Re: COBOL question

2023-04-08 Thread Charles Hardee
I have not seen this exactly like what you describe, but I do have some thoughts. The pointer you are using for the ALLOCATE, does it have a value clause, specifically VALUE NULL. If not, the pointer could have an unknown value that does not compare equal to NULL so you would attempt to FREE it.

Hello folks I have written an IMS COBOL program. I have included a couple of ALLOCATE statements. At the end of processing I check my pointers and if they are not NULL I try to FREE. This results in a U4038 abend. At least inside Expediter. I have not used ALLOCATE/FREE before. I am thinking

__getcb alias c'@@GETCB' This works with call __getcb,(3) But is rather pointless, I suppose, since I can just call @@GETCB directly. I can also use: __getcb alias c'__getcb' This also seems to assemble properly, but the binder can't find __getcb. Which I sort of understand,

Call variable messes up the impact analysis tools used by the programmers in our shop. We use DYNAM and call literal except where the called program name is truly variable, pulled from a table for example. I am surprised that call literal does not support names with national characters. I have

PDSEs allow mixed case alias names up to 1023 bytes long. They can only be seen through DESERV, so a utility not named ISPF can look at them (I think PDS 8.6 supports them). If you look at some of the CICS PDSE program object libraries, you can see them in the member list (again, not under

FWIW, I will likely create some "Extended Status" pseudo messages UP_JES3 (NetView is UP, JES3 just reached UP status) and ISUP_JES3 (NetView restarted, JES3 was already UP) to issue the desired command once per life of NetView opposed to the "every night at 22:00" approach currently in place.

I have to reallocate a Linklisted dataset due to space reasons. As expected it is allocated by LLA and XCFAS. Would the dataset be de-allocated at IPL so I might redefine my dataset? Or would there be allocation across the sysplex for other Lpars? thanks Bill
