COBOL cob2 Unix compile and SVC99 (DYNALLOC)

I put this out in the world in case anyone has the same issue in the future. I've been playing around with the z/OS Unix environment recently. One of the things I've been playing with is the _BPX_SHAREAS environment variable which allows multiple Unix processes to run in the same Unix address s

Re: JCL to tar USS directory

For in-stream data sets: with the SH option, trailing blanks are not truncated. Records in in-stream data sets are concatenated with blanks as separator characters, and the string remaining after the SH token is passed as a single argument to a /bin/sh -c command. For the PGM option, the string

CICS and COBOL DISPLAY UPON CONSOLE

I just accidentally did a DISPLAY UPON CONSOLE statement in a CICS program and was surprised that it actually worked. The documentation seems to indicate that this is not supported. Has something changed? Is this supported or just "happens to work"? Enterprise COBOL V6.2 and CICS V5.4.

Re: Problem executing bpxwunix

"bpxwunix() can be used outside of the z/OS UNIX REXX environment (for example, in TSO/E). In this case, stdin, stdout, stderr, and environment variables are not inherited from the current process environment. For example, when executing a REXX exec in this environment, you must either export th
