Re: System completion code FCD
From the MVS System Codes manual - 2.610 Fnn -- Fnn Explanation: The system detected an error while processing a Supervisor Call (SVC) instruction. The last 2 digits of this completion code, nn, are the operand of the SVC instruction in hexadecimal. For example, completion code X'F0D' means that the error occurred while the system was processing SVC X'0D', that is, SVC 13. basically you are missing svc x'CD' (decimal 205).

So I changed BLKSIZE=0 to both JCL above. As result, the first job runs fine as before, but in the second IEBGENER doesn't want to copy the file. I always get: IEB352I WARNING: ONE OR MORE OF THE OUTPUT DCB PARMS COPIED FROM INPUT IEB317I JOB TERMINATED,NO INPUT BLKSIZE/LRECL I tried several time adding PARM='SDB=YES' or LARGE, but no way. I tried to comment DCB out, no way either. I really ran out of ideas. I know I can use DFSMSdss COPYDUMP to accomplish the second goal, but the question here is why is IEBGENER not able to handle a file whose BLKSIZE has been system determined. We are at z/OS 1.4 level. Any help is appreciated. AFAIK it is ADRDSSU fault. ADRDSSU does *not* use LBI (blocksize 32kB), however uses blocks up to 64kB in it's own way. I would say illegal way. The effect is there is no valid blocksize information neither in TMS (IBM RMM at least) nor tape labels. The dataset looks like it would have blocksize=0. Not SDB, just ZERO. Solution: Method 1. Code blocksize=32760 in first step. Probably (I haven't checked it) you'll get 'legal' blocksize values. Method 2. Change step2, drop IEBGENER, use ADRDSSU COPYDUMP instead. Method 3. Use OUTDD(TAPE1,TAPE2) in first step and drop second. Rad, Sorry, DFDSS overrides any blocksize and substitutes it with its own blocksize. It used to fail if you specified blocksize. With IEBGENER, you cannot specify BLKSIZE=0 for a RECFM=U file, you must specify an explicit numeric blocksize. I agree with the poster who said earlier that you should use two OUTDD statements in DFDSS to make a separate copy. You can't copy DFDSS tapes with IBM utilities. Tom, (I'm Radek, Rad is very radioactive g) 1. Documentation clearly says dss honor specified blocksize value, some limitation apply: If the DCB keyword BLKSIZE is specified on the DD statement for tape or DASD, it must be in the range of 7 892 to 32 760 inclusive. What did you mean saying it used to fail ? Any scenario ? 2. Yes, I can copy DFDSS tapes using IBM utilitiy - DSS COPYDUMP. It is utility, it comes from IBM. I believe DITTO (IBM utility) can also copy the tape, and latest Tivoli branded tool as well. 3. I agree, in this case double outddname would be the best.

Re: STAE/ESTAE
OK, I'll bite. In what way would having an MNOTE issued from STAE help someone? STAE is fully supported (and will be forever); it is just that there are better things out there, especially considering that STAE does not even support AMODE 31. If you're currently happy with your use of STAE, what benefit is there to your changing your (presumably working) program from its current use? If the MNOTE was a warning (CC=4), current users would be very unhappy. If it was CC=0 then you'd have to know to search for the MNOTE (unless you stumbled over it), and if you did know to search for it, you'd know enough just to scan for STAE. And if you're new and looking at documentation, you will see that the first line of the documentation for STAE contains Note: IBM recommends that you use the ESTAEX macro or ESTAE macro rather than STAE.

Re: RSVNONR -DB2
Check the archives. This is WAD. DB2 uses cross memory services to operate, and in order to reduce the number of resources it uses, at subsystem initialization, it issues an SRB into the MASTER address space to allocate the system LX's. Because of this, when DB2 subsystems shutdown, the ASN's are marked as non-reusable because there is a XM linkage between ASN 1 and the DB2 ASN's. (I am not sure if the ASN reuse code in z/OS 1.6 changes this, maybe Peter Relson could comment). The best way to avoid this situation is to NOT recycle DB2 regions. I see little reason why DB2 has to be stopped during the lifetime of an IPL.

Interesting typo for what of course is really z/OS 1.7!

IBM's algorithmes of numbering products have always been a mistery, so we
will not be surprised by whatever the name will be of z/OS 1.7's successor,

If so, considering the large jump in numbers, the jump in technology will be
of the same magnitude, so I bet on a DVD incorporating microcode, operating

Earlier in this thread Rolf Ernst also pointed out the TCBFSA hack, which works very well (especially when the storage address is already being passed as a parameter in R1!). TCBFSA points to a key 8 save area at the top of the task's SA chain, so no storage violations if you choose to use it. And yes, name/token services is the right answer.

Re: Region requested by MQBroker
We have found following explanation: http://www-306.ibm.com/software/data/db2/db2olap/v81docs/zosinst/olapz81tfrm.htm?olapz8115.htm Programming the IEFUSI user exit Memory should not be limited by the IEFUSI user exit. IBM recommends that you bypass normal IEFUSI processing when the subsystem is OMVS. DB2 OLAP Server spawns processes for each OLAP application. According to the MVS Installation Exits manual, at the time of the IEFUSI processing, the kernel has not yet propagated the parent's region size to the child. Therefore, IEFUSI has nothing to work with. If IEFUSI modifies the region size of the child process, the kernel will honor that region size, and it will not propagate the region size from parent to child. This can result in a failure of a fork if the region size is insufficient for the storage requirements of the forked process. If you must run with the IEFUSI exit, be sure that it correctly handles the region size available to the OMVS address space. The IEFUSI exit should be coded to check for OMVS and should not set the x'80' bit in REGFLAGS for OMVS regions. The REGFLAGS x'80' bit means that you use the values that IEFUSI has set into the region size values. This can cause an inappropriate and unintended region size limit for OMVS; it is often 54 MB, but the value can vary by system. If your IEFUSI exit has not been updated in several years, it is likely that the OMVS address space runs with a 54 MB region size, even though it looks like it is not limiting the OMVS region size. When IBM added UNIX (Open Edition, then UNIX System Services), they made OMVS a special case that behaves differently from other region types and documented it as being different. Some customers did not amend their IEFUSI exits that predated the introduction of the OMVS region type and did not implement the change that IBM suggested. The suggestion became a requirement when maintenance caused IEFUSI behavior to limit the OMVS region size to 54 MB. OLAP is likely to require more memory than 54 MB and will fail to execute correctly. New variables were added to the REGION DSECT in recent years, including REGNAME, which can be used to detect the OMVS region. Here is some sample IEFUSI logic: L BASENAME,REGNAMEcheck for region type parm CLC 0(4,BASENAMEN),=CL4'OMVS' is it OMVS region? BE Return OI REGFLAGS,X'80' SET THAT IEFUSI CONTROLS NON-OMVS REGION You can find more information about the IEFUSI exit in MVS Installation Exits and DOC APAR OW38477.

Re: RSVNONR -DB2
What's interesting is that the Init Tuning Reference manual says: If started tasks or batch jobs that create non-reusable ASIDs end enough times, they will exhaust all available ASIDs and an IPL will be required. When IPLing is not an acceptable option, determine which programs caused the problems and fix them. For methods that prevent running out of ASIDs, see z/OS MVS Programming: Extended Addressability Guide. Perhaps IBM DB2 should take this advice.

Like FORTRAN Named Common. Although the mechanism used is not like FORTRAN named common and its C and PL/I analogues, the linkage editor in the past and now the binder play a crucial role. CXD is in fact a request to the binder tpo place the cumulative pseudoregister, externsal dummy section, length in a specified location. Moreover, just as PL/I controlled variables can have either scope, internal or external, it is possible to limnit access to this storage to a single callable routine, which CAN make addresses available to other dynamically loaded or linked-to routines. None of this is for novices, but then neither are name/token services. My point was that within a single perhaps multitasking or multithreaded context DXD and CXD are very much more efficient.

Re: User experiences TAPE/COPY
Lieven, The great thing about Tape/Copy is that we do have many customers using the product. If you would like a list of customer references you can email me directly or give us a call at the 800 number listed below. IBM and STK professional services use Tape/Copy whenever they perform any migrations. Tape/Copy does copy both cataloged and non-cataloged tapes without first identifying the volume serial number. Tape/Copy is able to stack if you want to stack to high density tape (3590,3592, 9840) and select enough datasets to fill the tape. Tape/Copy can also unstack all the datasets on a stacked tape or extract one file or a list of files from a stacked tape. Tape/Copy can also identify what tapes are in an ATL and which are in a VTL. Tape/Copy does have an ESTAE routine and is capable of continuing after a bad tape if you are not stacking. Once a tape dataset is migrated to a new volume the TMS is updated with the original information, such as created date/time/program. We do not expect you the customer to write any home-grown code to update the TMS. Tape/Copy does support and have customers running all of the know Tape Management systems, CA1, TLMS, RMM, Control-T, Zara.

I generally prefer to unallocate by DDNAME rather than by DSNAME,

the DDNAMEs may be an unintended consequence. I understand that
various IBM software has suffered from this defect; I don't
know any current examples. A utility shouldn't FREE anything
it didn't ALLOCATE; it shouldn't leave anything ALLOCATEd that
was FREEd before it was called.

Re: Newbie doubt about Supervised State
Victor, the best answer is *probably* that you should try to find another way to accomplish whatever task that you want to accomplish - in other words, without using reserved functions. The legendary reliability and integrity of z/OS is in part due to the functions that are reserved for supervisory programs, and the reluctance of system administrators to grant supervisory authority - particularly to a newbie. Nothing personal - it's just easy for a beginner to make an honest mistake that might cost an IPL (or a ding on your company's annual audit). If you still think that you absolutely need this particular function, you will need to discuss it with your management and your security folks. IBM-MAIN can help you with the technical details.

I have a PL/I program trying to work with ICSF, and using one of the functions (I don't remember which one) and I reached Return Code 8; Reason Code 2068. It means I must execute the program in supervisor state or key 0. What can I do to execute my program in Supervisor state? -- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
Re: SMP/E Upgrade to 3.3 Gone Bad.
- Original Message - From: Howard Rifkind [EMAIL PROTECTED] Newsgroups: bit.listserv.ibm-main Sent: Thursday, July 21, 2005 1:31 PM Subject: SMP/E Upgrade to 3.3 Gone Bad. In the process of upgrading SMP/E to V3R3 the apply check ran without any issues, RC=0. Running the apply it blasted the day lights out of things starting with a failure on a GIM dataset which ran out of directory blocks. What would be the best way to back things out to prior to running the apply step. Howard, Unless you took a backup of your ENTIRE target environment just prior to the APPLY, your best bet is to fix the directory blocks and rerun the APPLY. SMP/E will do just fine if you fix the datasets and go forward.

Re: The clamor begins for IBM to give up the code for OS/2

My recollection and understanding is (was?) that when most people ask for IBM to open-source OS/2, it's the WPS that they want in order to port just that to Linux. If WPS gets ported to Linux, why would anybody care that OS/2 is dead? [1] So a good question would be does the WPS by itself have IP that IBM would not be able to open-source? [1] I discovered that OS/2 was dead when one of my SCSI HDs failed and a friend suggested Forget SCSI, just get a big IDE disk to replace all your SCSI disks. Turns out that OS/2 can't be installed on IDE disks 4 GB. And don't bother to tell me about alternate drivers and hacks and whatever. I wasted days on them. They don't work. I bought a big SCSI disk for a ridiculous amount of money and immediately committed myself to abandoning my once-beloved OS/2 system. I've powered it up for a total of maybe 2 hours in the last 3 years. Footnote to the footnote. I just read a lot of the stuff on ecomstation.com . It's pretty funny... the whole thing is an argument for why ECS is NOT a viable option in today's world. And BTW, after using NT4 and XP for years, I still miss OS/2 and hate Winblows. /Leonard -- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html

Re: Using WSED for HLASM development

We have looked into the documentation etc. but we would like to hear from any experiences with the product. Especially, the following questions have arised: 1. Is HLASM really a focus of WSED ? All examples e.g. in the self- learning course are for COBOL or PL/1... 2. How about the integration of other, development-oriented tools, e.g. SCLM ? 3. What are the advantages from a developers point of view ? How well do the two platforms really integrate (development on PC, assembly / test on mainframe, e.g. under ISPF) ? I have not used WSED, but I do use Eclipse with various Open Source low cost plugins for Java Development. Keep in mind that WSED is Eclipse with IBM added plugins. The doc I see on WSED does not mention any special support for HLASM. You might want to evaluate plain old Eclipse (with plugins for your requirements - I use MyEclipse for J2EE) against WSED features. -Rob -- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
Re: SMP/E Upgrade to 3.3 Gone Bad.
Thanks everyone. I backup all the datasets that had an SMPE HLQ but I didn't know anything about datasets with an HLQ of GIM. I did this on my test lpar so I can copy restore most everything and and the GIM datasets I can get off of the production Lpar. john gilmore [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Edward E.
