Re: 2.5 Heads Up

Location 4 means address 4 (i.e. offset 4 in the PSA). There was a latent bug from a prior release in the loop control code so that it was erroneously fetching from address 4, and behaving especially badly when the data at that location is x'', which it is as of z/OS 2.5. In prior

Maybe they were using the contents of location 4 instead of a 4? e.g. LA R5,4 vs LA R5,4(,R5) I think location 4 used to be part of the Restart new PSW under old-style 31-bit operation. Maybe it is no longer used. Lennie Dymoke-Bradshaw https://rsclweb.com ‘Dance like no one is watching.

Hi Fred, For uncataloged data sets I would have expected HSEND DELETE dsn would work to clean up the CDS entries, MCD/MCA & TTOC. You say it didn't seem to work, why? Any errors? Also the steps you listed should also delete the MCD/MCA records and the data set if it still existed on an ML1

Yes, SLIP relies on MVS control blocks to locate modules. If there is no CDE or LPDE then SLIP has not way of locating the module by name. If you're licensed, you might ask the CICS support people at IBM how to trace in modules loaded by CICS. -- Shmuel (Seymour J.) Metz

Re: Why SLIP PVTMOD/PVT EP does not work for Private load modules in CICS

Yes, that's correct. The modules are loaded by CICS. I read somewhere that SLIP scans CDE(Content Directory Entry ) table for module information. Is it possible, CICS Load does not add entry to CDE ? This is just my speculation

Re: Why SLIP PVTMOD/PVT EP does not work for Private load modules in CICS

Re: creating a python login module

You can do all of that in C code using the __passwd() and __check_resource_auth_np library functions. You will need to be program controlled which means Python and it's runtime will also need to be platform controlled. Most modern services do this using an API like the Zowe authenication API.
