IBM Debug Tool in pure batch

2008-12-31 Thread Michael Bradley
I'm trying to use the IBM Debug Tool to list some data names during a Batch run, with the DT commands in INSPIN, and capturing the responses in INSPLOG.  All is well, until I attempt to continue a command onto a second line.  Since it's a COBOL program that's running, I start the command in 8,

Previously, I said: Two replies I received suggested that I copy the LRECL=32756 datasets to a smaller LRECL, and compare those. I didn't put much hope in this because I had already run the compare overriding both input LRECLs to be 29175, and I have had considerable success for many

How-TO: Non-production CA-7 usage

2007-08-20 Thread Michael Bradley
I'd like to use CA-7 to automate jobs, but in our shop it takes literally 2+ months of 1970's paperwork to get a job start approved, and there are no guarantees that it will be accepted. One only has to attempt this once to never try it again. So our current solution to this obtuse behavior is

How do you handle security for TSO Reconnect

2007-08-20 Thread Michael Bradley
We have had some kind of implementation of tn3270 TAKEOVER that always destroys the TSO session. Our job idle timeout is 30 minutes, but with this ridiculous implementation TSO is now 1-2 seconds. The reason? Security. Apparently it's irrelevant that a tn3270 client attempting to reconnect to a

REXX Trace in Session Manager

This note is cross-posted to IBM-MAIN TSO-REXX Does anyone find the TSO Session Manager of use when tracing execs executed in ISPF? (Or anything else?) I test almost all my code in TSOBATCH using trace, and I feel productive doing this; I can scroll backwards and forwards. But I have an

2007-08-13 Thread Michael Bradley
This is cross-posted to ISPF-L IBM-MAIN because SUPERC is a widely used utility. I'm attempting to compare two files, with DCB LRECL=32756, BLKSIZE=32760 / 0, and RECFM=VB, and the max actual record length of 29171. When I use the UPDLDEL (update long control) option, I get a DELTA file with no

Tom, == What I have been told is that z/OS no longer uses the alternate tracks, so the reformat removes them from the VTOC. Frankly, I haven't looked into this deep enough to know how you would ever get a bad track since there is so little use of real 3390 disk volumes

Hi, I'm trying to determine if our outsourcer vendor is backing up our datasets. Here are the facts: A. When I do a LISTC ENT() CL HIST, all 200+ of our Endevor VSAM files have the same MANAGEMENTCLASS---MCLASX, the same LBACKUP 000.000. (which I interpret to mean never backed up.
