Re: JCL & UNIX coding.

[Andreas Steinberg]

Hello all,
to resolve the case Problem I use linemac available at CBT 961. Thanks to Yves, 
there is a command called JU (JCL upper), so only JCL is modified, comments 
remain as they are. Here is the orignal help of it:

! === Other Commands == 
! JU ==>> JCL Upper Case
! Block: JUU - JUU  
! Multi: JU#
! Work "like" UC but it will not Uppercase  
! - jcl comment lines   
! - sysin (not JCL) 
! - all quoted data, like PATH=, PARM=...   
!

Thanks Peter 

ALIAS are all CSECTS I did get it working

As all of the responders have made clear, CSECT and ENTRY in the assembler
source are not directly relevant.
Only NAME and ALIAS (typically via binder control statements) are relevant.
CSECT and ENTRY are data that the binder uses to know to which location the
ALIAS is to apply. If the ALIAS name is found as a CSECT / ENTRY, then the
binder uses that location. If the ALIAS name is not a CSECT / ENTRY, it
defaults to using the module entry (as defined or defaulted by the binder).
There are limits to the number of aliases the binder will let you create. 

Then IDENTIFY can add to the mix. There are no practical limits to the
number of IDENTIFY's you can go (obviously at some point you run out of
storage to hold CDEs).

The approach to IDENTIFY a GETMAINed area is not a programming interface. 
Use at your own risk.

Re: DB2 / DFSort question

[Don Leahy]

IBM supplies (or did at one time) a sample COBOL program that supports a
varying list SELECT statement via dynamic SQL.   I adapted this program so
that it could be invoked as an E15 exit.   It accepts an SQL statement via
a dd statement called SQLIN, then executes the query, fetching the results
and passing the rows back to SORT.

Having said that, I was unable to come up with a plausible use case for it,
so it sits on the shelf along with other interesting but impractical
experiments.

Re: DB2 / DFSort question

[Sri h Kolusu]

> Why offline? What's so secret about it?

There is nothing secret about it. Just did not want to clutter this forum
and I wasn't even sure if OP was willing to share his DB2 DDL's.

DFSORT Smart tricks page already has "Create DFSORT Symbols from COBOL
Copybook"  trick which can be used to create DFSORT symbols from the Output
of DCLGEN.

https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/smart-dfsort-tricks

The other approach to do it in the SQL itself for which I wanted to test on
OP's DDL first before giving it to him and hence the offline request.

Thanks,

Re: zOSMF

[Steve Beaver]

I found IZUMKFS and IZUSEC and IZUNUSEC but I have no other references in
Configuring z/OSMF for the first time - in IBM Knowledge Center.

I have found some REXX's in SAMPLIB (IZUDXEXP, IZUMKDIR, IZUMNTFS, IZUPRSEC,
and IZUNADG)

But no description of how and when to use  them

I am having more FUN (NOT) than anyone deserves to have with zOSMF.  This is
my first time dealing with it and it is maddening.  I'm doing a first time

Re: zOSMF

[Jousma, David]

If I recall your prior questions, is it possible may have mounted the zOSMF 
data container at /usr/lpp/zosmf (and hence why you created directories)?.   
The zOSMF code as delivered by smpe should live in /usr/lpp/zosmf.   The data 
container initially was suggested to be /var/zosmf, but now I believe the 
recommendation is /global/zosmf?

If your intention is to create DFSORT symbols from DB2 table definition
then there are a couple of ways to get it done. Let me know if you are
interested in that and we can discuss that offline.


Why offline? What's so secret about it?

1) Use the standard Db2 tools to generate a PL/I %INCLUDE member for your table
2) Download RAP00110 and ESYMSORT from the URL in the signature below
3) Put them into an EXEC library concatenated to SYSEXEC (or use ALTLIB)
4) VIEW the generated PL/I %INCLUDE member, give the command "ESYMSORT ?" and 
follow the instructions displayed.


5) Optional, but very much appreciated: Give me some feedback.

Re: DB2 / DFSort question

[Sri h Kolusu]

Tim,

DFSORT or ICETOOL does NOT have the capability of running DB2 queries.
However DB2 utilities(LOAD, REORG, UNLOAD..)  invoke DFSORT in the
background.  IBM already have 2 free unload utilities that does the job for
you. DSNTIAUL and DSNTEP2 are free unload utilities. DSNTIAUL unload
utility invokes DFSORT in the background if there is a SORT involved(Order
By).

Also there is a  DB2 High Performance Unload (INZUTILB) which is an add-on
product which gives you much more flexibility when you are unloading.

>>> It would be nice if this could execute before SYMNAMES is read, so

If your intention is to create DFSORT symbols from DB2 table definition
then there are a couple of ways to get it done. Let me know if you are
interested in that and we can discuss that offline.

I can find no evidence that Microsoft ever obtained a UNIX(TM)
certification for any Windows operating system or even obtained a license
for UNIX source code from AT or another authorized party specifically to
ship any subsystem or product on/for Windows.(*) However, Microsoft
evidently would not have been upset if you thought otherwise. :-)

Here's the thumbnail history as I understand it. Back in 1996 a company
called Softway Systems (later renamed Interix) shipped a product called
OpenNT for Microsoft's Windows NT operating system. OpenNT apparently was
written "cleanroom," meaning that it didn't license or use UNIX source
code from AT or another authorized party. OpenNT was a POSIX subsystem,
and at some point -- possibly starting pre-Microsoft -- it was POSIX
certified.

Meanwhile, Microsoft separately developed the "Microsoft POSIX subsystem"
and included it in early releases of Windows NT. Microsoft did this to get
FIPS 151-2 certification so that the U.S. federal government could
consider Windows NT for more of its acquisitions.

Later, Microsoft acquired Interix, updated the technology, positioned it
as a replacement for their own POSIX subsystem, and renamed the technology
in this sequence: "Microsoft Windows Services for UNIX" (sometimes "Unix"
in references) then "Windows Subsystem for UNIX-based Applications."
However, these products/subsystems were never certified as UNIX(TM)
either. The preposition "for" in their names is quite meaningful and doing
a lot of heavy lifting. Initially Microsoft's versions were separately
chargeable, and then at the very end they were no additional charge
downloads.

In a completely separate effort, David Korn created UWIN, which is an
X/Open library and set of utilities for Win32. UWIN isn't UNIX(TM) either.
Ironically, AT, UNIX's inventor, now distributes UWIN's source code --
but that doesn't make it UNIX(TM) either:

https://github.com/att/uwin

OK, so that was/is Microsoft Windows. In fact Microsoft has distributed a
bona fide UNIX operating system in the past: XENIX (also sometimes written
Xenix). XENIX was definitely a genuine UNIX(TM) operating system.
Microsoft licensed AT's UNIX source code (Version 7 then later System
V), and XENIX also includes bits of BSD. The Santa Cruz Operation (SCO)
eventually acquired exclusive rights to XENIX, and that branch of the
very, very complicated UNIX family tree essentially died out, losing out
to SCO UNIX. But during much of the 1980s Microsoft XENIX from its various
OEMs (including IBM) was the most popular UNIX(TM) distribution.

1. Thank you for mentioning XENIX. I almost wrote and explanation about 
it, but finally read to the bottom. ;-)

Of course that fact MS had XENIX may influence other MS products.


2. You mentioned several times about source code. IMHO it is irrelevant 
for UNIX certification. My understanding is "black box": anything which 
behaves as UNIX is UNIX. It can be written from scratch.

Obviously, an access to source code seem to be much easier.

Just me, but I only think of something as a UNIX service if it requires
that the TCB (?) running the program be "dubbed" as a UNIX process (dubbing
creates process information to be created in the BPXOINIT(?) address space
-- UNIX UID, current working directory, etc). The easiest way that I know
of to see if a job/TCB/whatever is "dubbed" is to see if it shows up on the
PS screen in SDSF. Using BPXWDYN in a regular batch program does not cause
the job to be "dubbed". I will lay odds that it starts with BPX because the
author is one of the main z/UNIX developers.

Re: Any shop use UNIX in a production job?

BPXWDYN is a Unix Service as far as I am concerned as it's part of z/OS Unix 
System Services.  Check out which manual it's documented in.  I suspect it's 
under the Unix FMID as well but I haven't checked that part.

I consider anything that begins BPX to be z/OS Unix System Services but I'm 
willing to be corrected on that one.  I certainly haven't used them all.

What do you mean to restrict by "only  has access to Unix services"?
That Rexx can perform allocations with BPXWDYN.  It can invoke load modules 
with ADDRESS LINKMVS.  It can use ADDRESS TSO
(surrogate) and thereby ISPF services.

Is there anything it could have done under IRXJCL, but not under UNIX?
(Or are you just asserting the not "mutually exclusive"?)

The exception I see is initiator ENQ serialization and deadlock prevention.

There are lots of great answers in this thread, and I'll fill out a couple 
more. Nowadays you can get the Load Module Analyzer via "IBM Debug for Z" 
or via "IBM Developer for Z Enterprise Edition." Depending on what you're 
doing you may also find the COBOL and CICS Command Level Conversion Aid to 
be useful. It's available via the same two product offerings and also via 
"IBM Developer for Z."

And/or "IBM Application Discovery" may be useful, and there are at least a 
couple vehicles to get that.

"UNIX-like" even though it's neither POSIX® nor UNIX®.
