A vendor has to charge for its services and they are entitled to charge as

number support at no additional charge, but to charge extra to use the Web.
Totally backwards.

I have a program written in LE C++ that is among other usages designed to be
callable from a COBOL (or potentially other LE) program. I recently changed
the program to run POSIX(ON) because it is now sometimes calling the GSK
crypto routines.
Now, when I call it from a COBOL program I get the

I really appreciate the flexibility IBM demonstrates in the last sentence:
Be running with POSIX(ON) and have set the environment variables to signal
that you want to establish a nested enclave. You can use the __POSIX_SYSTEM
environment variable to cause a system() to establish a nested enclave
Two problems here, right?
1. How can a COBOL program handle an input file with a variety of fixed (?)
record lengths.
2. How can a COBOL program encrypt a field?
Answers:
1. I'm not much of a COBOL guy but I am going to guess you need three different
FD's and a PARM= that tells it which one
.
The obvious ways to make the first three interchangeable---using one of the
HLASM macro-language LOWER or UPPER BIFs or the like---would indeed make
'nO' admissible too. A line or two of ad hoc code would be re

Not necessarily
Dragging this thread kicking and screaming back to the OP, yup, it works. I
had generic C-callable ATTACH, WAIT, and DETACH functions in assembler. I
wrapped some minimal C around them and voila! Only about 3 or 4 hours wasted
on this stupid, stupid bit of design idiocy.

FTP can access the JES queues -- job output and submission anyway.
SYSLOG is a JES facility.
Ergo ... ?

I was the OP. I'm going to take the liberty of replying here. I coded around it.
This is the problem for me with IBM fixes. Not complaining, just stating a
fact: I could not have waited this long for a fix.
It's too bad IBM does not have some more-established process whereby one could

I have this vague recollection that this rumor ran through IBMMAIN a year or

Vista is a wonderful product but I don't think it is able to query a
