Don't rub it in. I wish that IBM would port XEDIT to TSO, or enhance ISPF to 
provide, e.g., SET PENDING, control files.

Lionel,

Many years ago we developed a change management tool for an Israeli client that 
ued CA datacom based on SCLM. We used to perform merge by comparing the two 
versions (Ispf SUPERC). When configured it is a smart tool that tels you the 
location, if it is new line or update inline, etc.  Try this approach. I may 
look at my archives to see if I still have this module.

Sigh.  ISRSUPC PARM=UPDCMS8 will generate usable CMSUPDTE diffs if
the OLD file has valid sequence numbers.  ISRSUPC PARM=UPDMVS8
requires that both OLD and NEW have valid sequence numbers, providing
no recovery from undisciplined coders.  When necessary I have used
ISRSUPC PARM=UPDCMS8 followed by a Rexx filter to convert to
IEBUPTDE format.

What about "diff" (better diff3, but non-POSIX) followed by "patch"?

Re: "git" for z/OS announced

[Rob Scott]

My 2c :

I have been using "Git for z/OS" for the products that I am involved in for 
over a year now and I *love* it.

During early pilot conversion from SCLM, the "a-ha" moment was realizing that 
if you use zFS file system as your actual workspace where you change the source 
(i.e do not try to fudge in PDS/PDSEs) then everything just falls into place 
and works beautifully. There are other paradigm shifts involved as you have to 
move from a rigid development "hierarchy" view with promotions to something 
more fluid that will require conflict resolution at "check-in" time.
The BitBucket interface helps hugely for the remote repository management and 
the built-in git "merge" command is pretty smart.

If there is a downside, it is that ISPF functionality in 3.17 is not as rich as 
normal PDS/Es - for example, you cannot filter the directory list contents 
after a "SRCHFOR" command.

Re: git on z/OS

[Kirk Wolf]

Agreed - Rocket's work to port updated tools to z/OS is great.   I believe
that they have a paid support model, which hopefully will be embraced by
the community so that they can justify even more good work.

Regarding System R, you can also run this from z/OS batch using the Co:Z
Launcher utility.  See an example below.
(The Co:Z Co-Processing Toolkit is available under our free Community
License and can be downloaded without registering.)

Some features of this approach:

- Run R under the control of a regular z/OS batch job step.
- processing is offloaded to a Linux server; perhaps an IFL
- z/OS datasets can be accessed by the distribute process via the job step
- output goes to z/OS spool files
- the exit code of the remote process is adopted as the step condition code


//R EXEC PROC=COZPROC,
//ARGS='k...@linux1.dovetail.com'
//LIFEEXP DD DISP=SHR,DSN=KIRK.LIFEEXP.DATA
//STDIN DD *
# Run the R statistical system with an inline program
# This example is a 2-dimensional multiple regression
# The dataset is read from a DD using "fromdsn" in a R pipe file.
# The source of the data is:
# www.sci.usq.edu.au/staff/dunn/Datasets/applications/health/lifeexp.html

R --no-save   Co:Z is agnostic about what you run with it.  You can offload SAS in a
similar way:

For a tool like git that has to straddle character encoding worlds, enhanced 
ASCII support (EAS) brings only limited value. We're likely to explicitly 
convert data, and control tagging, for text moving into and out of the 
repository, rather than relying on EAS to Do The Right Thing. Current plans 
(subject to change, of course...) are to support checkout as ISO-8859-1, UTF-8 
or IBM-1047 (or conceivably ANY encoding supported by iconv) and respect tags 
on add/commit of new files.  As I said - it's a challenging problem. Git 
currently ignores encoding altogether, with the exception of line endings (the 
perennial CRLF/LF/CR/whatever problem...).

Given the complexity of the problem, I think IBM has done a fairly decent job 
with EAS. Most of the existing C/C++ tool chain (most notably, of course, xlc) 
do a pretty decent job of handling a mix of character encodings in its input 
files, and the bulk of the POSIX system and library interfaces support ASCII.

Of course we're all pleased that Rocket are porting good stuff to z/OS

z/OS port of Apache Spark. For Spark on z/OS to be credible you need at 
least Python and almost certainly R for SparkR. For Spark to fly (groan) 
on z/OS you really do need Rockets data virtualization product to access 
legacy data. That's good
news for Rocket. Rocket aren't charging OTC for the Spark DVS, only S 
That sure is a change in business model for a mainframe software vendor.



I really like R, the
little I know of it. If they're listening, a full port of GNU awk would be
fantastic (especially with the networking stuff). Also the Google "Go"
language (may be even more difficult since it specifically says that it

Looks like Rockets R port is using Enhanced ASCII

You mean I forgot to tell you?

It would be somewhat better if the RTL had support for Curses and X11.

Re: git on z/OS

[Kirk Wolf]

Ed -

to clarify - your clients all have the git remote repo mounted with SMB and
then they use the "Local Protocol" ?

This is fine for some environments, but giving everyone r/w mounts to the
repo file system can be a little dangerous.
(for git connection protocols, see:
https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Git-on-the-Server-The-Protocols  )

Therefore I would think that it would be nice for many to have a git server
port for z/OS that would run with the ssh protocol.

Then again, for many I wouldn't see a huge benefit to having a git server
on z/OS at all.   The server could be anywhere that is vigorously secure
and backed up.

We maintain our git repositories on z/OS via the SMB server.

git on z/OS

[Jerry Callen]

[Prompted by mentions of git on another thread]

Rocket is in the process of porting git to z/OS (on USS, of course). As others 
have noted, it's challenging, given the ASCII/EBCDIC issues. Nonetheless, we 
hope to have a public beta available by the end of the year; it will be 
announced on Rocket's open source forum at:

http://forum.rocketsoftware.com/c/rocket-z-os-open-source-languages-tools

At least initially (and, I suspect, forever...), it will only support USS 
files, not MVS datasets (that's a whole nother kettle 'o fish...).

Meanwhile: I use git with z/OS using the "large sledgehammer" approach. I keep 
my actual git repositories on Windows and use WinSCP to periodically copy the 
source back and forth between Windows and z/OS. Crude, but functional. Once on 
Windows, I can push/pull github repos. Look here for a repos containing z/OS 
source:
