Re: DCOLLECT Ouput recort Structure

2012-07-01 Thread Ravi Gaur
Thankyou all for your responses..Appreciated.

May I have another quick question on the Dcollect TYPE'D ..

I am trying to print the following fields using build statement in ICETOOL get 
0C7 - Data exception:

108(X'6C')CHARACTER 4 DCDEXPDT EXPIRATION DATE (ddd F)

It's PD(Packed decimal) and  could not see reference point to convert it to 
print (basically needed a manual refrence point so that if use other variable 
could convert them as well).

Code :- 
OPTION VLSHRT
MERGE FIELDS=COPY
INCLUDE COND=((9,2,CH,EQ,C'D ',AND,  
  74,1,BI,EQ,B'1...',OR, 
  74,1,BI,EQ,B'...1'))   
OUTFIL FNAMES=REPORTD,VTOF,  
BUILD=(1,4,  * RDW   
   5:29,44,  * DATASET NAME  
   49:83,6,  * VOLUME SERIAL NUMBER  
   57:117,4,PD,M11)  * LAST REFERENCE DATE = 0C7 
Error
END

Re: SV: Why is GRS ENQ needed in SMFDUMP program?

2012-07-01 Thread J R
A nagging doubt since my earlier post compelled me to go look at the 
UCB mapping.  It seems that the bit is actually a one-byte count 
which makes sense for concurrent RESERVE activity.

 The RESERVE macro did (still does?) not directly do the hardware
 reserve.   Rather, it set a bit in the UCB to tell the next IO to the
 unit to prepend  a reserve CCW to the channel program. 
 
 That was the original design, but these days there's an option to
 issue an I/O with a reserve CCW at the time that the ENQ SVC issued by
 the RESERVE macro obtains the resource. I don't recall what release
 added the option.

I mentioned before my wife got con'ed into going to POK in charge of
loosely-coupled architecture where she created peer-coupled shared
data architecture. she didn't stay long, in part of little uptake
(except for IMS hot-standby, until sysplex) and in part because of
ongoing battles with communication group trying to force her into using
vtam/sna for loosely-couple coordination. misc. past posts
http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/submain.html#shareddata

when we were doing cluster scaleup for ha/cmp (both for commercial/DBMS
and scientific/numeric intensive) ... we didn't have to worry about the
communication group ... old post about early Jan1992 meeting in
Ellison's conference room
http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/95.html#13

what we did have to worry about ... old email about cluster scalenup
http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/lhwemail.html#medusa

the last email in above is possibly only hrs before being told the
cluster scaleup stuff is transferred and we weren't allowed to work on
anything with more than four processors. then a couple weeks later it
being announced for scientific/numeric-intensive *ONLY*
http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2001n.html#6000clusters1 920217 ... scientific and

If IBM were willing, the ISPF WSA would be a good start.

and maybe the TSO dependant parts would work properly in an

Why bother? Run the z/OS side in a batch job running IKJEFT01.

And for simple editing, I prefer vim or gvim.

I wonder if there is a way to release a specific sysout DD for a
running STC?

Assuming that you want a solution in the STC code rather than in the
JCL, use SETPRT DISP=SCHEDULE. If the DD has FREE=CLOSE, DISP=EXTERNAL
will also work.

the main idea is to free some of the space which a specific STC is
holding while avoiding restarting the STC.

For JES2 you must ensure that the dataset has its own IOT.

It is now fully supported to compile and link with z/OS release X and
