Re: STC as batch

Oh sure, anything you can do in an STC you can do in a batch job (security, etc., permitting). Just clone the JCL, slap a job card on it, and submit it. Repeat until you get it right. Charles -Original Message- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU] On

Hi, Thanks for the reply. In our environment the STARTED TASK class are not active. So the STC was failing with access violation. So figured out the way to run with my ID until the STC access gets fixed. Peter On Nov 26, 2016 5:39 AM, "Jesse 1 Robinson" wrote: > I

Charles, Long time no talk to I was wondering if I could compile the rexx clist or program and link it and then make a call from another language , i.e.; Cobol or Assembler. Based on what you said it looks like I can ..I thinking about building the Rexx Interface driver to handle the calls.

In some cases, compiled REXX performs slower than interpreted REXX. This is because the variable have to be created with each call, and destroyed upon return.. On Fri, Nov 25, 2016 at 12:53 PM, scott Ford wrote: > All: > > Has anyone compile a Rexx clist with arguments...then

You can also add a job to the IEFJOBS file if you have it defined, and you can then have a Started Job. On Fri, Nov 25, 2016 at 1:51 PM, Wayne Bickerdike wrote: > For CICS, yes it can run as a started job. > > CA-Datacom can run as a job too. > > Whatever you want to do, try

@Scott, there are two ways to compile Rexx: in one you end up with something that behaves like "normal" Rexx, but performs a little better in you have the library licensed* on the target machine. I am not familiar with that beyond the sentence I just wrote. The other way produces object code that

Re: STC as batch

For a long time, it was customary for CICS folks to run their regions as batch jobs. Justification focused on handling of JES message data sets, which benefited from much more flexibility in batch than as STC. The answer is, as mentioned, STCJOBS, which allows an actual started task to specify

STCs and Jobs are different MVS "units of work." Your question is analogous to asking "is it possible for a dog to be a cat?" No, it is not. But you can train a dog to catch mice. You can train a cat to fetch a ball. What aspect of an STC would you like in batch? Or, what aspect of batch would

Display config (D M) commands will show whether and how many zIIPs are online to an LPAR. They will not tell you, however, how much if any actual usage there is. We assign zIIPs to each LPAR that runs software capable of using zIIP MSUs. From what I've heard, if nothing in an LPAR is likely to
