RFE for new SMPP support in zOS

After discussion at SHARE, I created an RFE (back in March... sorry for the late notice, but life happened and I forgot about it) to add support for the SMPP (Short Message Peer-to-Peer) protocol, for outbound messages. This is the protocol used to communicate the the servers that support the

Levi, Ray, and Shoup's product VPS (Virtual Print) has a component named DRS which does what I think you want - it captures print that CICS or IMS thinks is going to LU1/LU3, and puts the info on the spool. VPS could then print it. CASI has a product named CICS2PDF which can create output as

You're using SPC so you need to use __xregs() to access the plist. argc and argv are not supported in that environment. Why do you use SPC? Have you got a hard requirement not to use LE? > On 11 May 2016, at 4:57 AM, Pierre Fichaud wrote: > > I have an assembler program

Somebody has to parse R1->length+data if you expect argc and argv[]. If you tell C not to do it then who is going to do it? You could also take a look at __R1 if you want to do this yourself. It is somewhere obscure -- in the L/R perhaps. Charles -Original Message- From: IBM Mainframe

Re: Assembler ATTACHing C

Doesn't the NOSTART compiler option prevent the "normal" C startup code (CEESTART) from being generated, and thus makes you provide your own startup logic? Does your C "main" provide that logic for itself? I also notice you are using Systems Programming C with (DEF(USE_SPC), so that means you

There is a section in the P/G dealing with calling C from assembler. It makes a difference whether the assembler code is LE-enabled or not, and if not, whether you want to build the LE environment yourself or let C do it by default. Also whether the C is XPLINK or not. Charles -Original

I'm a firm believer in DDDEFs. In addition to the compelling reasons offered by Mark Zelden, DDDEFs make a product 'self-contained', a quality that can be invaluable to a person who has to pick up the product after the original installer/maintainer has left the fold. Trying to find all the
