CBT Usermod Collection for ISPF (CUCI) V1R7 RELEASED!
FYI, I'm pleased to announce Version 1 Release 7 of the CBT Usermods Collection for ISPF (CUCI), available at http://www.cbttape.org. If you want EDIT highlighting for other languages, if you want useful modifications to ISPF panels, if you want a way to set default ISPF options that are not in the ISPCCONF dialog, then CUCI is for you! V1R7 contains the following enhancements (both RFE's and the new z Idea Portal enhancements are provided in this release) and maintenance items: Total RFEs delivered to date: 39 Total IBM Ideas delivered to date: 03 ZOS-I-3292 - ISPF Enhanced PANEL Edit Highlighting ZOS-I-2852 - ISPF Edit highlighting for R RFE 154404 - ISPF Edit highlighting for R ZOS-I-2174 - HILITE PLI - End-of-line Comment // support (requires OA62409) RFE 144625 - HILITE PLI - End-of-line Comment // support (requires OA62409) - Interrogate ZHIPAREN to determine if parens should be highlighted for FLOWASM (requires OA62409) - Add code to bypass highlighting Top of Data, Bottom of Data, blank lines, and MSG, NOTE, etc. lines. - Eliminate extraneous and unnecessary code for performance. - Fix JCL errors in $MANHACJ when assembling ISRPXASM. *** Thanks to Lionel Dyck for this update!! *** - Fix error in ISR@PRIM which caused the USRCCONF keyword file name and output file content option not to be saved. - Alter language for message USRL001 to be more clear and to add R and PANELX language support. - Miscellaneous cleanup of various installation members This new release adds highlighting support for 2 more languages, bringing the total number of supported languages to 20: ACS (much better than CLIST highlighting) CARLA FLOWASM FORTRAN GO JAVA JAVASCRIPT JSON KOTLIN PANELX (panel highlighting the way it should have been from the beginning) PERL PHP PYTHON R (the R statistics language, available as a Rocket Ported Tool) RUBY SAS (could use some help here, there are thousands more keywords to identify) SHELL SQL TYPESCRIPT XMLASCII (a must if you're working with or customizing z/OSMF workflows) Ideas and contributions are always welcome, so download CUCI and try it out. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions or concerns. -- Regards, Tom Conley -- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN

Apologies if this seems rash.

Re: Use of zCX
As an observer, I reckon IBM are forced to use OpenShift because they've got to get RedHat in there. Also, since everyone knows the word Docker now, the Z "has to have it". Surely the industry is now waking up to the mess that is the Kubernetes ecoystem mgmt., service MESS. I do wonder... for those who thought setting up zOSMF RACF was painful, what their journey will be for zCX and OpenShift. Just saying, "it's free because zIIP" doesn't make it good. No Ferrari owner should be "compelled" to use a unicycle's wheel just because it's free. IMHO, "Me too" solutions are seriously ruining the reputation of the Z with the ridiculous CPU, memory, storage requirements. I thought it was ridiculous that RDz wanted a few gigabytes of memory for the JVM. Rebadged oldware, with web stack & interface from early 2010s, are now coming to compete with Chrome, in their lust for memory and such. - KB --- Original Message --- On Thursday, April 21st, 2022 at 4:22 AM, Tony Harminc wrote: > On Wed, 20 Apr 2022 at 18:00, Robert Garrett rob...@garrettfamily.us wrote: > > [...] > > > It likes a LOT of real memory and it appears that the running instance > > consumes the full amount of real memory allocated to it for the duration, > > making it unavailable to zOS for paging or any other use.

Re: Use of zCX
A well timed question. We are also exploring zCX and would like to know how widely it has been adopted. There is no doubt that customers can save a lot of money by exploiting zCX workloads running on zIIPs. There's an interesting paper from IBM WRT offloading MQ workloads https://ibm-messaging.github.io/mqperf/MQ%20with%20zCX.pdf. Of course, zIIPs don't come for free. OpenShift is fantastic but the system requirements are eye-watering. It's certainly an investment.

The IBM equipment will not talk to the IBM software. So much for the mainframe and dasd being a full network citizen like other platforms. I am not irritated enough to request an enhancement to either the mainframe code OR the DS8884 code. The process is long and convoluted and 'designed by committee'.
