Was it a single IFTHEN? Also, I suppose that IFTHEN, being relatively new, might’ve had a different implementation. But I don’t know and I doubt this kind of internal is something Sri Hari would feel free to talk about. Sent from my iPad > On 4 Apr 2019, at 00:08, van der Grijn, Bart (B) wrote

The documentation is correct. Anything older than EC12 (or BC12) will drop to a wait state. I've tried it on a z196 and almost instantly get a wait. --- Jim Stefanik Dallas Vintage Computing Center From: Christian Svensson <022ad63487ef-dmarc-requ...@listse

z114 and z/OS 2.3

2019-04-03 Thread Christian Svensson
Hi, I know that z114 is not officially supported on z/OS 2.3 - but I was wondering if anyone has had any success IPLing it just for experimental purposes on this platform? I see that the wait state documentation for z/OS 2.3 wait state 07B says that "Miscellaneous-instruction-extension facility"

AMODE 32

2019-04-03 Thread Paul Edwards
I was thinking that z/Arch and z/OS could be updated to support AMODE 32. If a load module is marked AMODE ANY, RMODE ANY it could signify that it is 32-bit clean. That combination is currently not really used, and the linker can be updated to accept this combination. PSW bit 30 can be used to si

Thanks all for the comments and advice. My issue is resolved, but I don't yet understand why. A big thanks to Kolusu. I took him up on his offer and sent him the relevant data offline. He produced a solution that looks as follows (apologies if the formatting gets messed up): My original contr

The SHAREMEMOBJ is cleaned up at address space termination (or if explicitly detached with AFFINITY=LOCAL). GETSHARED requests are never automatically cleaned up and must be explicitly detached with AFFINITY=SYSTEM. The memory is finally freed when all local and system requests have detached (ex

Hi Lennie. A" standard practice" among developers whose products use EXCP (eg DFSORT) is to switch to BSAM in the case of Extended Format. That might tell you which way the wind is blowing. Martin Packer zChampion, Systems Investigator & Performance Troubleshooter, IBM +44-7802-245-584 email
