By online, I mean either IMS online or CICS. I found a program entitled COB2JOB on the web that gives examples of various MVS Control Block addresses and useful data. In one section of this program, there is reference to the TCB and at the 53rd address, the TCBEXT2 (Common Extension) and at offset 21, the address of the AFCB. The program says if there is a valid (non-zero) address in there, then we must be under CICS control; otherwise, batch. I tested this in an IMS online environment and this address is zero, so I cannot use this to determine anything IMS. Do you know of an area in the MVS Control Blocks that will definitively indicate being under IMS online control, similar to this CICS solution?

Converting TOD to Local Time
Hello, We are using an Assembler program to analyse SMF output records of CICS transactions. The timestamps in the CICS SMF records are in TOD format. In order to get a readable timestamp we are using the STKCONV macro, but this gives us the GMT time rather than our local time. Does anybody have an example of an ASSEMBLER routine to convert the TOD time figures to our local time ? Or any other solution for us ?

I don't have an assembler routine to contribute, but I can warn you that there are three, not two, interpretations of a TOD time stamp available. 1. The STCK instruction produces an absolute time stamp. 2. Adjusting that using CVT field CVTLSO from the generating CICS system yields a UTC (nearly synonymous with obsolete term GMT) time stamp. 3. Adjusting that using CVT field CVTLDTO from the generating CICS system yields a local time stamp. You may, however, use CVTLDTO from the system doing your formatting if your goal is to get a report adjusted to YOUR system's local time. Be certain which interpretation applies to your starting value. The adjustment values are doublewords and either require that your assembler routine use zSeries doubleword arithmetic or use fullword arithmetic plus overflow logic to carry/borrow from one word to the other.

Re: Converting TOD to Local Time
In a recent note, john gilmore said: Date: Tue, 13 Dec 2005 12:25:06 + Beware of the complications of daylight time, summer time or whatever if you use it. I'll expand on this. In such locations, converting a 6-month-old TOD value will more likely than not result in a value in error by an hour. So: If the timestamp already has CVTLSO applied, good; otherwise: Use a table of the canon of leap seconds to correct for leap seconds. Note that this depends on when the site may have installed a Sysplex Timer -- prior to installation, the Leap Second offset will be zero; afterwards, use the table. Once you have corrected for Leap Seconds, the CRTL function, localtime() can give the mostly correct local time in its format, but beware yet: o You must apply an affine transformation to convert microseconds based in 1900 to seconds based in 1970. o The granularity of localtime() is one second. o The z/OS version of localtime() may give incorrect results for timestamps older than about 1974, when the U.S. DST convention changed. (But was there a TOD clock then?) Most OS other than z/OS do better. A similar problem may arise circa 2007, when it is proposed again to change the U.S. DST convention. -- gil -- StorageTek INFORMATION made POWERFUL -- 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: HMC load failure - IPL address 0000 invalid
Patrick, You say you do an ACTIVATE on a LOAD profile, which leads me to believe you are doing an Activate on the image with the Load during activate specified. You probably need to check the image profile. First double-click on the LPAR image from the CPC Images area. Make sure that the activation profile is the same as the one you want to use. If it is, then , close the window, select the image from the image screen, then double-click customize/delete activation profiles. Select the image profile and click 'customize', then click the load tab and see what it has. This is defaulted to Load Address.

FW: HMC load failure - IPL address 0000 invalid
From Mike Reddy... A couple of questions first: What changed? Are we using an Image profile to activate the lpar, or just a LOAD profile? A load profile has a pre-determined load address and parm specified. We don't use them here because we change sysres's every time almost. An image profile defines the lpar storage, weight, cpu, etc, and includes an OPTIONAL load screen to automatically IPL the lpar to a pre-determined address. We don't use that option either. Double click exact icon that is being ACTIVATED for the system to IPL (it may be a grouping and not that actual image icon) and look at the top for the assigned profile Then click Change options to view that profile and look for the LOAD tab that shows the predetermined load address. If it is in fact zero, the HMC is doing what it was told to do. Starting this week I am now experiencing HMC failures IPL'ing my z/OS systems. My load profiles look correct, but I now receive an error stating The load address is not configured in the partition and displays a load address of . The IPL parm looks correct, just the LOAD address is . This occurs when I do an activate to the LOAD profile. The IPL is successful if I do a manual LOAD. I see this error using two different HMCs at different code levels. I am experiencing this on 2 different processors. Anyone sees something like this before? I have a hard time believing it is a HMC bug as it has been operating many months before with no problem.

PD REPLACE,PAGE=(sys1.page01,sys1.page04)
Hi, now speaking as a DB2 sysprog. Today the mvs group issued the PD REPLACE,PAGE=(sys1.page01,sys1.page04) command which ends successfully. However seconds later we got several abends in DB2 V8 dealing with RC00C90101, seconds later several abends S02A RSN8 and then several STC fails with different kind of abends mostly S0C4. This includes CICS, TCPIP and third party software and also the CATALOG asid. Environment z/OS R4. The logrec shows four abends for RC00C90101 followed by hundreds of S02A RC8. Because of huge number of dumps written by CICS among other we had to cancel CICS and other STC. After restart of DB2 some VSAM datasets gets IDC-Errors. We're able to delete those VSAM cluster and start DB2 recover. We`ve been able to delete those datasets from a different LPAR sharing the data. I was wondering why so I issue a F CATALOG,RESTART and after this all VSAM cluster looks fine. But still VTAM dumps several S0C1 abends so we end up in an IPL later. During the PD REPLACE we had about 14 active pagedatasets on this image. So you see we are storage constraint at this time because of end of year activities. I know it's just feeling but could the PD REPLACE cause the problems we've seen? Not sure if the mvs group will open a PMR.

Re: Why does LMPUT(ISPF Library service)?
From: Johnny Luo [EMAIL PROTECTED]
My plan is:Invoke the REXX--It asks you for the existing PDS name
and the new member name which you want to addaccomplish.
Johnny,
Rather than using LMINIT/LMMPUT/LMMADD (etc) it would be easier to create a
new member using an edit macro. The REXX driver would look similar to this:
/* REXX to call the NEWMEMB edit macro */
say Enter data set and member name without quotes
pull dsn
address ispexec EDIT DATASET('dsn') MACRO(NEWMEMB)
The 'NEWMEMB' macro would look like this:
/* REXX edit macro to create an empty member */
address isredit
MACRO
SAVE
END
Hope that helps!

Re: Mainframe to windows and windows to mainframe
John,bill,chris,nobert and Frank I am very much thankful for the information u have all provided to me regarding the FTP to mainframe. With all your inputs I had carried out to submit a PS dataset creation JCL from windows to mainframe and it worked. However, when I tried to issue the ls command I got the below messages ftp ls 200 Port request OK. 125 Nlst started OK No jobs found on Held queue 250 Nlst completed successfully ftp: 29 bytes received in 0.00Seconds 29000.00Kbytes/sec. But the spool contains the below jobsand I had logged with user id THIRU THIRRES JOB01131 THIRU1 PRINT A 506 THIRMQAA JOB01132 THIRU1 PRINT A 507 THIRMQAA JOB01134 THIRU1 PRINT A 508 THIRRES JOB01133 THIRU1 PRINT A 509 THIRTESB JOB01140 THIRU1 PRINT A 510 THIRTESB JOB01141 THIRU1 PRINT A 511 THIRTESB JOB01151 THIRU1 PRINT A 512 Hence I couldnt able to retrieve the output(log) back to windows.

Using FTP to GET a job from a remote computer
*** Your mail has been scanned by InterScan. ***-*** Hi, I've tried using FTP to GET a job from a remote computer. The remote computer has a file the contains an MVS job. I would like to transfer it directly to the internal reader. If I do this from the remote computer, I can use 'quote site file=jes' to send the file directly to the internal reader, but it looks like the FTP client on OS/390 v2.10 does not support this by using the 'locsite file=jes'. Does anyone know if more current versions of z/OS support this?

Re: Using FTP to GET a job from a remote computer
Gadi, I may be wrong but I thought 2.10 supported this. Have you checked the value of JESINTERFACELEVEL ? From memory I think it needs to be set to 2 Cheers, Mick Sheehy (BSc.

Re: z/OS V1.7 ServerPac DeliveryTime
I placed an order for z/OS 1.7 on September 20, 2005. The order was never fulfilled. After investigating, IBM Software Manufacturing staff determined that the order was simply stuck in the system and lost (along with five others, I was told). I just ordered z/OS 1.7 again - it took about four days for the new order to be ready for internet download. If you want to follow up with your order, you need to call IBM Software Manufacturing at 800 879 2755 select option 2, then option 2, and ask them what happened with your order. They will need the order number - mine started with the digits 2005.
