Re: OMVS file type Char

2018-09-18 Thread Anthony Thompson
From the USS User Guide, Ch. 14 (SA23-2279-30).

A character special file defines one of the following:
– A terminal (/dev/ptyp and /dev/ttyp).
– The default controlling terminal for a process (/dev/tty).
– A null file (/dev/null). Data written to this file is discarded; hence, it is 
known as the bit bucket. This file is always empty for reading.
– A zero file (/dev/zero). Data written to this file is discarded and binary 
zeros are supplied for any amount read from it.
– The random number files (/dev/random and /dev/urandom). These files provide 
random numbers for cryptographic purposes.
– A file descriptor file (/dev/fdn or /dev/fd/n).
– A system console file (/dev/console). Data that is written to this file is 
sent to the console using a write-to-operator (WTO) that displays the data on 
the system console.
– A UNIX domain socket name file. This is a path name that specifies the socket 
address for a UNIX domain socket. The path name is assigned by the application 
programmer; there is no convention for the name. The operating system creates 
the file. 
– A Communications Server remote tty file (for example, rty) that 
corresponds to the requesting terminal on the originating Communications Server 
node. The name is assigned by the Communications Server
administrator.
– The Communications Server character special file (/dev/ocsadmin) that 
supports ioctl functions for Communications Server administrative functions.
Character special files are dynamically created by the operating system when 
they are first referenced. However, they can also be explicitly created by a 
superuser (for instance, in order to assign different permissions).

Hi

I have got a dummy query

I was going through /var/dpi_socket and see it's a Character special type of 
file


I am going through the USS guide but I found any hit about this type of file. 
Also I can't select or copy this files .

Can someone please explain what are Character special type file ?

"Readily" and "relatively easy" will probably not apply here, so the answers 
are not likely and nope.

You could dummy up a function/functions and receive the PTFs against it/them, 
but that won't buy you much other than metadata.  Even in IBM, things are 
packaged differently, but I would expect the sysmods would be compacted.  To 
expand them, you would use GIMCPTS, and then you could figure out how to use 
the necessary utilities to install them--and pay attention to the order, of 
course.  Depending on the number of sysmods, that could really be a hag.

Which product?  I'm very curious.  More appealing alternatives might be to 
contact your ever-changing IBM rep, if you can figure out who it is, or a VAR.  
Or, someone on this list:  if they have it, and it's current, then you might be

It think that's the key point.  Standard time is great for communication
and coordination, but it shouldn't control our lives.  I hope the people
in western China aren't forced to get up in the middle of the night for
work, and try to get to sleep an hour before sunset just because Beijing
dictated a single time zone.

If one was living where the clock corresponded fairly closely to the
sun, it seems that logically you'd generally want to go to bed at 20:00
and get up at 04:00. I suppose some do, but it's difficult the way our
society is structured.  As far as working hours go, I'd like to see a
lot more flexibility and variety. Having everyone working the same 8-5
causes immense waste of time and resources just due to traffic.

Regardless, nobody reacts well to a sudden shift of an hour.  I presume
dairy farmers who don't like getting kicked in the head do not impose

IMO, you are much better off putting your source in zFS and using z/OS make
(or even better gmake), makedepend.   For a C/C++ project of any size,
incremental builds will save you lots of time.
The z/OS Unix c89 command can be used as a front end to the z/OS binder and
you and target z/OS PDS/PDSE libraries directly, or just "cp -X" the
program objects from zFS to PDS/Es.
Bonus: this will feel more like your day job on Unix/Windows.

Not exactly. Prime time shows are *not* delayed for Central time. It's
just that 8pm Eastern and 7PM Central are exactly the same time.

Traffic accidents were a major public issue in the movement to implement 
Daylight Saving Time in the winter of 1973 against the backdrop of the oil 
embargo crisis. It was tried and then abandoned amid widespread outcry. The 
fear of kids waiting for school rides in the pitch dark could not be overcome. 
For some historical perspective, Google this string:

Not exactly. Prime time shows are *not* delayed for Central time. It's just 
that 8pm Eastern and 7PM Central are exactly the same time.

Pacific shows are 'normally' delayed 2 hours. An 8PM Eastern show will show at 
8PM Pacific. Back when Mountain time did not observe daylight savings time, the 
broadcasts were delayed 2 hours in Mountain time since half the year they were 
on Pacific time. I don't know what they do now.

Not really. It would actually make the bus problem worse. It's really the 'I 
want some time to go fishing or boating after work' problem.

Right. For me, I go to work at 06:00 and leave at 16:00 (or a little
earlier). Basically, I always go to work in the dark. But there is much
less traffic at 06:00. But the sun is relevant to me only when it is
shining in my eyes. I firmly believe that if I was supposed to be in the
Texas sun, we wouldn't have made air conditioned houses. As a plus, the
company I work for has "summer hours" where you can come in or stay late
Monday- Thursday and leave at noon on Friday. This is subject to your
immediate manager's approval and the work needs of the company. E.g. I
can't leave at noon if there is a computer problem going on. As an aside, I
only watch streaming TV, so the broadcast times are meaningless to me.

Not exactly. Prime time shows are *not* delayed for Central time. It's 
just that 8pm Eastern and 7PM Central are exactly the same time.


Pacific shows are 'normally' delayed 2 hours. An 8PM Eastern show will 
show at 8PM Pacific. Back when Mountain time did not observe daylight 
savings time, the broadcasts were delayed 2 hours in Mountain time since 
half the year they were on Pacific time. I don't know what they do now.

Not really. It would actually make the bus problem worse. It's really 
the 'I want some time to go fishing or boating after work' problem.

(Don't know about Arizona.)  They display local time in a chyron.

You are 100% done with the system(s)?  Overwriting data/secure erase of disk

Re: In this case, I wish the US would follow the EU (no more DST)

2018-09-18 Thread Steve Smith
It think that's the key point.  Standard time is great for communication 
and coordination, but it shouldn't control our lives.  I hope the people 
in western China aren't forced to get up in the middle of the night for 
work, and try to get to sleep an hour before sunset just because Beijing 
dictated a single time zone.


If one was living where the clock corresponded fairly closely to the 
sun, it seems that logically you'd generally want to go to bed at 20:00 
and get up at 04:00. I suppose some do, but it's difficult the way our 
society is structured.  As far as working hours go, I'd like to see a 
lot more flexibility and variety. Having everyone working the same 8-5 
causes immense waste of time and resources just due to traffic.


Regardless, nobody reacts well to a sudden shift of an hour.  I presume 
dairy farmers who don't like getting kicked in the head do not impose 
these on their cows.

In 1883, when the U.S. adopted Standard Time, a timezone was about a day's
travel.  A passenger or operator might to reset a watch no more tnan once
during a shift.

Technology has shrunk the world.  Nowadays, by similar reasoning, a single 
timezone
would be reasonable.  GMT.  Or perhaps two, one for the Eastern Hemisphere, one 
for
the Western.

OTOH, nowadays almost everyone's personal timekeeping device resets 
automatically
for both geographic and seasonal boundaries.  No need even to press a button.
Why is this a matter of such intense contention?

Late one morning circa 1972 from Boulder, CO, I attempted to phone a customer
in Benton Harbor, MI.

"He's out to lunch.  When can he call you back?"

"I'm about to leave for lunch.  Two hours from now?"

[I didn't know whether MI had one timezone or two, and wasn't
sure they knew that CO was not observing DST, so I had shortcut
the computation.]

[Long pause while I envisioned mental arithmetic operating, but
failing.]

"What timezone are you in?"

(Irrelevant.  Would the result of the computation have been any different
if I had been in Pyongyang?)

France was an hour later than Germany until 1940. Didn't go back in
after 1945.  But France / Spain going to winter time and the rest to
summer time makes sense.  Belgium, Netherlands, Luxembourg should
decide based on where they have the most border traffic.

If the datasets are all gone, delete the aliases, then delete the

Re: In this case, I wish the US would follow the EU (no more DST)

2018-09-18 Thread Steve Smith
At first I thought it was amazing that the EU parliament would give up
control of anything, no matter how tiny.  Then I realized they did not.
According the the article, "Summer Time" is banned, and the only choice is
what a country's permanent time zone should be.  We'll see if Spain gets
rational and at least moves to UTC (presently, Spain's clocks are up to 2.5
hours ahead of local solar time).

One thing blew my mind: "The plan also raises the prospect of neighboring
countries ending up an hour apart".  Really?  Did someone seriously say
that out loud?

Re: ASCRE and ACEE inheritance

2018-09-18 Thread Robin Atwood
Peter, thanks for the response. My concern is that in the exit I issue a
RACROUTE VERIFY for a user's id and stash the resulting ACEE in ASXBSENV.
When the allocations do eventually get done the temporary data sets (at
least) seem to be governed by the original STC's ACEE and the dynamically
allocated data sets by the new ACEE. Why does this happen and is it possible
to avoid it?

Thanks
Robin

Why do you care under which task the routine runs? You should probably not 
be doing anything that cares. FWIW, it does not run under the RCT task. 
And it does not run under the dump task either. It certainly runs under a 
task that is older than the jobstep program task (which has not yet been 
identified since the proc has not yet been read). Why does more need to be

No they have not. "Before" is "before".

Re: Help With PENDING OFFLINE Devices

The volumes are empty except for catalogs, and he varied them offline.
So he needs to delete empty catalogs, move catalogs with data to new
volumes or move the volumes to a new UCB.

George,
Maybe you should tell us what you are trying achieve?
