It's very sad that the IBM response to selling a smaller machine to sites based on their needs is that they should get a bigger box or buy a zIIP. I don't think that's really an acceptable response from IBM. Sadly, there really isn't going to be any other option(s) provided. For my clients

Re: VTAM USSTAB

Depending on what you want from it and how big it is, you may want to write a (c) program to load the module, and chain down the entries. The structure looks pretty simple. See SYS1.SISTMAC1(USSTAB). The macros have good comments about the structure of the data. Colin On Tue, 17 May 2022 at

Re: VTAM USSTAB

Rather than parsing the load module, I would advise doing a LOAD and using, e.g, the ISTBIND mapping, to decode the storage. From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List on behalf of PINION, RICHARD W. Sent: Tuesday, May 17, 2022 12:25 PM To:

If you license the HLASM Toolkit, you should have the DISASM utility to disassemble CSECT's. A little tricky to set up and get working right, but it can be done. HTH Peter -Original Message- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List On Behalf Of PINION, RICHARD W. Sent: Tuesday, May 17,

SMF 64 parsing with SORT.

Hi everybody, some people asked me to share the SORT I use to evaluate the "need or use" of ACCBIAS. It's not so sophisticated and it could be better, anyway here it is. The output can be simply imported in Excel. Best regards. Max //youjobc JOB 000,J48017,CLASS=A,MSGCLASS=5, //

Hi Gadi, I'm going to give you some information. I'm not sure any of it will necessarily help you, but at least you might be able to know what some options are. You might already know this, and I apologize if I'm repeating information you already know. There will not be any silver bullet, or

Awesome. Thanks Kurt. The spreadsheet we currently use to track software, has additional columns that management likes to see, such as the "latest and greatest" version that has been GA'd. We can probably just keep that in a separate spreadsheet. The important thing to me is the EOS

Re: Logon proc usage

One more idea if you have PDSMAN is to enable the PDS Member usage function and that will cut user defined smf records to give you exact report who using it for what purposeotherwise ofcourse like others pointed out writing syslog or smf30 stepname may help.
