Re: General Query --- Any comments on thin clients as mainframe consoles.

[Brian Westerman]

There are advantages to Windows and Linux based PC's because they will be able 
to use the extra capabilities of the emulators they use to emulate the 3270's.  
But you are completely correct that you probably don't want very large PC's 
because most operators would likely use them to play call of duty.  Some site 
use the little micro PC's (very underpowered mini PC's made by companies like 
BEELINK and INTEL and some others), but still others use thin clients,

All they really need is that ability to load the emulator and provide the 
operators with a big screen.  I have found that the bigger the better and also 
I have found that using automation products (like the one Syzygy makes 
SyzMPF/z) to change the attributes of the "important" messages to be Bright red 
or reverse video works well.  

When a job starts, it changes the started message to reverse video green, then 
when the jobs end, if it ends with code zero, it's again reverse video green, 
if it's between zero and 4, it used reverse blue, between 5 and 8 gets reverse 
yellow for some things and reverse Pink for production stuff, and anything 
above that (or an abend) gets reverse video RED.  The operators can then "see" 
without thinking about it if something went wrong.  The same is done to 
important messages, but those are mostly just highlighted.  Also, if it's 
really important, we alter the mode of the console that they are using from 
roll mode (which no matter what we tell them they use anyway at almost all 
sites), to RD mode.  We also (when something important happens), send them 
email and text messages, which they tend to like because they don't have to 
"stare at the screen".

The idea is to make them more productive if you can.

Re: Checksum of "legacy" load module?

[Mike Schwab]

A load module consists of some txt records, where the entry points and
external variables are deifined, then a short record followed by a
block of binary instruction in a multiple of 1K.  During copy /
compress / restore of a module, the binary machine code is regrouped
into different sized blocks that are multiple of 1K to fit into the
space available on that track (which is highly variable based on the
earlier contents of that load module library, and between the multiple
of 1K machine code blocks is a short block.  So if you ignore the
small blocks, and ignore the record boundaries of the big blocks, that
portion should be identical.  Then you might see some differences in
the TXT records at the start or in the binary machine code.  (order of
TXT item, time stamps, PTF levels),

Re: EXTERNAL: CIBXUTOK fetch protected

They say that the memory is the second thing to fail.

OS/VS, including MVS, reflects 004 as S0C$ and 005 as S0C%, although the latter 
is rare on OS/VS systems. However, OS/VS also reflects some other codes as 
S0C4, e.g., reference to an unallocated page.

By the time you get to z/OS there are a lot more fingers in the pie.

This is a pointless discussion. Protecting this storage will break myriad

ISVs to use. I would predict that even if IBM did it, people would turn it
off so they could get work done. (Think early days of Windows UAC-and yes,
that got better, but with significant investment in/revamp of Windows, plus
it's mostly transparent to programs. Not the same thing, just similar in
that folks just turned it off because it was too intrusive.)



Put another way: this is arguably a fundamental design flaw in OS/360. At
this point, it's not fixable.

Re: Checksum of "legacy" load module?

[Bill Godfrey]

The COPYMOD function of IEBCOPY will in some cases combine multiple blocks of a 
load module into fewer longer blocks, and where certain blocks contain the 
length of the next block, the length will be changed accordingly. In such cases 
comparing the original and the copy will not produce a match or the same 
checksum.

Re: Marx Zelden - IPLINFO utility

Even in the later days of OS/360, it was hard to get IBM to take integrity

I remember well the early days of OS/360. There was no concept of the
insider threat. We were all in this together, and we were all good guys.
Maybe one or two of the application folks were suspect  but the sysprogs
were certainly all good guys, and the application folks didn't know about
this control block stuff.

There was of course no online access, so threats were largely contained by
the lock on the computer room door.

This is a pointless discussion. Protecting this storage will break myriad
programs, and adding a subsystem or service to provide controlled access
would be a huge undertaking, both for IBM to implement and for customers and
ISVs to use. I would predict that even if IBM did it, people would turn it
off so they could get work done. (Think early days of Windows UAC-and yes,
that got better, but with significant investment in/revamp of Windows, plus
it's mostly transparent to programs. Not the same thing, just similar in
that folks just turned it off because it was too intrusive.)



Put another way: this is arguably a fundamental design flaw in OS/360. At
this point, it's not fixable.

P.S. There's gotta be a joke about "Marx" Zelden and universal access to low

Re: Send an email with a Zip file as an attachment?

[Seymour J Metz]

That message does not have an attachment.

The CONTENT-DISPOSITION field has significance to the reciving application, not 
to the sending application.

The normal way to do what you want is to zip the file and send a message 
containing MIME MIME-Version, Content-Type Header Field and 
Content-Transfer-Encoding header fields, and a MIME part containing a boundary 
delimiter line, Content-Type multipart; boundary=foo and 
Content-Transfer-Encoding header fields, an empty line and the zipped file.,

This sounds oddly backwards. Before DAT, i.e. MVT et al, addressing exceptions 
were common enough on any but a fully kitted out machine - and machines with 
16MB were rare.

But I'm not convinced that S0C5 even exists on any MVS or later OS/360 
descendent. How would you provoke one? If you're running V=V, you'll get a page 
or segment fault (0010 or 0011) or some other DAT-related failure, and I think 
those are all turned into S0C4s if unresolved.
Surely nobody is running V=R in 2022 (does z/OS even support it?), so I'm not 
sure how you'd get a 0005 - let alone a S0C5 - for referencing non existent 
storage.

Well, S0C4-11 does not mean the storage is fetch-protected.  It means the

Re: EXTERNAL: CIBXUTOK fetch protected

[Ituriel do Neto]

Mike,

I don't think so, but to remove all doubts i have associated the PROCNAME in 
class STARTED with my userid.

Now both STC and batch job run with the same userid, but when batch, the 
CIBXTOKN continues to be fetch protected giving me and abend S0C4-11

Re: help with abend 60D reason code 14 SDWALSLV value

There is a FRR parm on the IEAMSCHD 

Isn’t the SETFRR done on your behalf when issuing the IEAMSCHD macro ?

Re: help with abend 60D reason code 14 SDWALSLV value

[Mike Shaw]

Joseph,

I have to comment...many of your initial posts over the months you have
posted on this list lack enough detail for anyone  to help you without
requesting more information.

As others have pointed out many times, it is better to:

1) Only post on this list after you have done thorough desk-checking of
your code first

2) Read and understand all doc on the facility you are trying to use

3) Clearly state the problem you are having

4) Show your code when you post

Based on the power of the z/OS facilities you are trying to use, you should
have a trusted and knowledgeable person checking and/or testing your
code...you can crater a z/OS system quickly if you are not careful...

Opinions expressed are my own...

One of the two systems is Dallas. FWIW, I got the no ICSF message on the other

Dallas?

Works on this zPDT under VM. And even better, gives the same answer as
on Gord's system! So either we both have the correct IEFBR14 or we
both have the same corrupted/infected one. Or the tool always gives
the same answer. Or [insert favourite crypto attack here].

As Mark mentioned - get a copy of XMITIP and you'll find an easy to use z/OS
email tool.  You can get it at www.cbttape.org/updates.htm and get file314
or from www.lbdsoftware.com. It supports pkzip, zip390, ISPZIP, SLIKZIP, and
includes a copy of infozip if you don't have a zip product.

I'm not sure if there's maybe a parm needed on the PKZIP job to be

Re: Send an email with a Zip file as an attachment?

[Carmen Vitullo]

I found out i have pkzip on our system, I created a test archive file 
and emailed it to myself. 310 bytes, when I save the attachment on my PC 
it's zero bytes :( and I cannot open it, so, something is corrupting the 
file for me, I suspect it's all security related for me :(

md5 was added to z/OS at the same time as sha256 (z/OS 2.4 June 2020), 
and has a dependency on ICSF (described in the doc). The OP has already

Re: EXTERNAL: CIBXUTOK fetch protected

[Ituriel do Neto]

Hi,

The loadlib is APF in both cases because i'm using the same JCL.

For instance, as STC it is started by the command S PROCNAME, while as a batch 
job, using the following JCL:

//JOBNAME (),CLASS=A,MSGCLASS=X,REGION=0M
//A1            EXEC PROCNAME

The PROC is the same, expanded from the same PROCLIB. 

The only difference i could perceive is when it runs as batch, it is assigned 
to my userid, and as STC, it is assigned a different one defined in STARTED 
class.

Hi all,

I'm trying to reach CIBXTOKN field under CIBX control block, and if the program 
is executed as a batch job, this field is fetch protected, but if it runs as an

What is the difference?

Re: help with abend 60D reason code 14 SDWALSLV value

[Joseph Reichman]

Yes that’s because I had a bad ptr for the IARV64 so my first abend was for D02 
when I did my retry all I was attempting to do was to go somewhere in my SRB 
and set reg 15 with a bad ie non zero return code 

However as the documentation points out if your recovery is a FRR and in using 
IEAMSCHD it is that then stack entries made by a PC rtn have to be accounted 
for 

I have one more question which I’m sure only you can answer 

When I do an Estae and my SDWAGR registers are corrupted 

This typically happens in the case above where thru my carelessness I pass a 
bad ptr to an IBM service SVC or PC in that case I can always rely on SDWASR 
regs who’s values are right after I issue Estae since I do this all the way in 
the beginning of the program before I have a chance to make an error 

I the case of IEAMSCHD both of those registers sets seem to be the same 

In which case I have no choice but to percolate. Good news though even though I 
percolate I still get back control after the IEAMSCHD macro and SYNCHCOMPADDR 
is equal to 8 SYNCHCODEADR and SYNCRSNADDR then have SDWAABBCC and SDWACRC 
respectively right ?

Re: EXTERNAL: CIBXUTOK fetch protected

[Crawford, Robert C.]

Does your program get loaded out of an APF authorized library when it runs as a 
STC?  What's in the STEPLIB concatenation for the batch job?  One unauthorized 
library makes the whole STEPLIB unauthorized.

Hi all,

I'm trying to reach CIBXTOKN field under CIBX control block, and if the program 
is executed as a batch job, this field is fetch protected, but if it runs as an 
STC, the access is granted.

What is the difference?

Re: help with abend 60D reason code 14 SDWALSLV value

[Peter Relson]

To be clear: are you saying that when you did not specify SDWALSLV at all you 
get 60D-14, and when you specified it with a value of 1 you did not?


This what I see for 60d 


It is just ridiculous that you continually ignore what someone writes, and then 
post only what you think matters instead of everything.

The "explanation" is one piece of the information in the documentation. There 
are also the "actions". They are relevant too. Read them. In particular the one 
I referred to.

You never described the order of SETFRR (or implied SETFRR if you scheduled the 
SRB to be given control with an FRR) vs BAKR vs PC. That must be understood.

If the order is
SETFRR A
BAKR
PC to IARV64
PR
PR

Then if you want to retry within the BAKR code you would need SDWALSLV = 1. If 
you want to retry prior to code running without that linkage stack level, then 
SDWALSLV should be left 0.

If the order is
BAKR
SETFRR A
PC to IARV64
PR
SETFRR D
PR

It would be 100%y WRONG for you to retry with SDWALSLV=1. That would be 
considered a system integrity error.
The retry address has to be owned by you and the retry has to be at the linkage 
stack level associated with that address.

SMF type 60

[Jack Zukt]

Hi,

I am trying to "decode" a few SMF type 60 (VSAM Volume Data Set Updated),
but I have reached a dead end. The greatest part of the information on
these records is the "VSAM Volume Record" information and I cannot find
anywhere how to decode it. It does not seem to rely on "offset/length"
data.
Does anyone knows how to extract this information?
TIA
