Cross-post from mvsoe - FOTS1842 problem renaming PRNG seedfile

2015-04-14 Thread Dazzo, Matt
We get this error intermittently on zos1.13. From my reading of the IBM Ported tools book and some help from Dovetailed a possible solution is to add environment variable _ZOS_SSH_PRNG_CMDS_TIMEOUT and increase the time out value. For testing purposes I added _ZOS_SSH_PRNG_CMDS_TIMEOUT=2000 to

You might want to consider upgrading ICSF to HCR77A1 or higher. If you do you'll be able to use the hardware based random number generator even if your processor doesn't have CryptoExpress cards installed. Mark Jacobs Dazzo, Matt mailto:00a854d4f854-dmarc-requ...@listserv.ua.edu April

ICSF is a software component of zOS. The latest release, HCR1B00, can be ordered from ShopZSeries and installed on your zOS 1.13 environment. Mark Jacobs Dazzo, Matt mailto:00a854d4f854-dmarc-requ...@listserv.ua.edu April 14, 2015 at 9:13 AM Our box does not have an ICSF, so not an option

http://www.tutorialspoint.com/codingground.htm This appears to be based in India, if that makes any difference to anyone. But it is interesting in that it has a number of web base IDEs for various languages, including a GNU OpenCOBOL (for UNIX, not z/OS). Others include ADA, Algol-68, C, C++

Anybody have pdf of murach's os/390 and z/os jcl ?, if so please share to me. I been searching free copy this book for long time but so far no luck. If you have a PDF please share . Buy the book. Murach has to pay their bills, too. If that's too expensive, there are *dozens* of good JCL

ICSF will run just fine without any crypto card, just need to activate the CPAC instructions (no-charge MES) built into the CP's. Limited functionality of course, but it runs without a problem. Peter -Original Message- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List

COBOL's NUMPROC compiler option

Mr. Ross, Is there going to be a corresponding PACKCHECK compiler option? It is very difficult to locate all of the assembler code that took liberty in fixing positive pack decimal fields with a sign of F instead of determining if the result field was signed or not. After all everybody

Absolutely. The best option is NOT to use ssh-rand-helper. You need HCR77A0 or later to get ICSF /dev/random support *without* a crypto-express card. If you look at our IBM Ported Tools OpenSSH - Quick Install Guides - http://dovetail.com/docs/coz/coz_index.html there is information on setup
