Re: Which C library functions imply dub?

A snippet from Robert's presentation To help replace BPX.DEFAULT.USER, z/OS 1.11 introduced the FACILITY class profile BPX.UNIQUE.USER. Defining this newer profile causes RACF to automatically add OMVS segments and assign ids to users and groups that do not already have segments. RACF creates

Re: Which C library functions imply dub?

What version of z/OS is this on? I am thinking that RACF (or your SAF) is using an auto assign of the UID. There was a change when you had to specify the UID in the OMVS Segment, then a change happened and the system went from BPX.UNIQUE.USER To BPX.NEXT.USER See Robert H's very nice

So do OMVS segments get "auto-created?" I run ALU ROMVSNO NOOMVS and then LU ROMVSNO OMVS. I get NO OMVS INFORMATION Then I run a program that ought to require an OMVS segment. It runs to a normal completion. I then do another LU ROMVSNO OMVS and I get OMVS INFORMATION

This is more a Friday type topic. But I'm curious about why the original designers of the S/360 went with "big endian" instead of "small endian"? The _only_ reason that I can think of is because our arithmetic "system" is "big endian". The more I think about it, the more Intel's "little endian"
