Re: 3745 cable pin out.
There was a complete set of manuals shipped with every 3745 and one of them was just what you are looking for. It describes every standard, non-RPQ, cable for the 3745 and all its features, complete with IBM Part Number and the pin-out of the DCE end of the cables. AFAIK the manual was the same for all models of the 3745. The book wasn't used very often, but if the shipping group of your machine is complete it should be there, most likely with the CE-only manuals.

Re: Is there any XML parser available on z/OS ?
I have written a fast XML (SAX) parser in C, which runs on z/OS, callable from C, PL/1 or other languages. But I probably will not be able to sell it to you, because the development was paid by a customer of mine. But if you really want, I can ask them. You can use the toolkit or get another open source XML parser and try to port it to z/OS, if not already done. But they usually have large footprints and do lot of things you probably don't want. Our parser is fast and not very large (some 1000 lines of source code). Kind regards Bernd Am Dienstag, 25.

Sysplex Distributor with DVIPA experiences to share?
Hi, The main benefits of Sysplex Distributor with DVIPA are: * network-based workload balancing for TCP/IP applications * non-disruptive application server instance movement * non-disruptive takeover and takeback of the distributor in case of a TCP/IP stack failure Q1. Have you implemented Sysplex Distributor? Main reason: high (continuous) availability? workload balancing? both? Q2. What kind of applications? IMS Connect? With or without shared queues? Pros, cons in this respect? OTMA considerations? DB2 Connect? Home-written Connector? MQ? With MQ clustering? Or MQ shared queues? Pros, cons in this respect? Q3. Any experiences to share? nasty, pretty, watch-outs ... Stability of the involved product set? In other words, is this proven technology after 4 years of availability? Difficulties encountered? I'm pretty sure you have in this TCP connection oriented world. Shortcomings? I realize, these are easy questions, with open ended answers.

Re: Changing time Date
Can date time be changed without affecting the other systems in the sysplex? I doubt it. Part of the sysplex concept is a common time source, so that all images in the plex are on the same time. I doubt if you can change the time on one image without crashing. Back in the late 90s, there were a number of programs which could make the time/date appear to be different for specific jobs, for use in Y2K testing.

Re: DFSORT problem when generating RMM reports
Staffan, I think you have hit upon a situation that is covered in the DFSORT Programmers Guide under VLSCMP. http://publibz.boulder.ibm.com/cgi-bin/bookmgr_OS390/BOOKS/ice1ca10/3.12? SHELF=EZ2ZO10FDT=20050222160456 If a record is short any binary compare causes a comparison using hex zero for the 'missing' field in the short record. So your LT,'2' is true even for a short record. I still do not know why the short record is included because it does not have 'X' in column 5. By changing the INCLUDE offsets you have caused different records to be selected; that doesnt fix the problem, just create a different report :-) I think a better pair of eyes than mine is required to explain this.

Re: Time change this weekend.
Cletus, The key to all this is that GMT=GMT on your system, and NOT GMT=LOCAL time. If the latter, you will have problems when you change time without Waiting an hour. Quite sometime ago IBM time proofed almost Everything by using GMT(which doesn't change) for everything. Of Course there were some gotcha's, and there may still be, but from An OS perspective, going backwards to standard time is no problem.

Re: DFSORT problem when generating RMM reports
Thanks Mike, the VLSCMP issue MIGHT explain why I get more in the report than I hoped for (but not quite). In any case, how about this twist to the problem - if I insert the following DFSORT step to generate a temporary file from the extract file and use that as input instead, it works! OPTION COPY OUTFIL INCLUDE=(5,1,CH,EQ,C'X') Yes, correct! It's the same INCLUDE as in the main run! The world is going crazy. And even better (or worse) - SYNCSORT and its SYNCTOOL doesn't work either with the original JCL, and gives the following message: WER230A INREC FIELD OUTSIDE RANGE Staffan -- 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

However there are records that are 820 bytes long as shown in the ICE218A message, but they contain a 'V' in pos 5, not 'X'. So why do I get message ICE218A?

It would require another set of parentheses after the last AND to work the way you're saying: ... AND, ((156,8,CH,EQ,C'VLT1'), OR, (156,8,CH,EQ,C'DR2H'), OR, (156,8,CH,EQ,C'DR8H'), OR, (156,8,CH,EQ,C'DR8A'), OR, (156,8,CH,EQ,C'DR8B'), OR, (156,8,CH,EQ,C'DR8C'))) With that extra set of parentheses, my test shows the 'V'/'DR8H' record is not included. With VLSCMP in effect, the short records are treated as if they are padded with binary zeros, so they may or may not be included depending on the specific condition in relation to the binary zeros.

Create PDS member alias in Rexx
I have a Rexx EXEC which has worked well for many years, (with occasional enhancements). It runs under IKJEFT01, with a temporary PDS allocated to a DDNAME (say SYSUT2) in JCL. It creates members with a SAS utility which supports the construct dd:SYSUT2(member) for output. Suddenly I have a requirement to create a directory alias for member. TSO RENAME membername aliasname ALIAS doesn't even come close: SYSUT2 is not catalogued (and I'd prefer not to catalogue it), and I don't know its DSNAME (and I'd prefer not to know it). Any suggestions? Would ISPF/LMF help me? Can ISPF/LMF create aliases? A following IEBCOPY step will unload the temporary PDS to tape. Can I create aliases with IEBCOPY? Can an intervening utility create the aliases?

In [EMAIL PROTECTED], on 10/21/2005 at 03:19 PM, Edward E. Jaffe [EMAIL PROTECTED] said: Back from the dead? Not unlike Mark Twain's experience, the rumors of WSA's demise were greatly exaggerated. The rumors were that it was functionally stabilized. Given it's current limitations, that's dead in the context of my message. A rumor got started that Raleigh wanted to stabilize WSA. (BTW, the rumor was true. But there's a tremendous difference between wanting to do something and actually doing it.) After the product was relocated to OZ, the decision was made *not* to stabilize WSA. Are you sure? If so, that's good news. In a fairly recent conversation on this subject, the ISPF development team in OZ suggested that if I had specific requirements for WSA, they would be interested to hear what they were. Well, the obvious requirements are 1. Allow multiline text and block cutpaste operations. 2. Support WSA on Linux, with CP interoperability for KDE and GNOME. 3.

CA-VTAPE Questions
Current environment: Running CA-VTAPE version 2.0 shared across multiple Lpars Prod, QUAL, TEST). We are planning to implement CA-VTAPE 11 in the net few weeks/months. We are also implementing newer naming standards across all LPARS to comply with upper manangement directives and management would also like to install CA-TAPE on each LPAR (not Shared). Anyway, I have a few questions which I hope I can get answers to. They are: 1) Can multiple versions of CA-VTAPE be run on one LPAR? We might not be able to share the Global VCAT across all LPARS? 2) if answer to 1 is yes, how can we handle recalls on data that was Externalized? Again, we will be using newer data set naming Standard and I'm concerned about how to handle recalls of older data sets that did not conform to the newer Data set naming standards? 3)Can the older Global VCAT to merged or copied to the newer Global VCAT? Will probably have more question in the next few days but that is all for now.
