Re: Parmlib syntax check macro

Each parmlib member has different syntax rules - That is why there is probably not a general parm checker. I have not looked a z/OSMF to see if it helps with these members. The best I do is use the HILITE function in ISPF to see if there is anything obvious, like missing commands or

I would think that searching on CBTTAPE.ORG for things like PARM or PARMLIB or CHECK or CHECKER Might be beneficial. Lizette > -Original Message- > From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU] On > Behalf Of Nathan Astle > Sent: Sunday, September 27, 2015 9:16

I am not aware of any parmlib checkers. Some members I use the HILITE function for REXX to try and observe what might be incorrect. What member or members are you interested in? Lizette > -Original Message- > From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU] On >

Yes, it is BS. But posting about it on this list is what we in the US call "preaching to the choir." What do we DO about it? Did you read my OP below? Charles -Original Message- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU] On Behalf Of Vince Coen Sent: Sunday,

Well that is what we call in the UK a load of BS. Cobol or for that matter any programming language used for applications has no bearing on the security of any system or systems. Much more is the security procedures in place of any system that is exposed to the internet directly or

I think the stats on migration failures show that many fail regardless of the target migration mainly is that they over estimate project time, and quality of the target systems being used in place of m/f. Taking a straight view the mainframe is slow compared to running on servers on a

The big one in that is the Australian Federal Government's CentreLink. They are attempting to replace a mainframe-based solution with a SAP solution. The then Federal Treasurer, the esteemed Mr. Joe Hocking (now out on his arse after we got a new Prime Minister), claimed it was because the
