Point taken. I have forwarded your mail to the ID person and I'm sure he will update it pretty quickly.

Now you have Lua installed why don't you bench-test it against REXX and report if you get similar results to what I get on my machine http://users.tpg.com.au/crayford/rexx-lua-c-io-benchmark.htm

I have not checked the rest of the doc but the installation doc is not clear at

For one thing, it does show any actual batch jcl example.
The doc indicates that the LUACONF member should be in a separate dataset but 
does not state how to specify it in
relation to the SAMPLIB or dataset containing the actual scripts to be executed.
It makes it look like the script PDS dsname should be passed as a parm instead 
of in the LUA DD.
It is not clear that both LUACONF and the SCRIPT name to be executed can be 
specified in a single LUA DD.

So it appears that the LUACONF member just has to be in the same dataset as the 
script to be run, not a separate CONF dataset.
That's correct. Lua was born as a configuration language so we chose to use a 
LUACONF member as part of the bootstrap. If the doc isn't clear on this please 
let me know.

I am waiting for the LUA4Z.LOADLIB to be added to linklist.
I do not have access to the ISPF command tables.

HOWEVER,
This job worked in batch.
I put the LUACONF member in LUA4Z.SAMPLIB and ran this:

//LUA EXEC PGM=LUA,PARM=IVP
//STEPLIB DD DSN=XCICS.LUA4Z.LOADLIB,DISP=SHR
//*UA     DD DSN=XCICS.LUA4Z.CONF,DISP=SHR

A TSO call will not do the trick. You have to use the Lua launcher. The SAMPLIB 
contains a ready to go ISPF command table to put into USRxCMDS or SITECMDS etc.

To invoke Lua try the following:

If you have installed the command table into your ISPTLIB then simply:

LUA IVP

otherwise, If you have allocated the LUA DD then:

TSO LUA IVP

if the LUA DD is not allocated you can specify the qualifieid  data set:

Nope! The DD should be LUA and the member name should be LUACONF.

Thanks again for the info. I will try to do without linklist for now.

Unfortunately that's not possible. Lua4z is a C/C++ XPLINK application and it 
requires a PO library so a PDSE is mandatory.

I understand your position but XPLINK is the build and it results in much 
faster code. I know you probably already know this but you can always 
dynamically add a PDSE to the linklist.

I do not want to have another linklist lib added for this product and was 
always able to copy PDSE load modules into PDS's.
Is there any way to copy  the LUA4Z.LOADLIB modules into a regular PDS?

You need to enter the y in lower case - otherwise those dataset errors occur.
I have now changed the installation script to fold all input to upper case.

I am not up to snuff on UNIX lately and do not understand what the ? in the 
environment variables mean.
They did work when I added them to my profile, but I never saw this syntax 
before:

export LUA_PATH="./?.lua;\
$LUA_HOME/share/lua/5.1/?.lua;\
$LUA_HOME/share/lua/5.1/?/init.lua;\
$LUA_HOME/lib/lua/5.1/?.lua;\
$LUA_HOME/lib/lua/5.1/?/init.lua;\
//DD:LUA(?)"
The ? is a placeholder for the module name. So if you do the
following

local m = require "test" it will replace "?" with "test" in the search path. 
The //DD:LUA(?) will resolve to //DD:LUA(TEST) so if you are running in TSO or batch it will load the module 
for a PDS(E) allocated to a DDname of LUA.

If you are running native then my suggestion is to set LUA_HOME in the LUACONF 
member to make your life easier http://lua4z.com/doc/manual/install.md.html.

When I ran the script a second time, it did the same. It did _not_
properly detect that the PDSEs existed. It tried to allocate them
again, and I got error messages from that allocation. The script continued to 
run.
All in all, I got what I needed, but it seems to point out a
problem with the installation script. Oh, I entered the data set
names in lower case, which might be the problem.
Many thanks for testing this John. Good catch!

The lua4z/examples/ivp.lua fails when I run it from my UNIX shell.

​I looked at the ivp.lua. It references a variable "modules" which
contains "cjson" and "socket". There exists an cjson.so in the
LUA_CPATH. But "socket" is a directory in /HM/lua4z/lib/lua/5.1, not an ".so" 
file.
Granted, I need to read up on lua, but given the results, this
seems like it may be a problem in the ivp.lua script.​

Minor nits, but thought I'd give you a heads up.

Can I convince you to try it again. I've uploaded  an updated IVP.
