Re: Defining DASD-Only MVS Logging Streams
-Original Message- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List On Behalf Of Robert A. Rosenberg I am in the process of migrating come CICS/ESA 4.1 regions to CICS/TS 2.3 and have run into a GOTCHA. CICS/TS 2.3 does not support CICS Controlled Journals but uses MVS Logging Streams for this purpose. In looking at the documentation all of the descriptions and JCL Examples of MVS Logging Streams talk about using the Coupling Facility (although the is some mention of a DASD-Only alternative). I can find no examples or descriptions (I might have missed something) of how to go the DASD-Only route (we do not have a CF). Can someone please point me at the correct manual with samples of the needed JCL (or email me examples) to define the Stream as well as allocate the needed Datasets (if the Logger does not allocate/create them on-the-fly as needed). We need this for User Journals. Hmmm We don't use User Journals but their initial definition and setup should be identical to DFHLOG and DFHSHUNT. See the CICS TS 2.3 Installation Guide (chapter twenty-something, IIRC) for sizing, naming conventions, CSD definitions, etc., and the MVS Setting Up A Sysplex manual for the IXCMIAPU commands and keywords. -jc- -- 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: SMPE DDDEF DSNTYPE Query
In reviewing the DDDEFs for a newly created set of Zones, I noticed that there was a DSNTYPE parm that has LIBRARY (ie: PDSE) defined for some of them. What is the significance for SMPE of having this set. IOW: Will I get into trouble if I have DDDEFs that are PDSEs but lack this setting? As Shane suggested, DSNTYPE and many other data set attribute operands can safely be ignored when referencing an existing data set. For the most part DSNTYPE and other attributes are useful only if defining new and/or temporary data sets with DDDEF entries.

Re: SMPE DDDEF DSNTYPE Query
* PATH is meaningful only in a target zone DDDEF entry, because the information is used only for processing a target zone. Yea, that would be incorrect. Obviously the SMPNTS directory can be defined in the global zone using a DDDEF. SMPWKDIR can also be defined using a DDDEF entry, in the global zone used for RECEIVE, and in target and dlib zones used for APPLY/ACCEPT of ++JARUPD elements. Now that DF/SMS permits BPAM access to HFS directories, and they can therefore be used in HLASM SYSLIB, I wonder if SMP/E supports use of HFS directories in SYSLIB concatenations? Must try. Good question. Even if SMP/E allocates a concatenation with a mix of directories and data sets, I wonder if HLASM/BPAM can read from it correctly. Things that make you go hmmm...

SCRT Question
Howdy, According to the JCL tailoring instructions, the only field that needs changed from the original JCL is the customer name/number but I've run a few test runs changing the 2nd PARM field to actually reflect the MSU's put in Defined Capacity as well as running the default (nothing in that field) and the numbers are -much- different if the actual D.C. and # of lpars is specified. So my question to the group is which way are you running your SCRT report? It appears if the actual MSU's are specified the billable MSU's are much less than when you use the default.

What is the hexadecimal value before and after translation? I would
expect one of ~ (7E) or ¬ (AC) in the PC version.
It's the 0xAC. I know you periodically chastise persons who
submit non-USASCII text and fail to indicate the code page.
This ought to apply even more to persons who post code in ASCII
extensions intended to run on an EBCDIC system and fail to
indicate both the ASCII and EBCDIC pages needed for translation.
All the tabs I noted were in comments. Relatively harmless.
And, in one of the files, I see:
grep '[\\/¬] *='
/*IF LINE = JLIN TY_FL /= 'Y' THEN CALL TYPRUN */
IF POS2 /= 0 THEN
IF POSX /= 0 THEN DO
IF TRANSLATE(SUBSTR(FUNC1,1,1)) /= ' ' THEN
IF UID /= USERID() THEN
IF MSG \= ' ' THEN
IF POS3 /= 0 THEN
DO UNTIL LISTRC ¬= 0
... a marvelous stylistic variety: three different representations
of not equal; maximizing the probability that on any given
target system at least one will fail.
(I hadn't realized /= is an acceptable form; I had known only
of \=.)
And, for the individual who sent me privately the two files
as attachments, still containing the non-USASCII character,
('Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1'), but still
with no indication of the EBCDIC code page to use:

Re: Are there any mainframe sites out there that don't use JCLCHECK/JCLPREP or equivalent
I found the following worked for a clean character translation: 1. Click on link for each, Save As a txt file; 2. Rename each *.txt file to *.txt.gz; 3. Use Cygwin gunzip from a command window to unzip both files, without running either through iconv or anything else. In the resulting txt files, I see an *almost* consistent use of the alternate NOT symbol / (forward slash, as in /= for not equal). In one case, I saw \ used in this way (backwards slash, as in \= for not equal). I also saw one case where the /= was separated by a space (/ =), which I do not *think* is valid REXX.
