Re: Me Want Cookie!

[Bob Bridges]

I once wrote an article (so to speak) explaining cookies to my mom.  My main 
theme was that I don't understand why people are so up in arms about them.  I 
suppose it must be an extension of the general dislike of being tracked.  But 
given that vendors are going to keep track of your information -- as indeed 
they must, after all, my preferences, my Mastercard number, my shipping address 
and so forth -- why wouldn't I prefer they keep it on my own machine rather 
than with thousands of others in a central database that will eventually, 
inevitably be hacked?

Sometimes I browse the IBM-MAIN website with a handheld; more often with a

sizes.  But when I switch from handheld to laptop or vice-versa, LISTSERV 
redraws the page on the new device to match the previous.

I truly wish LISTSERV would keep display preferences in cookies on the 
respective devices rather than in a user profile on the site.

Re: COBOL V4.2 to V6.3

[Seymour J Metz]

The binder is a different program from the linkage editor; z/OS includes both+, 
but only the binder can handle program objects.

The prelinker is no longer supported with COBOL V5 and later.  The COBOL
migration guide explains what to do instead, normally just use the binder
(what used to be called the linkage editor)

Jake,

I wrote a mix of REXX and Sort to do the task (CSV file as output) even
though I've got only subtype 21 at my shop for the sample. I think it's not
so difficult to do the same for 20 subtype.
It's a long writing for such a thread.
If I can use the mail I see I'll be happy to share it with you.

Best regards.

Re: Using the JOBNAME system symbol in a batch job

[Roger W Suhr]

Hi,

There are two system symbols that are available (but not listed in the
SYMBOLS table and not documented in the same place as the  symbol:

  - Contains the current JOB Name
  - Contains the current JOB ID  (e.g. JOB19002)   

This has been in place since z/OS 2.3 (maybe earlier, but that's when I've
been told after I created an RFE about this.)

Hi,

How do I use the JOBNAME system symbol in a batch job and have it resolve to
the JOBNAME?

Currently, every time I try, it resolved to JES2.

We are running z/OS v2.4.

When you supply a quotation, it would be a courtesy if you were to identify the

Even with SYMBOLS=EXECSYS?!  How illogical!

I'm reminded of the joke about a small plane lost in a fog near Seattle.

Sv: Using the JOBNAME system symbol in a batch job

[Lars Höglund]

Could this be the solution?

The three types of symbols that can be used for JES2 in-stream substitution are 
JCL Symbols, JES Symbols and System Symbols:

On a JES2 JOBCLASS definition, the field SYSSYM needs to be ALLOW rather than 
DISALLOW

Thank you so much for the CBT 523 but looks like with SMF 119 subtype 21 I

Is there any need to checked ?
