Hmmm - I can see the naif (me in this instance) having a hard time not tripping
over the and, or and true/false implementations.
Could lead to some seriously ugly run-time bugs (i.e. not reported as errors)
for those of us from somewhat varied backgrounds.
Especially that attempt to describe a
We do insurance math development in C since 1993, and the normal callers
are PL/1
(on the mainframe platform, there are other platforms, too).
We decided that the main goal is that PL/1 callers feel comfortable, so
we never request
them to put hex zeroes at the end of the strings that we get,
As EXECIO got mentioned...
In the Munich System z Technical University conference 2 weeks ago Marna
Walle mentioned that in z/OS 2.1 EXECIO is previewed to perform I/O to VBS
(as in Spanned :-) ) data sets.
To me that says SMF. And removes one lameness in EXECIO.
It would be nice to
+1 for taking a look at the language - in case its party tricks are
compelling. But I wonder how many packages are written in Lua - and that's
my real beef.

Ken,
The reference that perhaps comes closest to what you want is the book
OS/390-z/OS Security Audit and Control Features. It used to be available from
ISACA but is now out of print. It is a bit dated (2004), somewhat verbose, and
mostly focused on RACF.
Also from ISACA is the 2009 checklist

they use System

I basically gave up on REXX, particularly for text processing, ages ago. Even
for my RMF reports it's easier to ftp (via hipersockets) down to zLinux and use

Must admit I do little scripting in z/OS these
One addition to make it more clear (hopefully):

First, IBM's C is in no way different from other's C.
Then: C passes EVERY parameters as values, that is:
if you pass integers (BIN FIXED(31)) to a subroutine, normally PL/1 -
and FORTRAN etc. -
pass the address of the integer, but C passed the value of the integer -
that is, Reg 1

No Python on z/OS, not now, apparently not ever. Van Rossum doesn't believe
in it:
How important is z/OS? I'm very skeptical of the viability of any OS
that uses an encoding that is not a superset of ASCII.
Finger firmly on the pulse of the industry there...
