Re: Data flow for 1403-N1?

From GA24-3073-8_1403_printer.pdf on bitsavers, in figure 4, it looks like 48 train characters align with 132 print positions, and gcd(132,48) = 12 chain characters, or every 11th print position, can be aligned at once. (Chain printers are all except 3 and N1.) The formula on page 27 indicate

The doc will be fixed. For example, ASC Mode Primary, in any AMODE Secondary, in any AMODE Access Register (AR), in AMODE 24 or AMODE 31 only The MNOTE will be improved. For example, SETFRR A CANNOT BE ISSUED IN AMODE 64 PRIOR TO z/OS 1.8. SETFRR A CANNOT BE ISSUED IN AMODE 64 WHILE IN

Z/OS has operator commands to display subsystems and command prefixs etc. etc. . I dont see a command to display Name Token Pairs. Vendor products such as SYSVIEW are able to list System Level Name Token Pairs, is there an MVS Operator Command to display this information ? . . Are System level

There is no operator command to show name/tokens. Search IBM-main archives for ECVTNTTP for threads discussing this very topic from about 5 years ago. On 31 May 2014, at 18:56, esst...@juno.com esst...@juno.com wrote: Z/OS has operator commands to display subsystems and command prefixs

This result has major theological implications too. Aquinas in his Summa Contra Gentiles discusses, at great length, the question whether the archangels---Gabriel, Michael, Raphael, and that ilk---pass through the intervening space when they travel from place to place. John Gilmore, Ashland, MA

Is there such a thing as RAID S tape storage? Thus helping to ensure data integrity in the face of a tape loss? Of course managing tape dsn churn would be a challenge.. but big data says keep it all. :-) Rob Schramm On May 19, 2014 4:32 PM, Ed Finnell efinnel...@aol.com wrote: Topic drift

Is there a significant performance penalty for non-aligned operands?

Once upon a time IIRC there was a significant performance penalty for non-aligned operands (loading a fullword from an address not evenly divisible by four, etc.). Does that still exist for modern Z processors? (Once upon a time it didn't work at all, but that's AFH, to use an acronym I learned
