Products from UCC (at least, UCC7 and UCC11) came in source form with line numbers. Fixes came in IEBUPDTE form to insert lines by line number. When a new release came out, they would tell you which programs were renumbered so you would know which local mods you had to rework. In 1984, we were

I found that not only is the subject often ignored, I can't ask for more than one piece of information in an email. I will only get the answer to the first question. And if I respond to a question with additional information in anticipation of the next question, I will always get asked what I

Back then, we had a 2-processor machine. It had to support multiple CICS test regions along with the TSO users and batch. Online compiles were not allowed because TSO was for short-running transactions with plenty of think time. Tieing up your (possibly shared) terminal (and not doing anything

Re: XMITIP and ANTI SPOOF message

2021-02-18 Thread Stuart Holland
This discussion started out talking about XMITIP, which means running on z/OS and using CSSMTP (or the older SMTP server). There is no user authentication with the server. If you know how to create the headers and how to get output to CSSMTP, you can create a sequential file and use IEBGENER

Re: setting up CSSMTP to use TLS-SSL

Tom would sometimes send long notes, and occasionally put something in the middle to see if anyone actually read it. I would usually be the first (or only) person to respond to whatever he stuck there.  So Tom: the recent "Where's Waldo?" pictures I have seen have him standing pretty much by

The messages will be in an XMIT queue (which is a local queue). The name will probably be the name of the remote server. If not, check the remote queue definition. It will have the name of the XMIT queue. That is what you want to clear. On 4/14/20 4:20 PM, Pommier, Rex wrote: Hi all, First

Skip, check the internal documentation web site. I left complete instructions on configuring the ICCs. If you edit a session, be sure to check all of the fields. The dialog resets some to their defaults instead of retaining their values. On 02/14/2015 02:43 PM, J O Skip Robinson wrote: I
