Re: VTS and volume categories (Friday questions)

If different LPARs using the tape library have different TMCs, then they must also have different category codes assigned so the correct tapes are used for scratch mounts. On Sat, 20 May 2023 at 02:43, Radoslaw Skorupka < 0471ebeac275-dmarc-requ...@listserv.ua.edu> wrote: > Volume

@Ann, "was this page helpful?" completely misses the point. #1, a page could be helpful and also wrong. How does a reader report "the page had a lot of helpful info on it but paragraph 3 is misleading"? #2, "helpful" is way too low a bar. IBM-MAIN is "helpful" and it's free. Google is

Typical. 80% *wrote something*. That remains me "how many banks are using Windows NT". A lot. It was ~25 years ago. However they'd been using Windows NT ...but not for core banking systems. Now banks *consider* moving *some* workload to the cloud. Cloud? What does it mean? Just someone else's

VTS and volume categories (Friday questions)

Volume categories (0001, 0002, and so on) are useful for library partitioning. Each SMS-plex can use it's own set of categories (00x1, 00x2...). Categorie are good to request big tape of small tape (JA, JK) or newer or older (JB, JC...). However the last sentence was good for real tapes. In

Re: ISPF HILITE Question

Thanks for that. I just started experimenting with "functions" in COBOL 6.2 and saw those constructs, and just hadn't tried them yet. Steve Thompson On 5/19/2023 3:58 AM, Frank Swarbrick wrote: Yes, the ISPF COBOL highlight is not up to date at the moment. They got up to date a few

Re: ISPF HILITE Question

Take a look at CBT Tape file 967 from Tom Conley - it is the CBT Usermod Collection for ISPF (aka CUCI) and supports many additional hilite languages and enhancements. Lionel B. Dyck <>< Website: https://www.lbdsoftware.com Github: https://github.com/lbdyck “Worry more about your character

Re: ISPF HILITE Question

As an enhancement to the HILITE command, it would be nice if the list of keywords for any given language could be edited to customize them for individual use. I use PL/I to edit SQL statements, and a few tweaks would be nice...lacking an SQL type, of course. Cheers, Jon.

Re: ISPF HILITE Question

Yes, the ISPF COBOL highlight is not up to date at the moment. They got up to date a few releases back, but at least on my system they are not up to date with COBOL 6.3 and 6.4 at the least. Not sure you need BYTE-LENGTH for this, though. FUNCTION LENGTH() or LENGTH OF works just fine for
