Re: IBM Enterprise COBOL for z/OS, V6.1 supports the continuous delivery model for new features

Decimal floating point is nothing to do with being "64-bit" or not. The compiler is prepared for 64-bit when customer need arises. V7 is coming. I don't know when, or what it contains, but it contains something to be V7 not V6.n. If it were to be 64-bit addressing, I doubt that... people...

Re: IBM Enterprise COBOL for z/OS, V6.1 supports the continuous delivery model for new features

The big advantage of 64 bit on the mainframe is the elimination of paging. Using hundreds of address spaces that are potentially 1-2 GB each spread over 32GB or more instead of paging in and out with much smaller amount of memory. On Sun, Mar 12, 2017 at 3:01 AM, Bill Woodger

Re: Can you use IDCAMS REPRO on zFS files

Zfs aggregate will help extending the zfs file dynamically if it runs out of space. To dynamically extend, the option aggrgrow= on should be specified in IOEPRMxx or IOEFSPRM file which defines the configuration options for zfs PROC. The Zfs aggregate must have secondary allocation defined and

Ed. I am nost surprised, it seems critical thinking has disappeared or is hiding. It's like the cycle of a company centralizing IT resources and de-centralizing..all at the whim of some mangler. I feel you have to have a long range game plan for company, products, etc. Scott On Sun, Mar 12,

Re: IBM Enterprise COBOL for z/OS, V6.1 supports the continuous delivery model for new features

Ratio of virtual address space to real memory is largely independent of addressing mode. Potentially 64-bit addressing makes the problem worse in that a 31-bit program can only map 2GB of virtual onto whatever backing real is available, but a 64-bit program could potentially map 9 exabytes,

Re: IBM Enterprise COBOL for z/OS, V6.1 supports the continuous delivery model for new features

Mike, is that the top of a list of performance/usability improvements for 64-bit addressing in general and in isolation? Or for a combined 31-bit-vs-64-bit, so that the difference in paging outweighs other losses? A quote from Tom Ross, from a discussion here on 15 January 2015, which shortly

John, My career is similar , unit record equip then 360/40 DOS/VS/POWER, the 360/40 had MFCM and I learned Assembler on a 360/20, of course I wasn't in your wonderful country, I always liked Canada. Scott On Fri, Mar 10, 2017 at 7:23 AM John Abell < john.ab...@intnlsoftwareproducts.com> wrote:
