Hi,
Has anyone seen a port for tcpping for z/OS, either directly under z/OS or
under USS?
Tcpping lets you find out if a specific port is accessible on a remote system.

For the CBT recovery example, the PC definition has PRIMARY (alet 0) and HOME

I always hated when auditors bashed us for non-issues but then again, these
were often simple to show we took some sort of futile action.

You mean "console commands" because MVS is only 1 product that implements
console commands. Each subsystem on the SSI can optionally receive

Retry means retry the UOW, not (necessarily) the failed instruction.
For example, if the code is aware that a control block / address space may be
gone while it wou;d be referenced, retrying means branching to the logic where
the item was known to be gone.

It's C/370 circa 1988 (AD/Cycle) ... just one example of the many quirks

AFAIK TCAM and the 3850 were defunct by the time OPERCMDS came along. The last
I heard, MSS staging drives had to be either 3330 or 3350 in compatibility mode
and TCAM didn't support Y2K.

Well, it is enough to open both MVS System Commands and JES2 Commands
manuals.
OBEY is not exactly the system command, however it is widely used.
My favourite is QUIESCE.
There are also other commands which I (almost) never use, but I

My response was directed at Bob Bridges, who indicated he is in
California. In California the 'contract' I was asked to sign is not
enforceable, which is why the back page said 'Not applicable to
California and Minnesota employees'. Yes, some states have stronger
labor laws than others.
There was no quid pro quo. There was an implied threat of firing but they
didn’t fire me. Probably because I was the main programmer for the bankruptcy
team. I provided the reports for the legal team indicating vendors we owed
money to. It was 492 million. Funny how it sticks in my mind 30
Claiming that signing is SOP should be a red flag. I would be suspicous of
anything they said after that.
Did they offer you a quid pro quo? I don't think so.

I worked for a company going through bankruptcy. Alvarez & Marsal were brought
in to run the bankruptcy process. First thing they wanted was for all of us to
sign a non disclosure agreement. The penalty was harsh. They could literally
sue you and take your assets. I refused to sign.
No, START.

In the US it varies by state, but in general the company can require what it
wants. If you refuse to sign, they may negotiate or may refuse to hire you.
Certain contract terms, e.g., yellow dog (non-compete) are illegal in some
states.
Software is subject to multiple forms of IP protection,
Unions are often needed to keep exploitative companies in check, but unions can

I you control your console commands through SAF, you have fairly fine
granularity.
BTW, a couple of decades ago I reported a similar issue .on a command that is
extremely common. If you're doing an audit, look at the common commands in
addition to the rare ones.
