Re: Have you enabled MIDAW and zHPF? If not, why not?

I'd like to take a private survey to determine which sites have
enabled both MIDAW and zHPF, or if you haven't enabled either or
both, why.  It's come to my attention that some sites may not have
enabled these options.  In the case of MIDAW, you have to take action
to place MIDAW=NO into IECIOSxx, but for zHPF, you have to turn it on
with ZHPF=YES in IECIOSxx.  Both options can significantly lower your
I/O overhead and increase throughput, and I haven't come up with a
reason for not enabling them.


MIDAW, zHPF, HYPERPAV are enabled on every DASD which support it.
No reasons found to not enable any of the features.

I have reviewed Shmuel's language, and it still seems to me that he
was equating a hardware RESERVE with an ENQ macro,

Try a remedial reading course.

My problem with Shmuel's posts is that they are often contentious
for trhe sake of contention,

Shmuel,

Experience is the teacher. My problem is that a lot of folks with the 
experience will be retiring, hence a lot of experience and insight goes 
away..fwiw

 We are working on adding help for messages where help is not
 available elsewhere, but including syntax descriptions and 
 diagrams to a message manual to explain a COBOL syntax error 
 would mean duplicating what is in the Language Reference Manual 
 already.
 
 1. Nobody asked for that.
 
 2. It wouldn't help.
 
 What would help is an explanation of the *specific* errors that cause
 the message to be issued. The messages are not self explanatory,
 despite half a century of IBM's claims that they are.
 
 For example, P/I has a compiler messages manual, but the
 explanations still require you to read the Language Reference Manual
 to solve the problem.
 
 I've solved plenty of problems using the explanation in the PL/I
 messages manuals[1] without recourse to the language reference
 manuals, also there certainly some infrequent cases where I needed to
 look up the syntax. But I have never seen a COBOL manual that came
 close to the quality of the PL/I manuals I've used.
 
 [1] Not that they were perfect.

One investigator thinks Alan Turing's death was an accidental release
of cyanide from lab experiments instead of suicide.
