Along with setting up the ISPF defaults, I use Tom Brennan's Vista 3270 and
have the following macro assigned to an unused key, in my case alt-f9.
Sometimes you have to hit it more than once because you are in split screen
mode.

Charles,
In the past I have used the POST list concept very well and I believe is still
being used today. You need a number of functions to make things easier.
1) An add function to add a pointer to an ECB to be posted to the list
2) A delete function to remove one.
3) The post routine.

Having never used ADRDSSU, I can't say for sure, but it would be a pretty bad
utility if when it was done it did not leave a good readable copy of the data
set. It should either do it right or tell you why it can't. If you are
copying a file from a SMS to a non-SMS volume, then it should
When writing an SVC one must be very careful. The SVC you describe was poorly
constructed and did not follow guidelines, admittedly not clearly stated as
such, in the Authorized Assembler Services Manual. Yes, R13 is the same as
when the SVC was called, but from the manual:
When a type 2, 3,
The SMF30 record is broken down into many parts.
For job info you need a JOB record SMF30TYP == 5
Then in the identification section you need SMF30SIT and SMF30STD, time and
date the job started. Use the SMF30TME and SMF30DTE of the record as the job
end time and date.
For step totals you
The problem is different people will have different assumptions. What I would
do is provide clarification in the documentation of what is being done and how
you are measuring data volumes. You may want to put out multiple messages, one
an actual amount processed, another with the theoretical
My question to all this is, If you have a parameter, in this case option2, even
the absence of it is a default of some sort. Think about it, if option2 is 1,
2, 3 or nothing, then nothing implies you are doing something different than 1,
2 or 3, so it is doing something. So there is ALWAYS
As Radoslaw points out, there are a lot of things to consider. Personally, I
count the number of bytes transferred at the program level and divide by the
time to get the rate.
A real 3390 (do they still exist?) even reading just a R0 from a track will
take as long as reading two 27K blocks of

Unless you deliberately erase it by over-writing what was on the disk, the data
is still out there.
The original poster was describing what I call an un-initialized data set.
I.E., you allocated it but never opened it. Changes to the system, such as

Yes, set the SAC bits first, otherwise the access register is set with zeros.
The other point that others are making is that when in access register mode,
the instruction format is VERY important.

Many of us out here would like to help you, but where is the 0C4 or 0C1? A
snip of the dump with the registers and the PSW would help a lot.

Sergio,
First thing you have to do is get a set of agreed upon specifications of what
is wanted. Then you can figure out what product does what you need. Or you
might be able to modify a CBT program to do what you need.
Don't forget about how you are going to use the results. Do you just
There is a lot more than just the cost of the CPU.

See the PROJECTCPU parameter of IEAOPT in Installation Reference manual.
I think this will do what you want. You will have to process fields out of the
SMF30 record you probably don't right now.

Here are a few hints and suggestions.
Look at CBT file 109 and 110 for sample IEFACTRT routine. This routine is for
processing SMF30 records at end of step and end of job. It does generate a lot
of information and has data conversion routines that can be used as examples
for any other
Others have mentioned XCF and system stuff, there are also application
considerations.
It depends on your applications and how they are written. If they use the TIME
macro, or the various language equivalents, you may have a problem at switch
times. See the ZONE parameter of the TIME macro.
Bill,
I monitor the IBM-MAIN list for Syncsort and saw your request. I am currently
researching your request and have asked some of my associates about it to see
if we can solve it.
Right off the bat we all thought of a simple TRAILER1 that would say n NUMBER
OF RECORDS OUTPUT or the like,
Bill,
I am sorry that we cannot provide you with a way to meet all your requirements.
The best we can suggest is to add a TRAILER1 statement to print out the number
of records in the file.
If you have additional questions, please call our support line at 201-930-8260
and one of our support
Another way that I find helpful is to use an IPCS dump and go to option 6 and
use
VERBX VSMDATA 'SUMMARY'
Then max down to the bottom. There is summary of the storage layout. This is
a sample. Someplace in your listing will be something that will not look
right. Once you have a subpool
Can you define what 'large' is. The best description would be:
1) Number of records - a ballpark figure will do
2) The average length of the records
3) The size of the key
I don't know of any currently supported tag sort, especially of the type you
are talking about.
