Currently there are two options to the future of MFNetDisk.
1. Free product.

Byte (pair) reversal will be visited upon you.
Not just x86 -- Solaris, Apple, DEC, HP, Honeywell, etc. have models that are
little-endian.

It's not just in binary.
The left-most digit in any base is the most significant because it changes the
least as you count up.
It also gives you the order of magnitude.

Hello
For DB2 Z/OS
What's the diffrence beetween table-controlled partitionning (after the
v8) and index-controlled parttionning ? What are the advantage /
disadvantage ?
Why to have implemented the table-controlled partitionning ?

Response gets exponential with GRS ring as you add systems to the ring.
I haven't done RING with more than 4 systems, and we had to convert to STAR
because of response issues.
Admittedly, this was
Actually they are two separate issues. I worked on a CDC minicomputer that
was big-endian but their literature nonetheless numbered the bits from least
to most significant. When I questioned this -- having been brought up on the
IBM convention of numbering from the most significant -- the CDC folks
You are at risk in using the "address" of the JFCB in the TIOT. It might be an
address and it might not. It IS however always a "SWA virtual address token."
Pass it to the SWAREQ macro (probably documented in Authorized Macros but does
not require authorization) and voila! Get back an address yo

No, MIM is not an option.

IBM states that FASTCOPY from CA-PDSMAN causes issues.
Does anyone know of any issues with using FASTCOPY instead of IEBCOPY?

I'm looking for RMDS users that have secured reports using CA TopSecret.
The RMDS documentation refers specifically to RACF rather than "security
subsystem" or SAF. We have figured out how to secure the report but not how
to provide selective access.

One of these days, for your sins, you will have to work in a (x86)
little-endian world.
Byte (pair) reversal will be visited upon you.

No - Bit0 is the left-most bit
