Peter, I will share here something that I also suggested to the respondent to my earlier mhvcfs documentation suggestion with regard to the available zEDC examples for non-C-language HLL's: In the longer term, a "dashboard" of received documentation suggestions/corrections with a simple

@Ed Jaffe: thanks for the tip about the TEA, but where do you find it? IPCS STATUS FAILDATA displays it but, in my dumps, PSA+90 and PDS+A8 both have zero in the address part. I don't recall seeing what the reason code was with the 0C4. That is highly relevant. But assuming it was a program

I could search for the zero bytes using SRST but presumably that would hit the same problem going off the end of a page Do not presume anything. Read the POp. Carefully. "May or may not" means exactly what it says. It is allowed to do it and it is allowed not to do it, architecturally. In

According to the IBM Docs team, the "site feedback" is intended ONLY for communicating problems about the site (i.e., the IBM Docs infrastructure) not for communicating information to/for the manual owners. After a recent change in the IBM Docs infrastructure (it was different prior to that

From the COBOL Language Reference: The ADDRESS OF special register references the address of a data item in the LINKAGE SECTION, the LOCAL-STORAGE SECTION, or the WORKING-STORAGE SECTION. Note the exclusion of the FILE SECTION from that list. We had to set up an assembler "get address of"

Hi Ed, There are two ways you could do this. The first one is by assigning reserve processors in the image profile. After the LPAR is up and running you can config the extra CPUs online. You could automate this pretty easily. You don't have to make any changes going back and forward with/without

CBU Woes

Esteemed Sysprogs, We use CBU to activate additional engines and capacity twice a year. The image profiles on the HMC match the LPAR names and there seems to be no way to associate alternate image profiles to be used while CBU is active. Therefore, we have been manually updating the image

Interesting. When transferring to ASCII platforms, the BDW and RDW are stripped off, though RDW can be retained with a SITE command. So RECFM=V could be included as a like attribute file for concatenation. Michael At 07:36 PM 4/28/2023, Paul Gilmartin wrote: On Fri, 28 Apr 2023 18:55:47
