Re: Program that can monitor CPU usage

If your requirement is to simply monitor the amount of CPU seconds that certain address spaces have used, then you can very easily write a Rexx exec to do this. I've used this method in places where I needed to monitor certain servers but I only had basic user access. -Original Message-

BPXPRMxx and MKDIR

2008-09-27 Thread Lizette Koehler
Does anyone use the MKDIR parameter that was provided in z/OS V1.5 and above to create directories if they do not exist in your BPXPRMxx member? Are there any restrictions or got'chas? I have been reading that it can be added to the ROOT as well as the MOUNT statements. Lizette

I went on the IBM Websphere website and it indicates that the BETA Websphere Application Server V7.0 is now available for download. Is this what you were looking for? I get confused because IBM does not date their web pages very well so I don't always know if this is current or not.

Tom, In your case, the book says For all other JCL statements, you can continue the parameter field or the comments field on the JCL statement. If you continue both the parameter field and the comments field on the same card image, the system ignores the indication to continue the comment.

The numbers in the original post are not in the comments field of a regular JCL statement. The numbers are on a comment card that began with //*. The book says Do not continue a comment statement using continuation conventions. Instead, code additional comment statements. The book also

Actually, I remember packaging a product in about 1989 and finding that there was no consensus among customers about what format CLIST libraries should be in. Some were VB 255, others were FB 80, and some used serial numbers and some didn't. I coped with that by making my clists FB 80 with

To squash a dataset into a dataset with LRECL=80, RECFM=FB, BLKSIZE=2120 use the TSO TRANSMIT (a.k.a. XMIT) command with the OUTDSN keyword. Instead of actually transmitting the file somewhere else, it will put the output into the dataset named in the OUTDSN keyword with those attributes. To

No, as the OP said, the numbers that were displaced were on the DD card: // DD DISP=SHR,DSN=CICSTS32.CICS.SDFHLPA ... 0020 They became a comment on that card. Since they overlaid column 72, the next DD card was treated as a continuation. Date: Sat, 27 Sep 2008 14:09:42 -0600
