Re: WHERE in debugger?

I've downloaded the debugger manuals at the IRS, but they're not well indexed. I've had to do text searches for things that should have been in the index. And I still don't know where the is a consistent LANGX format among products. Are ASMLANGX and EQALANGX interchangeable, or do you need to

Re: WHERE in debugger?

This is a link to the PDF versions on the IBM Debugger manuals. I personally have not used the debugging tool but I'm sure there are commands/displays that will map out variables. I know I've seen that in the Fault Analyzer tool. Looks like there are manuals for the version 16.0, 15.0 and 14.2

Do the IDF and z/OS Debugger have commands given an address will return return a load module, csect and symbol for that address? What about storage mapped by a dsect? -- Shmuel (Seymour J.) Metz http://mason.gmu.edu/~smetz3 עַם יִשְׂרָאֵל חַי נֵ֣צַח יִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל לֹ֥א יְשַׁקֵּ֖ר

Re: Assistance with Converting IMS DB to MySQL DB

Jason,Please excuse the terrible formatting from my phone.Does the DBD describe every byte of every segment?If so, you won't need the copybooks.Also you will need to reformat the IMS unload file before reloading into DB2, at the very least because of keys cascading from parent segment(s).You do

Re: Assistance with Converting IMS DB to MySQL DB

The only fields that are required to be defined in a DBD are the keys, indexed fields, and any other fields that the application wants to be able to reference in Segment Search Arguments (SSAs). In the IMS system I work on, the 99% of the segment fields are not defined in the DBD. And even if

Re: zOSMF - Installing z/OS 3.1 Observations

My Biggest issue, is there is NO flexibility in z/OSMF Software deployments and if you need to change 1 thing, it completely wipes out everything. They have built in checks for every single dataset, so IF it thinks there is a duplicate it stops everything. In my 40 years in mvs/zos it has

If z/OSMF were an ISV product that you had to pay for, it would not sell very well, IMO. There would be trial installs, but very few licenses sold. Mike Shaw MVS/QuickRef Support Group Chicago-Soft, Ltd. On Fri, May 17, 2024 at 6:51 AM Shaffer, Terri <

But this is why z/OSMF is NOT ready for prime time. In SERVERPAC I could go back into the dialogs and change things and still continue with NO ISSues. In the garbage called z/OSMF, it wipes out everything. I lost all my WORKFLOW DIALOGS because I had to change the catalog setting Only!!
