This code has been changed since I last compiled it on Z but I don't think I changed that reference. It appears that PATH_MAX went away somewhere between V2R2 and V2R4. I see some comments in limits.h that are consistent with that. I picked up _POSIX_PATH_MAX from limits.h. I am running

I have some code that compiles both under Windows Visual Studio and z/OS XLC. In Windows the maximum length of a file path is defined by _MAX_PATH and __MAX_PATH (I guess MS thinks two macros are better than one). What is the equivalent macro for XLC? Failing that, what *is* the maximum path

Like Gil said, I'm not sure that will work in this case. My theory is that the two SDSF fields are simply concatenated together, including any trailing blanks, when they arrive at the host. So splitting lines without splitting words would introduce more blanks that would interfere with the

When you invoke it from JCL you are invoking it with LINK or something similar. Any program that runs from PGM= should run from LINK, CALL or ATTACH provided the usual "MVS" linkage convention is honored by the invoker. (Yes, it would be technically possible, but relatively unlikely, for a program

In general, you can invoke any utility, but some require that you be APF authorized. In the basic form, R1 points to a one-word PLIST with the VL (high bet) set, and the single parameter contains a halfword length followed by a parameter string. Most utilities document and support additional
