Re: IBM-MAIN Digest - 17 Apr 2018 to 18 Apr 2018 (#2018-108)

Hi listers, I was wondering if there was an easy way to get all the authorised libraries on a z/OS system. I am looking ultimately for a Rexx solution. Now I obviously know about 'D PROG,APF' but according to the manual there are many more authorised libraries than these. Also, there is

Re: IRS Assembler Java Big Plus Jobs

There are two very big reasons to replace assembler with Java. The first is the higher availability of Java programmers versus assembler programmers. The second is that Java, for the most part, will run on zIIPs and reduce the cost of software. The z13 and z14 can run Java faster than any other

Re: Does anyone have a sample program to list in storage RACLISTED profiles.

Clarification Member/grouping profiles for things like CICS are merged at RACLIST time. I need to be able to see what the final profile looks like once the merger is done. Since this is in storage, CSA if GLOBAL or a data space if not global, I figured that would be the quickest place to look.

Re: IRS Assembler Java Big Plus Jobs

Many of the assembler routines will probably have to be re-written in the hideous c/c++ languages to be called by java (not sure if the JNI supports assembler). Probably all the assembler could be rewritten in c or c++ but java is a lot nicer to work with. -Original Message- From: IBM
