Does Any one Agree WIth Me (SSI UNDO)

[esst...@juno.com]

.
In developing an SSI initialization routine, it would be useful to backout any 
changes made.
i can release Storage in an ESTAE routine, but I can't "undo' any changes made 
using IEFSSI macro -
I cant remove the SSVT ect . To me it would be helpful during development 
if there was IEFSSI TYPE=BACKOUT,
so that any changes made in the SSI initialization routine relating to define 
and initializing a subsystem  would be backed out. 
This would also be useful in a ESTAE routine.   
Also being able to COMMIT the changes might also be useful.
.
I would like to here every ones comments/opinions  -
.

Thanks for the technique.  And I see I can use it to explore other products
(I tried UNIX and ISPF), from my favorite starting point:


I hadn't examined the sidebar closely enough.

Gil,

I earlier provided you a link to the same in the other topic.

https://www.mail-archive.com/ibm-main@listserv.ua.edu/msg137624.html


Also,  in the PDF documentation it is divided as chapters and the web 
documentation does not have that, but it is in the same chapter order as the 
PDF.   So here is the link to DFSORT Application Programming Guide

https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/zos/3.1.0?topic=guide-abstract-dfsort-application-programming

Now see the left panel which shows the subtopics within this book, and you can 
see " EBCDIC and ASCII collating sequences" as one of the topics.

Excellent; thanks!

How did you find that?  I tried to no avail with Google keywords:
site:IBM.com dfsort ebcdic collating seauence

And that page has a
Parent topic:
EBCDIC and ASCII collating sequences
but there's no parent-of-parent, so I wouldn't have been able to
start at the root of the volume and work down.

The table 109 you refer is referring to the EBCDIC table listed here.

DFSORT Guide feedback?

[Paul Gilmartin]

I wabt to provide feedback on:
DFSORT Application Programming Guide SC23-6878-60
Table 109 EBCDIC ...

In that publication I read:
How to provide feedback to IBM
We welcome any feedback that you have, including comments on
 the clarity, accuracy, or completeness of the information.
 For more information, see How to send feedback to IBM.

Which hyperlinks to a page where I read:
IBM Documentation provides a “Was this
topic helpful?” prompt at the top of each page.

I surmise that I must do this on a web page containint the
relevant topic.  I was unable to find ap page describing
Table 109.  Can someone help me?  Or must I submit
meta-feedback, "Unable to find web page"?

Much to my embarrassment I did not test the same case.
After deliberately messing with the PROG list, replacing a comma with a period, 
I could not respecify the PROG list split into two and had to respecify the 
entire list in a single response...[sigh].
Fortunately enough, respecifying the entire list did not exceed 80 chars. (the 
maximum)...

Re: 0C4 pic 11 in stimer exit on retry

[Peter Relson]

Was your recovery routine set within the IRB or by the mainline?

The reg 13 within the IRB is for the IRB and storage associated with an RB is 
freed when the RB terminates.

If you "retry" you are retrying to the RB that set the recovery. Thus any regs 
for retry should be ones associated with that RB.

Of at least as much importance: Show the data.  Including the 8-byte 
translation exception address.

Sorry, I only saw this post yesterday.
I've forced IPL to issue msg. IEA101A by changing IMSI char. from M to T in IPL 
parameter.
First, I've specified SYSP=DW, because our LOADxx specifies 'SYSPARM  DW'.
The list of SYSP suffixes must be completed on a single response and can't be 
split.
Then I asked for a MLPA list split onto two responses, followed by a long PROG 
list
split onto two responses too.   
Here's how it went:

  IEA371I SYS1.IPLPARM ON DEVICE 0A82 SELECTED FOR IPL PARAMETERS  
  IEA246I LOAD   ID DW SELECTED
  IEA246I NUCLST ID 00 SELECTED
  IEA519I IODF DSN = SYS1.IODF02   
  IEA520I CONFIGURATION ID = OS390   . IODF DEVICE NUMBER = 0A82   
  IEA091I NUCLEUS 1 SELECTED   
  IOS128I IPL DEVICE: 00A80  VOLUME: A3RES1
  IEA370I MASTER CATALOG SELECTED IS CATALOG.Z31A.MASTER   
| IEA101A SPECIFY SYSTEM PARAMETERS FOR z/OS 03.01.00 HBB77E0  
  R 0,'SYSP=DW,CONT'   
  IEE600I REPLY TO 00 IS;SYSP=DW,CONT  
| IEA116A CONTINUE SYSTEM PARAMETERS 
  R 0,'MLPA=(00,CONT'
  IEE600I REPLY TO 00 IS;MLPA=(00,CONT   
| IEA116A CONTINUE SYSTEM PARAMETERS  
  R 0,'DI,L),PROG=(AB,AC,AD,AM,AN,A0,A1,A2,ZW,CONT'   
  IEE600I REPLY TO 00 IS;DI,L),PROG=(AB,AC,AD,AM,AN,A0,A1,A2,ZW,CONT  
| IEA116A CONTINUE SYSTEM PARAMETERS  
  R 0,'SY,LB,LC,LD,LM,LN,L0,L1,L2,LL)'
  IEE252I MEMBER IEASYS00 FOUND IN ADCD.Z31A.PARMLIB 
  IEE252I MEMBER IEASYSDW FOUND IN USER.Z31A.PARMLIB 
  IEA007I STATIC SYSTEM SYMBOL VALUES 020
 = "2"  
= "1A" 
 = "S0W1"   
= "Z1030100"   
.
.
.
...and here are excerpts from SDSF's SYSP command showing the result:

 MLPA  (00,DI)  

 PROG  (AB, 
 PROG  AC,  
 PROG  AD,  
 PROG  AM,  
 PROG  AN,  
 PROG  A0,  
 PROG  A1,  
 PROG  A2,  
 PROG  ZW,  
 PROG  SY,  
 PROG  LB,  
 PROG  LC,  
 PROG  LD,  
 PROG  LM,  
 PROG  LN,  
 PROG  L0,  
 PROG  L1,  
 PROG  L2,  
 PROG  LL)
