Re: Micro Focus bought by Open Text.

Yes, I think I read it was a class project! That sure beat the simple programs we had to write when I was taking computer classes. Around 1996 I was looking for something easier to use than the company terminal emulator we were provided, and I ended up getting "Distinct Intelliterm" for

Re: Micro Focus bought by Open Text.

Open Text, at our shop, is the 3270 emulator that Tech Services uses. It was known as Hummingbird or Host Explorer. Everyone else uses BlueZone. Looking, we also have an ftp client, LPQ, LPR, nslookup, traceroute, and WyseTerm. But none of us use those. On Fri, Aug 26, 2022, 08:49 Carmen Vitullo

Re: How to use LISTDSI from Rexx under Unix shell?

I think you are correct about LISTDSI not being in the shell Rexx environment. The various documents are not complete or consistent in what they say about TSO "external" routines, and the description of exactly what "address TSO" in a Rexx script run from the shell does for you with respect to

Re: How to use LISTDSI from Rexx under Unix shell?

Thank you Hank. I was able to use those examples and your suggestion to get something working that uses LISTDSI. I will post my results later after a bit more experimentation. It appears that LISTDSI is not *immediately* available in a Rexx script started directly from the shell, but *IS*

Hi Matthew, I was thinking the same. I would suggest DELETE x.y.z NSCR before the DEFINE though. Regards, David On 2022-08-26 10:57, Matthew Stitt wrote: I wonder if a DEFINE NONVSAM RECATALOG command would come close to resolving your issue. Matthew On Fri, 26 Aug 2022 11:52:35 +0100, Jack

Re: How to use LISTDSI from Rexx under Unix shell?

That looks like LISTDSI is not in the function package for the Unix shell. IMHO, this is something that the documentation should explicitly mention in an obvious location. z/OS 2.5 TSO/E REXX Reference, SA32-0972-50. includes LISTDSI on p. 94 of Built-in functions in Chapter 4. Functions,

Re: realtime monitoring of various storage subpools [EXTERNAL]

Note that with SDSF for z/OS 2.5, you can issue the "L" action against a specific subpool+key combination and this will take you into a detailed view of every block of storage. You can then use point-and-shoot on the address to invoke the SDSF memory browse function to examine the contents.
