranges. There are even some free clones.

Hi David,
I like VI(m) too.
I'd like to point out, however, that ISPF and XEDIT allow the user to
restrict edits to a column range.
This capability AFAIK is ONLY available on Mainframe.

Re: Assembler - Authorized program debug

[René Jansen]

If you like ISPF (like me!) have a look at LSPF at 
https://github.com/daniel64/lspf . 

If it seems tricky to build, I have a Docker container at 
https://hub.docker.com/r/rvjansen/lspf/tags?page=1&ordering=last_updated

:1 will also jump to the top. 'g' isn't a command, it's used to escape 
although people assume it's goto as it's used to jump around the buffer.


I can remember when I first started learning vim I didn't find it 
particularly intuitive. Once I got over the initial learning curve it 
all made perfect sense. People like vim because its design philosophy 
echos that of Unix. In both Unix and in vim, you have a collection of 
atomic commands that perform one task well. More complicated tasks are 
done by combining the smaller predefined tasks. For example, the vim 
command dl deletes the next character,  dw deletes the next word, and 
db deletes the previous word. Here, d represents the delete operator 
and must be followed by a movement task. lt means move to the next 
character. w for the next word and b for the previous word. d2b will 
delete the previous 2 words. dtx will delete every character up to the 
next x in the current line.  Once you grok this you won't want to use 
another editor as you will find them unproductive. I also use 
Slickedit and Intellij IDEA and I have Vim emulation running in both. 
The key design is maximum economy of keystrokes. Your hand should be 
glued to the home row. I've remapped the Windows caps lock key to ESC 
(single key) and CNTL (multiple keys) to make this easier.


BTW, no need to google. Vim has excellent help. Just type :h motion

Re: Identifying "New Function" APARs

[kekronbekron]

You'll find most of what's new in these 3 places -

1. Marna Walle's sesssions about v2r4 in SHARE, CMG, GSE, TechDocs as 
applicable.

2. NewEra - http://www.newera-info.com/eBooks.html
The form for accessing the PDF is broken, but I'm sure you can contact them & 
find out.

3. v2r4 coverage in Cheryl Watson's newsletter(s)



PS: TechDocs is basically beyond useless now. The search function might as well 
be a picture of a stone.
We're losing access to so much great content because of someone's ego.
