AW: Re: Interested in BASH becoming part of z/OS UNIX? Vote for requirement 60048

2014-10-18 Thread Peter Hunkeler
In my opinion the problem with the OP's post is more that he apparently thinks that BASH in and of itself will compromise z/OS security. No, that's not at all what I'm thinking! Shell shock has just been the trigger to open the long due requirement. If we offer some piece of software to our

As I read thru the MVS Extended Addressability Guide I am trying to understand restrictions, In general, you should assume that a z/OS service does not support AMODE 64 unless it says it does. In general, you should assume that a z/OS service that supports AMODE 64 does not support data above

Re: XM POST ERRET=

2014-10-18 Thread Peter Relson
The ERRET routine applies to cases where the invoker has no opportunity to cover things: - use of SPOST - blowing up within the target address space attempting to post the XM ECB. It is up to the invoker's recovery to deal with a problem in the invoker's thread (such as an invalid address

Paul, There would certainly be no rationale for having AMODE(64) if there were no above-the-bar virtual storage. Since, however, we do have this storage there is sometimes a rationale for using AMODE(64) below the bar, and the ability to invoke a facility from AMODE(64) code is then also

It's as much as I can do just to spell CoBOL but, as far as I can tell, it's not ready for prime time. Even its most avid proponent signs off thus: TomR COBOL is the Language of the Future! We are trapped in the present. We cannot get to the future. The nearest we can
