Re: USS Environment variables

Gil, I don't think that "environmental attributes" referred to by bpx4env are the same thing as environment variables. I could be wrong, but I don't think that environment variables exist except for in Language Environment (or the C library of a given non-LE C-compiler). For example, if

Re: USS Environment variables

Dave, I'm not sure what context you are running in, but if you are running under Language Environment, then you might look at the "z/OS Language Environment Vendor Interfaces" book. There are 74 hits of "environment variable" in this book, including in the CEEEDB (enclave data block): CEE

Re: USS Environment variables - Google BARD 370 Assembler

Just for fun, I asked Google's AI (bard.google.com) the following: "What is the format of a linux environment block? How could I navigate an environment block in 370 assembler? The code it returned is half GCC assembler code, and something more like 370 ASM code. Cheers, Clem Clarke

USS Environment variables

We are beginning to write support for USS. I personally don't know much at all about USS (there are others here who do), so please help me along if there are terms I'm not using quite correctly. We have a need for our code to access environment variables. I am being told that they can be acces
