Re: Colours on screen (mainframe history question)

The interesting question to me is "which colours"?

I would say we started with a 3-bit colour space: R, G, B. And so the 
colour Red is 100 in this space and a more complex colour like Yellow is 
probably 110.

Is this right, though?

In particular I'd be surprised if a 4th bit weren't used. But for what?

Very early 1980s - earlier than I remember support for DIDOCS or ISPF.
And almost certainly GDDM was under development in parallel with the
3279 hardware; IBM rarely comes out with hardware on a whim that has
no software to support it. One must also remember that the 3279 was
merely the first implementation of an architectural shift in the 3270
series.

I have a base SYSplex setup, but I still need to setup JES3 in Plex mode.  I

Type 17 is non-VSAM only.  I think that type 65 is VSAM related only.
The type 42s are after my active time but they may be of help.

Even as AFP works if the writer for the PCL printer writer is AFP-savvy.

And PDF is more commonly supported than AFP.  IBM distributes the z/OS

For Host V(iewing) in SDSF GDDM and graphics terminal are required. There are 
AFP vierwers forPC at the Ricoh site. INFO Print converts to whatever is 
specified to the specific printer. . 

How does an AFP data spool file appear viewed with SDSF?  Does it matter
if the terminal has graphic capability?

I might expect desktop AFP viewers, most likely for Windows.

Ideally for portability, graphic spool files should be in a common format
such as PDF (MacOS appear to do that), PostScript, SVG, ...

What happens if a program writes millions of lines print-nospace to a

Re: Storage & tape question

[Edward Finnell]

The biggest whomp I heard about was at Midwestern data-center. Highway 
department dropped a load of ammonium nitrate to widen the Interstate. Over the 
weekend lightning hit the trailer and kaboom-ed 32k lbs. It was about halfway 
between primary and secondary data centers. Knocked out the bearings on all 
their SLEDs at both sites.
Saw them at a tuning conference a few weeks later and they still looked like 
zombies.

There was a neat presentation at SHARE by one of the paint companies in the 
Susquehanna Valley about single point of failure. I forget all the details but 
again highway department knocked off the side of a cliff. It had their freshly 
run fiber between Headquarters, data center and backup. Nothing was damaged but 
the fiber. They just couldn't talk to each other. Ended up running fiber over 
an abandoned railroad trestle. One of the sysprogs was a climber and had him 
upside down repelling over the river.

There have been some whoppers in reporting. Like the 9672-n3 to n4 weren't 
adding up to expectations. Cheryl pointed out what had happened was they ran 
out of room on the chip and had to add an off-board processor for some of the 
instructions. It was really nasty in some of the COBOL programs with Indexed by 
usage was high. So in the LSPR numbers no COBOL pgms with Indexed-by were used.

Re: ISPF Question - browsing variable length records

For some reason I got pulled into a battle between keypunch supervisor and

029 solution that would tab and verify to the correct fields. Happy campers for 
a long time 'til somebody lost one of the drums.

ISPF was Nulls On/Off STD. Had a couple of hot-shot programmers who found they

Worked 'til they went in with Nulls on. The ISPPROF members are tagged with

A general note:  The SMF records are described in  z/OS Version 2 Release 3 MVS

Find the version appropriate to your z/OS Operating system level.

Note:  Not all IBM collected records are described in there

For example, in DFSMShsm Storage Administration is where the SMF records are 
discussed for DFHSM.

Unless your shop changed the numbers, they are typically 240/241

So long as your z/OS System programmer or Stg Admin has set HSM to capture SMF, 
then you will need to determine how the SMF data is offloaded and stored at 
your shop.  If you can issue the command F dfhsm-stc-name,Q SETSYS - that will
