Not sure if this is an option for you but if the VTL encrypted the data on disk, securely wiping the encryption keys would render all data wiped.

For example, if the disks are SATA, you could put them on a PC running Linux and simpy do the command: "dd if=/dev/random of=/dev/sd?" where "sd?" is the Linux address of the attached disk.

My question is, what would be the best group to ask a compiler question (specific to COBOL) that Tom (forgot his last name), would probably see? IBM's blogs, community, etc are not my idea of a good time -- already got out there and spent too much time battling through their interface. And so you can enjoy this, my question is, why is it that OPT(0) overrides INITCHECK, but if I ask for Optimization (e.g, OPT(1)) it works? Frankly, I do not want anyone using INITCHECK (IC) outside of OPT(0) which means NOOPT (except that you can't say that with COBOL 6.2). Yes, INITCHECK is ONLY done by the Compiler during Parse/SCAN operations and not during code gen (as I read the manual). But it takes more CPU for this to work, so why do that AND the CPU burn of Optimization for a compile where one is attempting to determine if fields are being referenced before they have had something put in them?

Re: File transfer Red Alert
Thanks!
I took a look at my keyring for SMPE and found that I don't have the
GeoTrust Global CA but I do have the Equifax Secure CA and DigiCert Global
Root CA attached. Using the SYSFTPD DD, I was able to use my existing SMPE
keyring to successfully connect and secure FTP to
testcase.boulder.ibm.com. Thanks for the tip to use those same certs. I
really believe that should be documented at

I know your question wasn't about SMPE, but the setup to do TLS encrypted
(or FTPs) file transfer is the same with regards to the FTP client setup
portion.
Here it is, they say download files, but the same is true for UPLOAD as
well.
IBM's secure FTP server (FTPS)
SMP/E for z/OS User's Guide
SA23-2277-01
To download files from IBM's secure FTP server, it is necessary to enable
SSL/TLS in the z/OS® Communications Server FTP client program. To enable
the FTP client program for SSL/TLS, there are several statements in the
FTP.DATA file that must be considered as follows: SECURE_FTP ALLOWED
SECURE_MECHANISM TLS
TLSRFCLEVEL CCCNONOTIFY
TLSMECHANISM FTP
SECURE_DATACONN PRIVATE
KEYRING keyringname
EPSV4 TRUE
SECURE_FTPThis statement specifies whether a security mechanism is
optional or required by the FTP client. ALLOWED indicates a security
mechanism is optional and the FTP client will allow both secure traffic
and non-secure traffic. PRIVATE indicates a security mechanism is required
and the FTP client will allow only secure traffic. Either ALLOWED or
PRIVATE must be specified. SECURE_MECHANISMThis statement specifies which
security mechanism to use when a session is established. The TLS parameter
must be specified.TLSRFCLEVELUse this statement to specify the level of
RFC 4217 that FTP operations will support. CCCNONOTIFY indicates FTP will
properly support the CCC (clear control connection) command and must be
specified.TLSMECHANISMUse this statement to specify whether TLS is
implemented by AT-TLS or by FTP. FTP indicates TLS processing is performed
by FTP.SECURE_DATACONNThis statement indicates the minimum level of
security to be used for data connections by the FTP client. NEVER
indicates data must never be enciphered during transfer. CLEAR indicates
data may be transferred either with no security or may be enciphered, and
is the default value. PRIVATE indicates data must be transferred
enciphered. The IBM® secure FTP server requires that data be transferred
enciphered. Therefore, you must specify PRIVATE for the SECURE_DATACONN
statement. KEYRINGThis statement defines the key ring that contains the
Certificate Authority certificate to be used during the TLS handshake. You
can use the same key ring for both HTTPS and FTPS operations. Specify the
name of the keyring defined in Creating key rings on the KEYRING
statement. However, IBM's secure FTP server uses a server certificate
signed by a different certificate authority. Therefore, you must add the
GeoTrust Global CA certificate to your keyring. 1.Download to your work
station the GeoTrust Global CA root certificate (Root 2 - GeoTrust Global
CA) from the GeoTrust website at
https://www.geotrust.com/resources/root-certificates/index.html.
2.Upload the CA certificate to your z/OS system. There are many methods to
transfer files from your workstation to your z/OS system. For example, you
can upload the certificate file with Personal Communications 3270 or use
TCP/IP FTP. The important things to remember are the certificate file must
be uploaded to z/OS as Start of changetextEnd of change data, the
certificate file must be stored in a sequential data set, and the
sequential data set must have RECFM=VB and LRECL>=256.
3.After you have stored the certificate in a sequential data set, add it
to your RACF® database using the following RACF command: RACDCERT CERTAUTH
ADD('ca-cert.dataset.name') +
WITHLABEL('GeoTrust Global CA') TRUST
where ca-cert.dataset.name is the name of the sequential data set used to
store the certificate received from the GeoTrust web site.
4.Connect the GeoTrust CA certificate to the key ring using the following
RACF command: RACDCERT ID(userid) CONNECT( CERTAUTH RING(keyringname) +
LABEL('GeoTrust Global CA') USAGE(CERTAUTH) )
where keyringname is the name for the key ring you choose to use for
secure FTP operations. This can be the same keyring you use for HTTPS
operations and defined in Creating key rings.
EPSV4This statement directs the FTP client to use the EPSV and EPRT FTP
commands during

My question was not about SMPE, rather it was for uploading data to testcase.boulder.ibm.com. I have SMPE setup for internet delivery and did in fact need to do a certificate exchange to get it to work. I had to go to ShopZseries and "order" a certificate which I imported into RACF and attached it to the keyring "FtpSecur" which you mention in your configuration.

My FTP client is using passive FTP, but the session still hangs after the ls, dir, put or get commands. Ask your firewall administrator to allow connections to the port range 65024 - 65535 for our FTP server. Or, alternatively, your company might use some sort of Proxy, to provide the access, but you still need the appropriate FTP client options. //SYSFTPD DD * SECURE_FTPALLOWED SECURE_MECHANISM TLS TLSRFCLEVEL CCCNONOTIFY TLSMECHANISM FTP SECURE_DATACONN PRIVATE KEYRING FtpSecur EPSV4 TRUE _ Dave Jousma Manager Mainframe Engineering, Assistant Vice President david.jou...@53.com 1830 East Paris, Grand Rapids, MI 49546 MD RSCB2H p 616.653.8429 f 616.653.2717 -Original Message- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU] On Behalf Of Andrew Arentsen Sent: Thursday, May 24, 2018 10:14 AM To: IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU Subject: Re: File transfer Red Alert **CAUTION EXTERNAL EMAIL** **DO NOT open attachments or click on links from unknown senders or unexpected emails** While I still can't find a link on IBM's ECuRep to create an ID/token to upload files, I also cannot find any documentation on the implementation of FTPS.

PR/SM LPAR Controls Change Running System
Hi List, I have a question about what we recently experienced when dealing with Defined Capacity changes. Say I have a production LPAR with a defined capacity of 100 and a tech-only LPAR with 10. Management decides that we can afford an extra 2 MSU, temporarily. So I enter Change LPAR Controls and change the production LPAR's Defined Capacity to 102 and a tech-only LPAR to 8. At this point, I click the Change Running System button to apply the change. A few days later, the tech-only LPAR was re-IPL'd using a custom group with a load profile. The IPL was performed by selecting Activate. We notice at this point that the tech-only LPAR's Defined Capacity was set to 10. We promptly changed it back to 8. Then, to test this situation again, I started with a baseline of production=100 and tech-only=5. I entered Change LPAR Controls again and changed the tech-only to 8 and again clicked on Change Running System. This time, when the IPL was performed via an activate, the LPAR came up with a defined capacity of 8. I've found some conflicting documentation on the Google: http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=tss1wp102437=1 This page says that Change Running System changes are lost after a POR http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=isg209611e17c3b8d419852573f700645d4d=1 This page says that it's lost after a reactivation of a partition It seems that PR/SM selects the highest Defined Capacity between the Running System and what's saved in the Activation profile for the LPAR. Can anyone shed some light as to how PR/SM actually works? Andrew Arentsen Senior Mainframe Systems Engineer Phone: 800.242.7666 x1349 ** This e-mail is confidential.

Sent by:"IBM Mainframe Discussion List" <IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU>
I'm trying to delete a dataset that is not cataloged any longer. I'm not
sure why it is not in a catalog, but it is not. I've tried to re-catalog
the dataset, but it doesn't catalog.
So I have tried to every combination of IDCAMS DELETE I can think of.
NONVSAM
NVR
etc..
All return
** VSAM CATALOG RETURN CODE IS 8 - REASON CODE IS IGG0CLEG-42 - Dataset
not found.
So I tried IEHPROGM

IEC614I SCRATCH FAILED - RC 008, DIAGNOSTIC INFORMATION IS (0406001E),

0406001E - Verification of SMS flags failed; caller indicates the data
set
is not cataloged, but the *FMT1 DSCB indicates the data set is cataloged*
So I have no idea how to remove this dataset, IDCAMS won't do it because
it's not in a catalog, and IEHPROGM won't do it because it thinks it is in
a catalog.
Anyone have a suggestion?

Re: COBOL program object version report
Peter, Thanks! This is exactly what I was looking for. IDz and Debug Tool are new to our shop so we're constantly learning about its functionality. Andrew Arentsen From: "Peter Van Dyke" <pdvand...@gmail.com> To: IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU Date: 2018-01-24 23:35 Subject:Re: COBOL program object version report Sent by:"IBM Mainframe Discussion List" <IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU> Andrew, Debug Tool does include the Load Module Analyzer feature which can identify the language translator (compiler or assembler) used to generate the object for CSECTs in a load module or program object. IBM File Manager for z/OS also has the View Load Module function (option 3.10.1 in the File Manager ISPF dialog). This provides many options for displaying information about CSECTs including the compiler level and compiler options. See https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/en/SSXJAV_14.1.0/com.ibm.filemanager.doc_14.1/base/lmselpan.html . You can also run this function in batch.

COBOL program object version report
Hi all, We are in the midst of a migration to Enterprise COBOL 6.2 and I'm trying to find a way to report on the compiler version of program objects in a particular load library. I've got the COBANALZ program (CBT File 321) working, but it seems to choke on CICS programs that were compiled with the integrated compiler at version 6.2; COBANALZ abends with a S0C4-11. >From the output in SYSPRINT, it seems that the previous program was "held on to." Here's an example where CZMVS032 is the program it choked on and CZMVS031 was reported on successfully just before: ... Info --- Program: CZMVS032 is COBOL Enterprise Version 06 Release 02 Mod-Level 00 Timestamps - Compiled program name CZMVS031 Date: 24.01.2018 (european) 24.Jan.2018 (long) Time: 10:32:36 Statistics - ... COBANALZ does report successfully on COBOL 4.2 CICS programs that used the integrated compiler or the CICS translator. I've also researched AMBLIST, but that doesn't seem to allow me to report on an entire PDSe. Does anyone know if there's a way to report on the compiler version used for an entire PDSe? We have IDz, Debug Tool 14.0 if those could be used. Thanks for any input, or a suggestion of a better list to post this on. Andrew Arentsen ** This e-mail is confidential.
