IBM has done some recent work improving SMF efficiency, for example via SMF
exploitation of the new zEnterprise Data Compression (zEDC) feature. If you
have moderate to heavy SMF activity then I would advise taking a close look
at the zEDC feature. (There are other reasons to consider zEDC, too.)

JCL is neither simple or powerful. It's a piece of poorly designed junk that
should never have made GA. Even it's original implementers admit that it's
rubbish. Try explaining the reverse logic of condition codes to a youngster and
they will die laughing.
Hey, how do I do a loop in this code?
Robin,
I know Share usually have a nice ASM training at the Conference. And you
get to attend some of the other tracks as well.

Timothy,
I think you are confusing operational costs with software costs.
Having worked for several ISV's, we were often looking at ways to make running
our products less expensive. We charged just as much for them as before and it
did not stop the 'normal' price increases. Note: I twiddle th
The notion that JCL is somehow hateful is widespread and not new.
In the 1970s a colleague kept telling me that [UNIVAC] Exec 8 was much
superior to JCL. He showed me what it required to compile and
execute a FORTRAN program, which he thought compared very unfavorably
with the JCL required to do
Thank you for mentioning the issue with CS/CDS. I have always understood
that if you use PLO anywhere to serialize access to an area, you must use
it everywhere to serialize access to that area. It's nice to know that the
transactional facility serializes it against CS as well. I wish I had acce

One of the shortcomings of PLO (unlike TBEGIN(C) ) is that PLO in general
serializes only against other uses of PLO. It does not serialize against
CS on the same storage, for example.
However, cache considerations and doubleword consistency still come into
play.

well...actually you can do that, quite easily:
