While an individual's experience may be typical, it is seldom exhaustive.
We had a paper tape punch on our system well past 1977. I first used it in
1973 on a 370/155 but I know it was transferred from an older system and
survived several CPU upgrades. The corresponding paper tape readers

was a little thin when it came to the adding and removing the virus from
the mainframe. But, it's not that unexpected of a time travel series.
But, I had to laugh when they installed the tape reel with the write

Hi
I was looking in the notes on user SVC's
For type 2 says can not suspend their caller
That means suspend macro
Would anyone know about ieavpse2
Thanks

We have three CECs residing in two data centers. Counting both production and
DR LPARs, we have upwards of two dozen altogether. All disk and tape are cross
connected locally or via DWDM, so that every LPAR is connectable to every
device. The whole enterprise is mapped by a single IODF where

Right! Had forgotten that! If a program skipped to channel 'n' and there was
no 'n' hole punch the 14xx would perform a high-speed eject of an entire box
of printer paper. Fun to watch, but earned the perpetrator the

It was exactly as shown in the Wikipedia photo. It was a very durable, tough,
high-fiber paper, not at all the same as TTY punch tape -- other than the
superficial similarity. After all, it made a trip around the sensors every page

I can't see any generic reason not to enable system symbols, but like many
changes that IBM has introduced over the years, it could have a deleterious
effect in particular cases. I would not make this change enterprise-wide
without publicizing it and preferably testing extensively.

Thanks, Scott. Just be aware that for the RACROUTE calls you are responsible
