Betreff: Sam Golob articles are now directly online

Dear Folks,

 Recently I received a request to put my (over 230) articles about MVS 
Systems Programming, directly online.  They had previously resided (and still 
reside) on CBT Tape Files 014 and 120, which are in zipped XMIT-format, and 
therefore they are not so readily accessible.  So I finally did it.  The older 
articles also had outdated email addresses and URL's, which I tried to correct 
as well (as much as possible).

 So these articles can now be found on www.cbttape.org/xephon (sorry about 
that), and then you click on sgolob.articles to see them all.

 I certainly hope that these articles will contribute to people's system 
programming knowledge, at all levels, and I'm grateful to Shmuel Metz, who 
suggested that I do this.

 All the best of everything to all of you.

Sincerely,Sam

Betreff: Extending a VTOC

Hi all,
It has been way too many years since the last time I dabbled with ICKDSF and 
VTOC definitions (probably over twenty, but I would rather not do the math).
Back on those days, if memory serves me right, the only way to extend a VTOC 
was to clean the DASD of all its contents, put it offline, and recreate the 
VTOC with the new size. As a few years have passed, I have been going through 
the ICKDSF manual trying to find out if a VTOC can be extended without having 
to clear the volume first. I can not say that I have became enlightened. It 
seems to be possible but I am not quite sure about it. And this being a 
production volume I really would hate if things do not work as expected.
So, in a nut shell, can I extend a VTOC from 90 to 900 tracks without having 
first to clean the DASD of all its files?
Thank you in advance for any help,
Best regards
Jack

What 3270 emulator are you using?

I (and my colleagues) have been using PCOMM as our 3270 emulator by
corporate edict.
Corporate has removed PCOMM from the available list of emulators, hence this
survey (survey ends Fri. Apr 30 @ COB).

Since we have to go through a procurement process, we want to obtain the
optimal product.
I am aware of the usual suspects and have them on my short list.

Responses can be posted on-list or directly to me.

Hi Lionel,
you won't get a 3270 like interface. You can design the interface whatever
way you like. Only the exchange of mainframe relevant data will be carried
out by the 3270 non-GUI emulation server session. This will have nothing to
do with the display of data. I hope that makes my suggestion clearer.

Michael

Hi Lionel,

I would suggest you implement a server application that communicates with
the frontend (web browser) using HTTP/SSL/TLS and with your backend ISPF
application using a server version of a 3270 terminal emulation running
without a GUI.

You can use an OHIO (Open Host Interface Objects) or HLLAPI supporting
emulation that can be used to program a 3270 emulation communication without
a physical operator. This will require you to newly design and implement the
HTML web browser frontend but you will be able to use your ISPF application
without the need of any changes on the mainframe. All you have to do is to
extract the relevant information from your new web interface and feed the
GUI-less server emulation session by filling the 3270 panel fields and
sending the information to your ISPF application. In the opposite direction
your server emulation session will have to extract the information from your
ISPF panels and feed the web interface to present this information to your
web browser users. Since front- and backend are completely decoupled you can
choose any design for your new web browser frontend.

Since the user has to sign on to your mainframe/ISPF application (each user
will have its own mainframe/TSO telnet session as today), your current
system of user authentication will be sufficient.

Please get in touch in case you're interested. Our company provides an OHIO
enabled Java 3270 terminal emulation that our customers have used to
implement solutions to requirements similar to yours.

Michael

I am announcing a new, free, ebook with usable examples for all ISPF developers 
with tips and tricks to jump start or improve your dialog writing. It is 70+ 
pages and the zip includes to doc in pdf, ePub, and mobi formats so you can 
read it anywhere (or go old school and print it). Upload the included samples 
PDS, provided in xmit format, and look at the code.  

This is not a stand alone doc, you’ll still need the IBM pubs to delve into the 
full capabilities of the ISPF services. 

It is also a work in progress, meaning if you would like to contribute a 
chapter, with examples, then please do so - see the section on contributing on 
how to do that.

Hi,

.AUTOSEL is a concept I'm already using. The drawback is that I need to know 
the row number of at least one displayed table row after the next TBDISPL 
command has been processed by ISPF. Do you have any idea of how to get hold of 
this? This would definitely solve my problem .
Actually I've included the following statement in the ')PROC' section in order 
to get notified when the user presses the ENTER key without any input:
IF ( = ) .AUTOSEL = YES .CSRROW = 
As in all other cases this piece of code won't be called if ISPF doesn't 
require the program to provide additional table entries in order to satisfy the 
scroll request ☹. The same procedure as last year ...

As far as I can find out '.RESP' doesn't distinguish between the ENTER key and 
the scroll keys. At least there is no difference in the ')PROC' section, if it 
is called at all. It appears to be 'ENTER' in both cases.

Anyway - thanks for your really helpful comment.

Kind regards,
Immo

I'm *really* rusty, but would .AUTOSEL help?  IIRC, it would give you control 
back in additional situations.

Another thought:. It may help to check .RESP for a scroll key, save that value, 
and set .RESP to ENTER .

Both are a bit cludgy, but something along those lines may help.

Hi ITschak,

thanks for your repsonse. Unfortunately it doesn't really provide a solution to 
my problem of not getting notified by ISPF about a scroll request while a block 
command is incomplete and ISPF doesn't need additional table entries in order 
to satisfy the scroll request.

Greetings,

Immo

I would look at panel Rexx. Its a Rexx coded in the panel init or proc 
sections. You need to save the first dd or cc command Crp location in a 
variable shared with your program.

There is no way that I know of to capture the scrolling unless you make the 
scrolling a passthru and then your application would have to process it. That 
is doable - again just more code.

Hi Lionel,

thanks for your reply. That's exactly what I'm doing. My problem is the 
disappearance of the short message 'block command incomplete' during scrolling. 
If sufficient table rows are already put into the table, my program won't 
receive control from ISPF during scrolling. So I cannot redisplay the message. 
Do you have any idea about this?

For your processing when you have a block command entered, that is a block 
command that your application must process. You must first determine the 1st 
row with the block command and then save that row as you scroll until you get 
to the 2nd occurrence of the block command. After the user enters 'DD' (for 
example) you can display a message if you don't find a 2nd 'DD'. It's just code 
- perhaps not easy - but map it out and you'll get it.

For your processing when you have a block command entered, that is a block 
command that your application must process. You must first determine the 1st 
row with the block command and then save that row as you scroll until you get 
to the 2nd occurrence of the block command. After the user enters 'DD' (for 
example) you can display a message if you don't find a 2nd 'DD'. It's just code 
- perhaps not easy - but map it out and you'll get it.

ISPF programming

[Immo]

Hi,

while programming a ISPF test program I would like to implement the use of
block commands such as 'CC..CC' or 'DD..DD' in the ISPF editor. In order to
do so I may need to display a message like 'block command incomplete' on
various panel displays until the user either cancels the request or
completes the incomplete block command.

The problem I'm facing right now is the fact that ISPF won't return control
to my application program when the user scrolls through parts of the table
display where no new lines need to be provided by my application program.
So, unfortunately, my 'block command incomplete' message disappears after
pressing e. g. the PF7 key though the incomplete state hasn't changed.

Does anybody know how to handle this or can I specify something e. g. in the
panel definition in order to receive control in my application program when
the user presses a scroll key without making any change to an input field of
my panel?

Kind regards and thanks in advance,

Immo

Hi,

thank you for all the hints. I finally found out how to get hold of the

I'd like to retrieve the unique row-id for an entry in an ISPF table from an
