Hi Christopher,

program at hand, my shop sends SMF-records to splunk (using Syncsort's
Ironstream). I use splunk to produce reports using these
Hi,
If you can operate in a authorized program, I can give you the assembler code
to find the CONSOLE address space, and via cross memory services you can get
the outstanding replies, (all of them or just the subset you want), and respond
to them if you wish or just read the information from

I know you said you didn't want to use System Rexx, but this quick-n-dirty
will display the request:
CMD = 'D R,MSG=EZY0960I,SYS='
CmdResult = AXRCMD(CMD,'OUTPUTVAR.',10)
DO I = 1 TO OUTPUTVAR.0
SAY OutputVar.I
END;
Doesn't seem like it would take much to parse the reply from the result.

Hi all,
We have open job posting at Fifth Third Bank for a Sr. System Programmer.
Interested individuals should take a peek at the requirements at the link
below.The job position is listed for Grand Rapids, Michigan but candidates
in the Cincinnati, OH area will be considered as well.
CONSOLE is a TSO/E function that requires a RACF TSOE segment plus READ access
to profile CONSOLE in the TSOAUTH class. That authority can be given to the
userid that 'shutdown' runs with, but it's not automatic.

Hi Fred,
This might occur because:
- Your shop has a storage software product (e.g. Mainview SRM) which
adjusts allocations automatically.
- Your shop has ALLOCATION Exits (The ISPF Allocation Exit is the not
the same as the TSO/Batch Allocation Exit).

AFAIK every IBM operating system for the z architecture uses EBCDIC.

I can't speak for Phil, but IMHO it was a dangerous and unnecessary conflation
of a language with its implementation. Proper design would have made a string a
first class data type, made a varying string a first class data type, and left
the encoding up to the compiler.

It was no easier to used existing 6-bit peripherals with EBCDIC than it would
have been with ASCII, and it was no easier to use the 8-bit peripherals either.

It controlled the generation, checking and use of zones in packed decimal data.
Basically it affected only UNPK and decimal arithmetic.

There are a few missing data there.
First, there is the issue of the dualing of a couple of ASCII code points.
Second, while ANSI did define an ASCII-8 standard for punched cards, it didn't
actually assign any code pages in the upper half. IBM had to guess at ANSI's
direction for ASCII-8, and

No, TSO ALLOC only allocates the dataset. correct the parameters and you should
be fine.

If your shutdown program allows you to issue commands and then parse the
response you could issue a
D R,R command and then find the reply number in message EZY0960I.

Tony,
don't know if it's a real light, caus you prefere assembler, maybe CNZQUERY
- Consoles query (Authorized Assembler Service Reference ALE-DYN) could
help.
In the manual there's an example doing exactly what you need.
Best regards.

Because I've seen too many bugs due to them and spend too much time dealing
with them. Real data often contains nulls, and
I was trying to avoid that out to principle.

A nicer brute force might be.

At this point it should be down and as long as no other reply would be
