Re: testing

[Edward Finnell]

One more and I'll leave it to the historians. My dad E.J.,Jr., uncle Wag,  
granddad E.J. Sr. and great uncle Woolsey all made it thru unscathed. They 
all  eventually made Col. My uncle Wag was in the 2nd Armor and is one of the 
most  highly decorated Veterans in the State. My grandmother Ruby was 
organist and  pianist at local church and they would go around lady's class and 
she  seemed  delighted to say  "son Wagner 'Hell on Wheels' ".  Granddad E.J. 
Sr. was in both WWI and WWII and struggled thru the  depression

Dear Ruby,

 I am in France again after 25 years and it looks pretty much the same. 
Have had considerable rain but it is not as cold as England and seems to be
a little dryer atmosphere anyway my sinus is not bothering me as it did in 
England.
Think I will feel better over here. We are due to get some regular rations today
and start cooking again.

 I Went over to see E.J.(son) yesterday he is only about 12 or 15 miles 
from me 
at present, he is looking fine and getting along alright. While I was over to 
see
E.J., Woolsey(brother) came to see me. I missed him but will see him again as we
are not far apart right now. Have not seen Wagner(son) yet but know where his 
outfit
is and hope to see him before long.

 I am working over a big area and will have my companies well scattered. I 
do not
have the experienced officers I should have but hope they will learn. Will be 
glad
when our mail gets straightened out and coming through again.
 
 Have been plenty busy over here and will be from now on I guess. We are 
getting
along fine, so you all take care of yourselves and don’t worry about us over 
here.
I am somewhat out of touch with what is going on except right in this theatre, 
but
it looks like we should get this part of the war over before too long.

With all my love,
Your loving husband

Edward

Wow, good stories!  Flying jeep :)  Hope he came back ok.  My dad was 
just a bit too young for WW2, so he was in the occupying forces in 
Osaka.  Although I heard a few stories about crowd problems which could 
have escalated, luckily his biggest concerns were probably things like 
where to get the best Tempura.

Dear STANLEY and MEMBERS OF TUSCALOOSA ROTARY CLUB

About three weeks ago I received a letter on which each one of you had 
written a note of encouragement, a bit of news about friends, or a prayer for 
victory and safe return to Tuscaloosa. This letter was read and appreciated by 
me more than I am able to tell you. It brought back memories of the city of 
Tuscaloosa and of the people there. I now have in my possession a sheet of 
paper which has written on it the signatures of the members of the Tuscaloosa 
Rotary Club,--a paper which I shall keep and reread from time to time.

As far as my work over here, about all I can say is that I am in the 
Corps of Engineers. We are called on to do all kinds of work and some bit of 
fighting as Infantry.

Perhaps you might be interested in a personal experience or two. Bear 
in mind that we cannot mention any action of any type until after two weeks 
have passed, and then no locations or specific dates.

One afternoon we had pulled into bivouac near a beautiful old French 
Chateau. Up to this time we had seen very little of the German Air Force. We 
heard the drone of engines overhead. Someone asked what kind of planes over us, 
and received the assurance that they were P-47’s or 51’s. No sooner had he been 
answered than the first plane turned a quarter and went into a dive to strafe 
the area, and the first bomb hit the ground. For about five minutes, which 
seemed more like five hours, they crisscrossed the roads close to us and our 
area with machine guns and small bombs. Score—nothing to nothing. We missed 
them and they didn’t shoot so well either. Since then the score is more in our 
favor.

Another rather foolish incident might be related.  Several times French 
citizens have stopped out vehicles to warn us of the fact that German elements 
control roads you are trying to use.  One night there was a fair amount of 
traffic on a road and the vehicle, a jeep, was stopped by a Frenchman. We were 
told that there were some Germans just ahead.(we were travelling to the rear). 
While we were stopped an armored vehicle of some kind passed. We decided it 
would be better to get them to capture whoever was in front of us since we had 
no protection on the jeep. Turning around we caught up with the car and driving 
alongside tried to stop them.  Much to our surprise it was a German vehicle. 
Don’t know who was scared the most be we didn’t stay around to find out. A jeep 
won’t fly very high, but it will fly.

Hope I haven’t bored you too much with a lot of words in which you are 
not interested. Wish all of you the best of luck in everything.
Sincerely,

Edward J. Finnell Jr.

Re: SVC display

[Lizette Koehler]

From the manual:  z/OS z/OS 2.1.0 z/OS MVS z/OS MVS Diagnosis: 
Reference System Reference SVC summary  SVC routines Naming 
conventions for SVC routinee

Naming conventions for SVC routines
SVC routines are load modules which are named as follows:

The routines for SVC types 1, 2 and 6 are named IGCxxx, where xxx is the 
SVC number (decimal).
The routines for SVC types 3 and 4 are named IGC00xxx, where xxx is the SVC 
number.

If a type 4 SVC routine calls for multiple SVC loads, the naming convention 
is to identify each load by increasing 00 by one. For example, IGC03xxx 
indicates the third module loaded within a type 4 SVC routine.

For types 3 and 4 SVC routines, the internal format of the SVC number (xxx) 
is zoned decimal with a four-bit sign code (1100) in the four high-order bits 
of the low order byte. Any low-order digit in a type 3 or 4 SVC number that is 
between 1 and 9 will be an EBCDIC character between A and I in the load module 
name. For example, the load module name for SVC 51 (X'33') would be IGC0005A 
because the low order byte is 1100 0001, or A in zoned decimal. A low-order 
zero in the SVC number corresponds to a hexadecimal C0 in the load module name.

ESR type 3 routines have names in the format IGX00nnn, where nnn is the 
decimal code placed in register 15 when SVC 109 is issued

From this you can see what the convention is for naming an SVC.  Depending on 
what SVC you are looking for (TYPE1/2/3/4/6 or a Router), you would look for 
the name.  If you have a tool like MXI, SHOWMVS, Omeagmon, Sysview, SAS, etc... 
You can scan the system either live or after the fact.

If you try ISRDDN and use the LPA command then search for the module name you 
can see if it is in a library.

you might try searching the internet and see if anyone created REXX code to go 
through control blocks to display SVCs.

Setting up existing EMC DLM/DD in DR

[Lizette Koehler]

I am trying to establish the DLm/DD that is currently running in our Sandbox in 
our DR Plex in the same CEC.

The Data is replicated from our production environment.  This uses a different 
DLm/DD setup which has a unique name, call it BOB, in production.

In our Sandbox the DLm/DD is called Fred.

So when we replicate our DASD and TAPE the BOB name is in the SMS 
configuration.  But BOB does not exist in our CEC in the Sandbox where our DR 
system can be brought up. 

What is the easiest way to get BOB available in DR and allow us to use the 
replicated tapes in DR.


From what I can see the SMS information all has BOB in it.  ISMF Option 10 
shows BOB.  The ACS Codes for DR have BOB.  But the only DLm/DD I have 
available is FRED.

Can I code FRED in the Production environment even though it will never be used 
and adjust my ACS routines as needed?
Is there a way to make BOB available in DR?  Or do I need to Use FRED and 
adjust the DR SMS environment to use FRED for my DR production environment?

My guess is I have to manually update my DR Production to use FRED.  But that 
is a grues..

Any thoughts or guidance will be appreciated.

X'1C' would be packed decimal.  X'C1' is zoned decimal.  The last byte

Re: SVC display

[Lindy Mayfield]

Hi Jake,

Almost all systems have the level 2 diagnostic utility ISRFIND.  So you can run 
that (TSO ISRFIND from ISPF), put in the load module name, if it's a type 4 ESR 
the name will be IGX00nnn where nnn is the SVC number.  So if it is SVC 201 
then you'll put IGX00201 in the Member name field, then for Loadmod field put Y.

When you hit enter you can scroll down and on the right half of the screen when 
you see the member name you'll know what library it is loaded in.

If it's a standard user SVC, then the loadmod name is IGC0020A.  (The last 
letter is in packed decimal x'c1' in this case.)

HTH,
Lindy
