Hi Tony,
I grew up in Gainesville and I am not "quite" retired. Running the numbers, as
they say. 31 years on z and its predecessors, varied roles, mostly as a
sysprog. What's the gig?
Thanks,
Linda

Phil,
Thanks for the article. I have a long time friend who was thinking of
interviewing there, I had heard "rumors" and suggested before she
accept the job she should better interview the people she would be
working for. She did and came to agree with my rumors. She did not
take the job,
Just Principles of Operations I think... :)

Not sure why that is.
Perhaps you can post your JCL and error messages.

When asking for assistance with these kinds of issues, it is really helpful if
you show us the whole job (job log, JCL, control cards, and output) plus all
related messages from the system log.

If you are a retired z/OS systems programmer and are somewhere in
central Florida (within 1 hour of Winter Haven) and are interested in
some part-time (or even full-time) work, or maybe seasonal work, contact
me *off-list*.
No formal resume requested.

Found this -

There might be other msgs in the log, but I would say that your tape is
physically (virtually?) toast.
Use the LIST command to determine what was supposed to be on there and see if
another coy exists.

So sadly if I do an Audit mediacontrols I get this -

It looks like ARC1112I RC12 indicates
12 Decompaction failure.
Did you check to see if the this might be the case?
Are there any additional message in SYSLOG at the time of this failure?

You can use the jzos record generator which is part of the java sdk for z/os.
It generates java records out of dsects. With java code it takes ebcdic byte
arrays as input and allows to use getter methods to convert the assembler data
types into strings, which is basically what json is.

Actually, it's much worse than that. You can't encrypt all of the PAN for a
credit card. Typically, the first part (the BIN) is required in cleartext in
order to rout

experience with assembler to C and assembler to a proprietary record schema
language.
The problem with any of these is that assembler is not strongly typed while
JSON, C and the record schema are. An assembler programmer can defi

I was filling out the IBM service request form and at the bottom it said

"phrase your issue in the form of a question..." What is an APAR? It just
