Remove a system from a SYSPLEX but keep it in the GRS ring

2012-09-04 Thread Gregory Peck (CITEC)
Hi, Any real world experiences on bringing up a system that was previously part of a basic SYSPLEX, whilst keeping it in the same GRS ring as the other SYSPLEX members? The idea is to bring up this system in XCFLOCAL mode, but I'd still like to have it in the same GRS ring as before (for

Not sure what you mean. char[] delimits strings with '\0' in every implementation in the world, I think. std::string allows any character and keeps track of length internally. string::c_str() returns a '\0' terminated char[] everywhere. I would be interested to see a char[] or std::string

C does not, at bottom, have strings. It views them as arrays of single characters. When it was realized that this is at best a dubious notion, nul-delimited strings were grafted on to the structure of C, and the scar tissue shows. It is, however, possible to declare a string without specifying

It can be done, you need to define and connect CTCs between all the non-sysplex system(s) and the sysplex systems (see GRSCNFxx http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/zos/v1r12/index.jsp?topic=%2Fcom.ibm.zos.r12.ieae200%2Fgrscnf.htm). If you don't fully interconnect the non-sysplex system(s)

I assume you meant '\0' and not '0'. Unless Jobn has been assigned a string previously, strcmp should fail. (Actually it would invoke undefined behavior.) strcpy does not care about the previous contents of the destination. (strcat does but that is a different function.) If the length of x
