My wife's BIO had a better intellectual quotient than mine today, however,
she dragged me to the shops today at 8:30 to beat the lockdown rush. They
don't open until 13:00 because it's ANZAC day here. I knew I should have
stayed in bed.

In the same conversation was the adage that GDGs are great and that's what

Technical support suggests that you try changing your date of birth, to
see whether that fixes the problem.

So much misleading media articles. I often get asked "what's wrong with the

the 3270 emulator. We sysprogs have 3 different emulators hidden away from

Probably the program is a CICS program and it has been compiled with the
inline CICS precompile.
Usually (it depends on the options), precompiler adds the USING DFHCOMMAREA
automaGically.
That means, DFHCOMMAREA will have a real good address while SAS-C-BLOCK
won't.
Hope this helps.

IIRC from the course, it was for performance reasons. RSL provides better
