Re: Vendor Licensing Frustrations

Charles Mills argues in defense of software product keys for mainframe software. OK, let's pursue these arguments a bit. To start off, assuming IBM provides what the z/OS 2.3 preview announcement describes, isn't it reasonable for even the most "stodgy" vendor to concede that the scope for

Re: DFHEXLI vs DFHECI

I can verify that it really is an online program. It is in CICS and the programmer just recompiled it with a small change to verify it was really the right compile. The change showed up and I looked at the linkmap (which I included with the last email). Tony Thigpen esst...@juno.com wrote on

Re: SETRP with DUMP=YES

Thank You Peter and Charles for refreshing my memory. If I issue several SETRP macros in a recovery routine, and one of the SETRPs specifies DUMP=YES, I suspect the dump is taken when the Recovery Routine ends and before The Retry Routine receives control. . . Is My Assesment correct ? . Paul

Re: SETRP with DUMP=YES

SETRP, IIRC, always "returns to the next sequential instruction" unless you specify the REGS parameter. One thing that I think you can't do is to set the "DUMP = Yes" option (or any other option for that matter) without also setting the "return code", as all the expansions set that, and the
