True. However, for any given stream there is ahigh likelihood of finding a 2 
char symbols that would work for that stream. I wrote a program to scan files 
to find a suitable delimiter string to use some years back. I've lost it now of 
course!

That's not enough.  If the input PDS contains a member with a line beginning 
with "./", which is likely in JCL with instream data, IEBUPDTE will improperly 
treat it as a command, not data.

A similar problem arises if a data line begins with "??".

And no DLM is safe to use with instream XMIT output.

Re: DFsort error message

[Lennie Bradshaw]

As for many abend codes, the numbers relate to SVC number.

Open SVC is 19, which is x'13' hence many OPEN issues are 213 or 913 and so on.
EOV SVC is 55, which is x'37', hence many out of space issues are D37, E37 and 
so on.

This informal rule applies to many other SVCs as well.

Re: TSO ALLOC with/wo unit

[Lennie Bradshaw]

For TSO allocations I think it depends what is specified in the UNIT parameter 
in your TSO RACF segment. If you have SYSALLDA specified then this will accept 
any DASD device. With a specification of SYSDA however, this will depend on the 
Eligible Device Table entries at the site.

The TSO prefix is stored in an unprotected control block (the ECT I think). As

Re: Changes to user's TSO PROFILE

I think the prefix is remembered across TSO sessions, and it is stored in the 
TSO segment of RACF. However, it is stored at LOGOFF time, so interim changes 
are not recorded.

I like REORG.

It's a time-honored (often database) term used to describe various processes

zPDT Learner's Edition

[Lennie Bradshaw]

Has anyone else any information on the zD Learner's Edition that was
recently shown on the IBM zZ pages?
https://www.ibm.com/products/z-development-test-environment/pricing 

It appears that IBM has removed some references to it now, although the FAQs
on that page (need to scroll down) still show a question with a price of
$120 per annum once a person is "Qualified".

Any comments from IBM would be useful.

Re: FTP problem

[Lennie Bradshaw]

Gadi,

I think the userid is not checked until the password is available. You can
confirm this by entering a userid that is not valid. You will still get a
password prompt.

So it looks to me that once the pair are available they are sent to RACF;
where you are getting a wait. You need to understand why RACF/ACF2/TSS is
taking so long with the authentication.

Hi,
We are in the midst of a DR test.
A user is complaining that they are have problems using ftp.

When the issue the ftp command from the command line in windows, they get
the prompt for the user name almost immediately.
Once the user enters the password and presses enter, it takes over a minute
to get the prompt for the password.

Has anyone encountered this problem.

We do not have a similar problem on our production system.

The production system is a z15-t02. The LPAR has 92 GB of storage.
The DR system is a z13s. The LPAR has 16GB of storage.

Both are running z/OS 2.3.

Any help would be appreciated.

Not a real answer - but more of a side question for others.  Whenever I wanted 
a quick look at SMF records I would dump what I was interested in to my own 
dataset, which was VBS of course.  Then I used an auth command we had called 
DSCBMOD (maybe from CBT?) to change VBS to VB and I was off and browsing or 
rexx'ing or whatever.

My assumption (note first 3 letters of assumption) was that I never cared about 
the far right-hand side of the records - so I wasn't missing anything 
important.  Or was I really missing entire records?

I don't know any tool, but I have some idea how to do it.
Use REXX script.
It's quite simple to get member list and do somethin in a loop until 
last member is processed.
What to do?
Again, I don't know any tool, however it could be feasible to use 
IEBGENER with non-empty SYSIN, ICEMAN, or TSO EDIT, or ISPF EDIT, or 
something else.
Caution: things are simple when you just want to replace position 73-80 
despite of its actual content, that means without checking it.

Re: CSNBHMG - ICSF

I believe you are mistaken.

CSNB* calls are for symmetric keys.
CSND* calls are for asymmetric keys.
This was true long before support for AES keys was introduced.

Hi,
CSNB* calls are DES
CSND* calls are AES.
If you are using CSNBHMG you need the DES master key to be set.
And the label used in the call needs to be in the CKDS.
And you need permissions defined in RACF.

I did not intend to start a storm of messages here.
I was simply using the IBM definition of system integrity which they document

Yes, maybe it is semantics. But many working in IBM mainframe security

There's not much benefit to debating the semantics of "integrity".  Nobody who 
doesn't thoroughly understand catalog management should be able to update the 
master catalog, because you can easily destroy the system by removing critical 
dataset entries.  Much more typically, it just fills up with junk.

Re: Architectural Level Sets

[Lennie Bradshaw]

I think this happened with the move to MVS/XA as XA does not recognise a BC 
mode PSW.
So I guess it was the first machine which did not support architectures earlier 
than MVS/XA. 
I suspect that was the 3081.

All my conjecture of course. Let's see what the IBM oracles tell us.

I would like to know at what point during the evolution from S/370 to S/370-XA 
to S/390 to zSeries, did the architecture stop supporting IPL of any OS that 
runs in "BC mode" or that starts out in BC mode, before setting up page and 
segment tables and control registers and then enabling DAT?

In other words, what processor family(s) and specific models in that family, if 
need be, can no longer IPL and run any of the "public domain" operating systems 
from the 1970s to early 1980s?  (DOS/360, OS/360, DOS/VS, OS/VS1, OS/VS2, 
VM/370, TSS/370, etc.)
