Re: Is there a mathematician in the house?
Hi, (m,n) is the great common divisor between m and n. Can't tell what phi(26)=12 is, but I would say is something like "there are 12 coprimes among the 26 first natural numbers". Horacio De: IBM Mainframe Discussion List en nombre de Bob Bridges Enviado: martes, 23 de agosto de 2022 17:50 Para: IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU Asunto: [EXTERNAL] Is there a mathematician in the house? I got to talking with a church friend about encryption, and at lunch yesterday he lent me a book on number theory that has a chapter on asymmetric encryption. Cryptography has long been a hobby of mine, but it's only recently that I came to understand a little of how asymmetric encryption can work. The chapter I'm perusing will get into asymmetric encryption eventually, but it's starting with simple rotational ciphers. Expanding on the simple rotation, it then talks about something it calls "affine transformations", which introduce an additional term into the formula used to encrypt or decrypt the text: C ≡ P+ (mod 26) 0 ≤ C ≤ 25 ...where, it specifies, "(a, 26) = 1". Here's where I pause: What operation is indicated by "(m, n)"? It goes on to say that for 26 letters in the cipher, "there are ф(26) = 12 choices for ". I can see that and 26 must have no factors in common for this to work, and without actually working out how many choices there are I can easily believe the answer is 12, but what function is implied by phi?

You should be able to write a query to look at that table (if you have the right authorization) for any GRANTs for the ID that is the group you deleted and restored - or, of course, any other GRANTs that interest you. You just have to find out the name of the table(s), which would be some standard documented table name.

Try this REXX using the SDSF API:
zz=isfcalls('ON')
Address SDSF ISFSLASH "'D SMS,STORGRP(ALL)' (WAIT)"
cc=rc
zz=isfcalls('OFF')
if rc<>0 then say 'Console failed rc' cc
