It is NOT a percentage of capacity, it is a TIME based calculation, as in; not how much CP it is using, but how LONG it has been. I will admit that it is not very clear as to what the calculation is, but my first recommendation is to note in the PMR that it hit this limit and ask Level 2 a

As long as they use Windows Metafile format and can print through the Windows print driver structure they'll work. LibreOffice Draw should work. Gimp would probably work as well, though business overlays are typically text and vector graphics rather than images, and for color printing its

Thanks, AL. I did read the manual, but unfortunately the description of PRCNTLIM is rather fuzzy (at least to me). It is NOT a percentage of capacity, it is a TIME based calculation, as in;not how much CP it is using, but how LONG it has been. It is a percentage value that is to be

No answer? Interesting! I was thinking this is one of the easier questions for the experienced debuggers on the list. You would need access to the SLIP code to answer this question. I did look into this around 4 years ago, it just took me a while to find the notes from that investigation.

We seem to have hit a show stopper in our effort to implement COBOL v5.1 (upgrading from COBOL v4.2). A collection of nightly batch jobs incurs sporadic, seemingly random S0C4 abends when the main program and a couple of subroutines are compiled with the COBOL v5.1 compiler, with the

Re: Accessing VSAM Data from non-zOS platform

2014-10-08 Thread Timothy Sipples
I think we can safely set aside all the file transfer options discussed in this thread as nonresponsive. The original poster specified there's a requirement for live/real-time data access -- that CICS TS, z/OS Batch, and Java programs must all concurrently read and update the VSAM-based data.
