Hi Biyamin,

That's what I was trying to avoid as i am short on free regs and my workarea
overflows (I already modified the program tyo use MGCRE)... But, in case of
no alternative, a man should do what a man should do and I'll use the
mortified version.

There are two layers here. You can't say it gets converted to a backslash. More 
correctly it hets translated to a code point that your emulator displays as a 
backslash.

Also recommend you contact both the IBM people who chimed in. Not me -- I'm

However,
to give you a few more lines of investigation from afar

1. What are they
running on those Windows-based servers (and on any other
servers)? What sort of
applications (in terms of runtimes, in particular)
and middleware
products?

2. If there are 7 municipalities, and (by implication) 7+ primary
data
centers, are there are also at least 7 secondary (DR) centers? Or is
DR
inadequate?

3. Are the 7 municipalities providing services 7 different
ways -- they
have 7 different applications for substantial the same service, in
other
words? With 7 different application development and/or support teams? Or
do
they have substantial agreement on applications?

The answers to these
questions (and a few others) would be helpful in

any.

Subject: FTP conversion Extended ASCII to EBCDIC

I have noticed when you are transferring a windows file containing a not
character ( ¬ x'AC') using ASCII transfer to the mainframe, it gets
converted to backslash ( \ x'B7') when stored.

Is there any way to get the extended Windows ASCII characters to transfer
correctly?

I believe I suggested that earlier. but leaving out the PC.

You did indeed. 

Why involve a PC?  z/OS suffices.  z/OS has both FTP client and server.

I suggested to use the PC as intermediate, because this is the situation I 
tried out and know to work.  In this particular case, the intermediate PC has 
the advantage of not knowing the record layout of the file.


You might want to turn off SENDSITE so z/OS doesn't try to alter the
attributes of the target data set.

I hadn't thought of that, but you are right: that should do the trick.

Cheers,

Also recommend you contact both the IBM people who chimed in. Not me -- I'm
in
Singapore and may be groggy when you call at your reasonable time. :-)
However,
to give you a few more lines of investigation from afar

1. What are they
running on those Windows-based servers (and on any other
servers)? What sort of
applications (in terms of runtimes, in particular)
and middleware
products?

2. If there are 7 municipalities, and (by implication) 7+ primary
data
centers, are there are also at least 7 secondary (DR) centers? Or is
DR
inadequate?

3. Are the 7 municipalities providing services 7 different
ways -- they
have 7 different applications for substantial the same service, in
other
words? With 7 different application development and/or support teams? Or
do
they have substantial agreement on applications?

The answers to these
questions (and a few others) would be helpful in
trying to understand better
and best alternatives, if
any.

Re: Strange LE / link list behaviour

2015-03-05 Thread Ken MacKenzie
Thanks to all who replied, I'm still mulling over the information 
provided.

For those that asked, or were curious:
SYSTEM COMPLETION CODE=0C4  REASON CODE=0011

We've changed the order of link list libraries on the test system (as far 
as possible) to reflect development system but the problem still doesn't 
happen there.

Subject:Strange LE / link list behaviour
Sent by:IBM Mainframe Discussion List IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU



Hi all,

We're in the process of upgrading to Enterprise COBOL 5.1 and one of our 
development groups has decided to re-compile all their COBOL modules even 
though it is not deemed necessary - that's their prerogative. 

One of their programs is exhibiting strange behaviour on the development 
LPAR that I have been unable to replicate on our sandbox system.

If they code the LE libraries SCEERUN and SCEERUN2 in their JOBLIB 
statement, their program runs OK.  However, if they allow the LE libraries 

to come from link list (as they should) their program abends with S0C4 - 
the address of the offending instruction is way outside of the module 
reported in the dump - probably a wild branch, I guess.

Has anyone encountered anything similar?  Why should coding LE libraries 
in your JOBLIB (the same with STEPLIB, incidentally) cause a module to 
work when it doesn't work from link list?

Any helpful suggestions welcomed.

You've got the framing  reversed; some e-mail clients may have
trouble with that.

Hopefully this won't split

It did; even though you had format=flowed, it came out as multiple

LPR error code = 60...

2015-03-05 Thread Brian France

I have cross posted this to both IBM-MAIN and IBMTCP-L.

Since we upgraded to z/OS 2.1 we've been receiving ( sporadically and by 
that I mean out of 55 batch jobs a day we'll have 3-4 failures where 
that would be a weeks total for failures prior to the upgrade) the 
following error -


EZB1051E Failed to Open connection to Port Number = 515.  Return Code = -1.   
Error Number = 60.  Port Number = 721.   Remote IP Add
 r =

I for the life of me can not find what Error Number = 60 is. We use the 
following command in a batch job -

 ISPSTART CMD(LPR 'XPAF.SURP002.JOB09366.D15062.T024955.STD' (AT ???.??.??.??? 
PRINTER mainframewhite FILTER  L USER CLS48 NAME SBRP002  BINARY ))

There could be several of these batch route print jobs and only one will get it 
or none will. We submit a rerun and it work just fine.

Someone please point me to the manual that would contain the description of the 
error.

THANX
